Polo might be able to bounce back but more than likely its going to go the way of

A lot of people forget they used to be preppy too

This what the fly cats wanna rock nowadays, rl polo will never be played out but it took a backseat, they aint tryna adjust to a urban demographic like moncler did, so its on them,.

They been woulda made a killing among the splashy crowd if that teddy bear was brought back to the forefront imo

It definitely gotta do with PRICES....but low-key FIT of their clothing is killin POLO too. While brands like H&M, UNI, etc. produce clothes with more of a tailored fit....RL still producing the same loose fittin clothing it been making forever. Their shyt doesn't hug your frame the way some of these other brands do. If your true size is an L or XL.....that means u gotta get the extra smedium from LO....nd shyt still fits funny. POLO will always have official pieces outside of the big horse shyt...they just need a brand update

J Crew also took a lot of steam from RL as well and got some of their designers.

Indeed. It's hard to find a RL polo shirt that fits me right. That's why I prefer Lacoste and Brooks Brothers for preppy clothing. I only own one RL polo shirt.
