Polo Ralph Lauren's US Open Collection: Performance Meets Style

The countdown to Flushing Meadows is on, and if the tennis obsessives in your life have gone a little quiet, there’s a good reason. The US Open is looming, the draws are taking shape, and the last Grand Slam of the year is about to swallow the sporting calendar whole.

While players fine‑tune their games, Polo Ralph Lauren has already taken the court.

The long-time US Open partner has rolled out a new tournament collection that lands with the same kind of intent as a Jannik Sinner forehand drilled down the line. More than 60 pieces, all built around this year’s Open, and it’s anything but a lazy logo slap.

This is a full game plan.

You want performance gear for the courts? It’s there: hyper-technical fabrics, sharp cuts, the kind of kit you actually see in motion under the New York lights. Prefer something slower, more nostalgic? Polo leans into that, too, with vintage-inspired knitwear that looks like it’s been pulled straight from a sepia-toned archive and dropped into 2024.

The range doesn’t stop at fanwear. The exact uniforms worn by chair umpires and ball crews are in the mix, a rare chance to own the same looks that move through every match, every changeover, every five-set epic. Then come the staples: classic tees, crisp embroidered button-ups, the everyday pieces that still carry the charge of a night session on Arthur Ashe.

It could have been repetitive. It isn’t. The collection shows more variety than a Carlos Alcaraz point construction: power pieces, touch pieces, and a few that feel like pure improvisation.

Call it merch if you like, but that undersells it. This is one of the most considered, expansive tournament drops of the year, built not just for the fortnight in Queens but for anyone who lives on a steady diet of hard courts and late breaks of serve.

There’s a lot to sift through, and not much time before the first ball is tossed. The shelves are already thinning out. In tennis terms, it’s deep into the third set.

If you’re planning to dress like the Open plays—fast, sharp, and with a bit of swagger—you’re already close to match point.
