The goop Take: The Polo

In partnership with our friends at

It’s been almost half a century since Ralph Lauren gave the world his polo shirt. The preppy staple has gone from classic to ironic and back again. And through it all, we’ve never stopped wearing it. We asked seven women how they make this iconic shirt uniquely their own.

• Ariane Aumont

  Owner, Le Picnic

  “As a chef, I’ve always had a profound love for playing with color, texture, seasonality, and whimsy. And the same can be said for my closet. Is it a linen dress, Spanish market sandals, and ouroboros power necklace kind of day? Or perhaps my favorite pair of vintage jeans, a white polo or collared button-up (buttoned to the top) and hoop earrings? My style is a reflection of what I’m manifesting for the day. It’s my most obvious form of creative expression.”

  Founder, Moon Juice

  “At this point, getting dressed needs to happen in less than three minutes while checking email, talking to my son, and brushing my teeth. I’ve embraced the social acceptance of being a professional in my mid-thirties and dressing like I did as a teenager. Same polo, same Birks, same stripes, same colors that make me happy!”

• Nandita Khanna

  Editorial Projects Director, Goop

  “I’m drawn to unexpected pairings—something a little fancy, like slouchy silk trousers, with something preppy, like this tailored piqué shirt buttoned all the way up. Bonus points for adding classic leather sneakers or a trench.”

  “I like tomboyish, menswear-inspired pieces. I love a simple top because I’m almost always wearing a jacket or coat. I pull my outfit together with a complete look in mind.”
