In Collaboration with U.S. Polo Assn.

Tracing the legacy of a brand that celebrates sport and style

Everything you need to know about the iconic evolution of the U.S. Polo Assn.—a brand that has redefined classic American fashion

23 November 2023

Polo, one of the oldest equestrian sports in the world has always symbolized speed, skill, precision and, above all else, timeless elegance. Each one of these values has been celebrated and supported by the U.S. Polo Association, the national governing body for the sport of polo in the United States. Over the years, the organization, which was founded as early as 1890, has made every effort to not only preserve the tradition and values of the prestigious sport but also promote its legacy. In 1981, these efforts led to the launch of U.S. Polo Assn.—a fashion brand that seamlessly translates the essence of polo into stylish apparel, allowing enthusiasts to carry the spirit of the sport with them wherever they go.

The label, which is seen as a true testament to timeless American style, has garnered a large following for its elevated classics—timeless polo shirts, comfortable cable knit sweaters, bomber jackets, light sweaters and more—that come stamped with an iconic logo featuring two horsemen. Over four decades since its launch, U.S. Polo Assn. has been available in close to 190 countries and has 1,100 stores across the globe.

What contributes to the brand’s growing popularity is its ability to stick to its signature style. For those of you who are looking to invest in pieces that stand the test of time, you’re in luck because the brand’s Black Friday Sale is now live. To help you get started, we’ve rounded up some cult favorites that are available at discounts that are too good to pass up on. Hurry and add them to your shopping cart.

The Classic Polo Shirt

You can never have too many polo shirts. The staple style, which is crafted using breathable cotton and has the brand’s logo emblazoned on it, can be paired with comfortable jeans, tailored trousers, shorts and even skirts. When the temperature starts to dip, wear it with a blazer and you’re good to go.

The Quintessential Puffer Jacket

Every winter wardrobe warrants a puffer jacket—it’s that one layer that never goes out of style. What we love about this hooded iteration is its versatility—it can be worn with everything from a light knit to a chunky hoodie.

The Cozy Cable Knit Sweater

A cotton-blend cable knit sweater is as cozy as it sounds. And here’s the best part; it’s incredibly stylish too. Wear it as is, over a crisp white button-down or under a fuzzy jacket, the possibilities are truly endless.

The Cool Bomber Jacket

Not only does this easy-to-pair bomber jacket have the ability to up the cool quotient of any look almost instantly, it’s also practical. Its two pockets can be used to keep your hands toasty when the temperature dips or accommodate your essentials—credit cards, keys or anything you like to keep handy—with ease.

The Smart Satin Shirt

This button-down, which is made using 100% cotton, is a style that feels relevant in your wardrobe every season. While it can be worn as a breezy layer during the summer, in the cooler months, wear it under a sweater or a blazer— it’s the perfect way to add polish to your outfit.

Loafers

Bored of boots? This winter, try adding loafers to your wardrobe instead. They are comfortable, fuss-free and befriend a slew of bottoms. Count on them to make every look more classy.
