Beginning with menswear and the Polo shirt, Lauren drew from Ivy League tailoring, English country dress, equestrian culture, Hollywood, Westernwear, and classic American sportswear, continually reshaping these references across different eras and collections.

His style evolved considerably over the decades, but the underlying language remained consistent: an idealized, highly curated vision of American life. Vintage Ralph Lauren eyewear reflects this evolution, shifting from classic preppy opticals to oversized fashion frames and sport-influenced silhouettes while remaining connected to the larger world Lauren had built around them.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Polo by Ralph Lauren","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53854851629240,"sku":"LON-726-19","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/8814\/4312\/files\/IMG_4550.jpg?v=1786029440","url":"https:\/\/azyrspecs.com\/fr\/products\/1990s-polo-sunglasses-archive-0020","provider":"AZYR Specs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
