The Brand Making Summer Occasion Dressing A Breeze

Nail the ‘elevated yet effortless’ brief with Polo Ralph Lauren.

From long lunches and end of year celebrations all the way up to Christmas Day, our summer social calendars are filling up fast. And while we love any excuse to get together with our favourite people, we don’t love getting stuck on what to wear. But a wardrobe filled with the right pieces? You’ll never second-guess your outfit again. That’s where these all-occasion picks from Polo Ralph Lauren come in…

Crisp cotton shirts are a Polo Ralph Lauren signature, and the style doesn’t stop working hard just because you’re off the clock. Swap out your weekday go-to for something a little more relaxed, like this colourful striped option that’s got sunset drinks at a rooftop bar written all over it. A pair of chino shorts, your go-to sunglasses and fresh white sneakers steer the look firmly into summer smart-casual – the dress code of choice for everything from boat parties and pub sessions to Christmas lunch with the fam.

When the sun is shining and we’ve got our favourite sip in hand, this is the only outfit we want to be wearing. A light, breezy sundress in linen or cotton is perfect for keeping cool while looking chic – we love the subtle blue stripe and (functional!) pockets on this shirred number. Endlessly versatile, the right day dress can be styled back with sneakers or slides for a casual yet clean aesthetic (think backyard barbecues or Sunday brunch), or dressed up with a summery wedge heel and light tote bag for more elevated alfresco celebrations.

For The Kids

If the festive season calls for something a little fancier than their usual, a Polo piece (or two) is the perfect pick. A charming shirt dress works for picnics, garden parties and indoor celebrations alike, and this sweet cotton poplin number can be teamed with sneakers or sandals to suit any dress code (or morning-of mood). For an event-ready upgrade on their go-to shorts and tee combo, swap in a button-down shirt with a fun pattern or colour. When teamed with a pair of chino shorts and canvas trainers, it’s a polished look that won’t feel overdressed – AKA a win-win for everyone.
