After shining a spotlight on the Ralph Lauren collection during New York Fashion Week last month, the company turned its attention to Polo.

For the second consecutive season, the company brought the more affordably priced collection to Paris, this time showcasing it during an intimate presentation at an apartment in the French city.

While a perennial favorite, Polo has become even more popular these days as the preppy trend continues to gain momentum, particularly among young people. But while the brand will always have its iconic staples such as the polo shirt, varsity jacket and Oxford shirt, the Paris presentation offered a more-elevated aesthetic.

The inspiration behind the spring ’26 collection was the designer, his wife Ricky and their family enjoying some down time at their villa Round Hill in Jamaica. As such, the collection spoke to both the glamour of travel and the relaxed vibe of the island nation. Think safari jackets and madras skirts, a single-breasted linen suit and reimagined cable knit sweaters with mother-of-pearl buttons in a collection that felt both classic and easy.

The star of the season was the wrap pant, offered in a variety of fabrics and colors and paired with everything from a denim jacket to a tailored blazer, showing the versatility of the piece that has its origins in the cream sarong over white pants that Ricky Lauren pioneered back in the day.

The color palette centered around neutrals but pops of bold color added dimension. Outerwear played a key role in pieces such as windbreakers and trenches. Linen separates and shirts in stripes and large-scale plaids were highlights along with poplin skirts and crocheted sweaters sporting the brand’s iconic polo pony.

Accessories were also a highlight of the collection, ranging from the Polo Play, Polo ID and Bellport handbags to the relaunched belt offering. Among the bags on display were white leather shoulder models with long brown fringe, small raffia versions and island-inspired blue or orange beaded bags with complementary beaded straps. Belts were offered in everything from equestrian-inspired pieces and Western-inspired conchos to traditional leather and three new eyewear shapes were also introduced.

Womenswear, which became a $2 billion business for Ralph Lauren last year, is seen as a major growth opportunity for the company and is projected to grow at an accelerated rate over the next three years. And with a spring Polo collection as strong as this one, it’s bound to help that cause.
