Saw this on grailed
Think you're minimizing the effect and thinking that Lo-Lifes and that overall street movement only impacted a "lower class". Street style and its impact on society (and fashion) as a whole is not confined to a certain socio-economic class. The truth is that although high-end brands will target the upper class as the intended demographic, they will never grow to billion dollar conglomerates solely in staying in that lane. Growth only comes when you can provide your customer with various entry points and reach all demos.
In my opinion, the streets made it cool to wear Polo, they made it so that when you got your first taste of some money you went to buy a Polo shirt. That isn't confined to a specific region or a cross section of society, its global. So did the Lo-Lifes make it a billion dollar biz? Of course not, but that buzz made it cool and it made it hip and it made the news and gave the brand credibility. You used Rolls, Lambo, Chanel and Hermes as an example, but these brands aren't considered great businesses. They all failed or were on the verge of failure because they ONLY catered to the uber rich. Rolls is owned by VW and Lambo by Audi (i think its a JV now actually). RL is more like a Mercedes and BMW. They started out as a luxury item for uber rich but they became global behemoths because they cater to all demos.
Again not saying this is all because of Lo-Lifes but am saying that they had a large impact then just being a low class consumer.

Been in the RL Insiders program since it started... was excited for it, but the surveys haven't revealed anything too exciting. You end up seeing some stuff early, but nothing this board would be too jacked about.
RE: the lo-life/streetwear impact on polo brand. I think some of the difference in opinion on this is based on where you are from... I think the lo-life culture HAS had an impact on how people growing up in New york see the brand... But outside of New York, i'm not sure how big the impact was. I grew up in chicago, and until last year, had no clue there was an entire culture of polo aficionados. I've been buying polo since mid-90's, and just figured I was O.C.D. or a weirdo... cause eventually it was the only stuff I bought. Polo sells in Chicago, but when I was in New York last time... a wedding rented a large section of a popular club, and I was shocked at how many people were wearing polo. So potentially the difference in how people view the impact is based on where they are from.
I think the brand has always worked to sell a "lifestyle" -- themes, auras that transcend income and race.... Thats why everyone; poor, middle class and rich, can enjoy Ralph Lauren in some form or fashion. He has also used design and style archetypes that never change, and will never be IN or OUT of style... When I was a teen, I was drawn to the brand cause I went to a high school with alot of rich kids... and I wasn't. Polo seemed to be the brand of confidence, quiet luxury, Americana... Might sound sad, but every teenager wants to fit in and attract gals... so I started going to marshall field's and buying polo on clearance, so that I wouldnt exclusively be wearing JC Penny outlet stuff or hand-me-downs from cousins.

didn't realize the colorway and b&w snow beach fleeces were different ... The OG one is more cotton, the b&w is the shinier, thinner polo sport sweatshirt material that is more polyester.

re: The p-wing performance shirts.
talked to guy at state st Macys (Chicago) and he said a few others had already asked. He checked with the polo rep and they should be on floor by Monday he said. So potentially the p-wing shirts will be in all stores, or at least more than just NY?

The Michigan Ave store had them on Monday when I stopped in. They were tucked away on some obscure shelves in the corner.

It was rather odd. Typically Macy’s has all of their newer pieces laid out or hanging up, but these were folded on a shelf, knee high in a corner, toward the end of the Polo section.

Definitely thought I took all the L's when it came to the SB release, but the misses surprised me with this for Valentine's Day. She wouldn't tell me but I hope she was savvy enough to get a good offer and not pay Love & Loyalty taxes, lol.

The pony shirt I posted earlier was setup a similar way, honestly if I wasn't looking for the P-Wing shirt I may have missed it entirely. I also got the RL insider email, **** was in my spam folder
, I received it yesterday surprisingly.
