Polo was once a classy, relaxing, and American fashion company. It was never meant for ghettos to beat each other up for it in the hood. This is a disrespect to Ralph Lauren and his class

YOOO!! IM SCREAMING! DRAKE JUS WORE A POLO JACKET IN A VIDEO, THESE MANS MADE A DOC ON HOW ITS BEEN A HIP HOP THING LMAOO.
Polo is for real classy niggas trying to impress a lady. Wearing hypebeast shits (Supreme, Bape, Givenchy, Balenciaga, Gucci, OFF-WHITE, Fear of God and VLONE) is for 12 year old kids that want to impress a girl but won't get laid (even though I respect those kids nowadays husslin' and grinding get bread).
I always rock my polo shirt with levi jeans and polo boots when go out
Polo didn't influence hip-hop. It was just a choice of colorful clothing that the Lo Lifes in Brownsville and Crown Heights made popular in the culture – and they didn't spend much (or any) money on it. That changed later, especially when regular people started wearing it. Point is, they co-opted the brand to stunt, and it became a part of hip-hop by osmosis.
