The new collection blends collegiate classics with coastal ease, celebrating generations of Black style in Martha’s Vineyard.
Building on his historic partnerships with Morehouse and Spelman Colleges, Ralph Lauren takes us beyond the classroom and into summer break, with a sartorial tribute to Oak Bluffs for the brands newest offering. Nestled on Martha’s Vineyard, Oak Bluffs has been a beloved retreat for Black communities for over a century, steeped in tradition, family, and timeless style.
The collection draws from this rich cultural heritage, weaving together menswear and womenswear that fuse Ivy League polish with the laid-back charm of coastal living. Think cable knits layered over crisp polos, nautical stripes reimagined with collegiate flair, and relaxed tailoring made for golden-hour strolls on the boardwalk.
More than just a summer wardrobe, Polo Ralph Lauren’s latest collection is a celebration of legacy, identity, and the enduring power of Black American style. Take a look at the campaign, shot by Nadine Ijewere, below.
