The warm and lazy days of summer are here again and that means dressing with coolness and comfort in mind. Time to hie off in search of adventures, or just sit back and relax. But laidback doesn’t have to mean sloppy. Keeping one’s cool can be done with a great deal of style.
It’s technically the pre-Spring 2025 collection that’s now available at the new boutique of Polo Ralph Lauren, located at the Shoppes in Solaire. That’s because springtime officially starts on March 20 in the US and runs up to the third week of June, while here in the Philippines we go straight from chilly February into summer. But Polo Ralph Lauren’s timelessly elegant and classic looks fit right into the season. Trips to the beach and cooler climes beckon as temperatures rise, but even just staying in the city can provide opportunities for a fun exercise in sartorial skills. Polo Ralph Lauren’s collections can help you with that.

The youthful Ivy League-inspired look has always been at the heart of Polo Ralph Lauren, and its Polo Athletic Club collection has vibrantly colored preppy pieces for that active lifestyle. Or perhaps, if you just like to dress to look active. Modern Sportswear, on the other hand, has softer colors and lighter fabrics that are versatile enough to take you from work to leisure.

Studio by the Sea is inspired by the coastal blues of surf and sky, and has a laidback vibe and light materials, perfect for easy summer dressing in our beach resorts or even just the mall. The women’s line of Polo Ralph Lauren combines classic heritage pieces with romantic, flowy silhouettes and pops of color for effortless elegance that helps you feel and look cool in the summer heat. For the men, tailored sophistication includes lightweight jackets, knits, trousers and chinos that are perfect for city living and weekend escapes.

What Polo Ralph Lauren is especially promoting now is their Polo Play bag collection, made from pebbled Italian leather and cotton canvas. These come in earthy neutrals, indigos and sun-washed colors. They make roomy accessories to add pizzazz to any outfit.
