27 Effortless Summer Staples You'll Find In The Ralph Lauren Sale
Casual summer tailoring, classic cotton oxford shirts and linen galore - the Ralph Lauren sale is not to be missed, offering up to 30% off some of its most iconic styles.
It may be hard to believe when it feels like summer's only just beginning, but the time has come for what is undeniably the best sale period of the year. The fashion calendar’s perpetual desire to stay one step ahead can often feel out of whack with what we see out of our window (discounted swimmers when we’re entering the depths of winter, for example). However, for a nation where warm weather is often slow off the starting line, the summer sales are perfectly in tune with our sartorial desires as the dresses, shirts and linens retailers teased us about in early spring finally find their purpose. As you might expect when every retailer under the sun is ready to part wayS with their warm weather wares, the discount landscape can become cluttered – and unappealing - fast. So, to cut through the noise, let us direct you straight to the one sale that matters - Ralph Lauren.
Offering up to 30% off a selection of stylish and seasonally appropriate pieces, the Ralph Lauren sale is worth the break from sunbathing. Few modern designer brands can rival the heritage, timelessness and accessibility of Ralph Lauren. In essence, whatever your preferred style, there’s nothing not to like. The New York designer’s namesake label has been going the distance for just shy of 60 years, and there’s no doubt you either own an oxford shirt, polo, cable knit or a piece of its signature preppy tailoring - or, failing that, know someone who does. The logo itself has become a symbol of prestige, while the clothes themselves – the American dream, materialised – hold true staying power, often transcending trends as we know them and marching to the beat of their own well-practiced drum. As you can therefore imagine, the Ralph Lauren sale is packed with crowd-pleasers.
For men, there are iconic logo-laden shirts, knits and polos aplenty. Hot city commutes through to weekends unwinded are covered, with a special mention to its summer tailoring – slender, relaxed silhouettes that feel effortless, refined and universally flattering. For women, there are two distinct summer personalities to tap into – the California Girl and the Hamptons sophisticate. The former nods to the current theme of the summer collection, enjoying rascal pops of colour, adventurous prints and fun shapes that feel ready for a summer overlooking the surf. The latter stays true to the core Ralph aesthetic: turned up sleeves peeking from beneath checked blazers, pretty floral sun dresses and refined sportswear ready for a luxury weekend out of state.
For the Ralph Lauren summer pieces most worthy of your consideration, keep scrolling – Port has curated a top tier selection of the best men's and women's sale buys below. Timeless, well-priced and sure to satisfy all summer long.
Slim Fit Striped Oxford Shirt
A pillar of Polo style since it was first introduced, the logo emblazoned cotton oxford shirts are a staple you'll reach for on repeat. Stock up while they're 30% off.
Custom Slim Fit Jersey Crewneck T-Shirt
Another style stalwart, the simple Polo tee - particularly effortless in white - is a must purchase for elegant everyday wear.
Custom Fit Striped Oxford Shirt
Cut for a trim fit and lifted in fine deckchair stripes, this is an easy way to switch your office attire into summer mode while still feeling laidback enough for weekend endeavours.
Garment-Dyed Stretch Chino Suit Trouser
Expertly cut from stretch cotton chino and garment-dyed for a relaxed look, this is summer tailoring at its finest. Pair with the matching double breasted blazer for those social season dress codes that require maximum smarts.
Classic Fit Embroidered Chino Shirt
An enjoyable departure from the traditional preppy Ralph look, this embroidered chino shirt is plucked from the fictional Ralph Lauren Motorshop for a more laidback look.
The Iconic Rugby Shirt
The Iconic Rugby Shirt captures the preppy yet sporty sensibility that has long defined the Polo Ralph Lauren brand. This particularly summery version features all the hallmarks of a traditional rugby shirt – the white point collar, concealed placket, rubber buttons and rib-knit cuffs - in vibrant shades that will translate long into autumn too.
Classic Fit Mesh Polo Shirt
Nothing captures the all-American varsity look Ralph has refined over the decades quite like the iconic cotton mesh Polo. It has been reimagined every which way in years gone by, but nothing will serve you quite as well as classic white. Just add chinos or shorts with leather trainers for an easy summer's day uniform.
Custom Fit Striped Oxford Fun Shirt
Decades ago, tailors would learn their craft by sewing together shirts made from fabric remnants. Over time, a staple of playful preppy style evolved from the practice - the fun shirt - and it's set to be your new summer weekend favourite.
Classic Stretch Cotton Trunk 3-Pack
Come on, who could resist a top up? Three classic colours that feel suitably playful for summer, and on offer with 30% off.
Cable-Knit Cotton Jumper
Not every summer evening will be as balmy as you'd like and, for those cooler occasions, a soft and light cable knit cotton jumper is the perfect touch. We're particularly fond of the sunshine yellow.
Whitman Relaxed Fit Pleated Trouser
When shorts don't feel right and you'd rather leave the linen in your holiday-packing pile, wear these. In soft cotton chino, these pleated trousers offer a classic Polo look with their relaxed, airy silhouette. Smart, but not smart enough that you wouldn't wear with trainers.
Packable Water-Repellent Jacket
Great British summers are rarely perfect. This jacket's lightweight fabric is treated with water-repellent properties to help keep you dry in any rainy weather that is likely to come your way.
Frayed-Hem Denim Western Shirt
Another American classic, this lightweight Western shirt is designed with a frayed hem for the look of a well-worn favourite.
Pleated Striped Twill Suit Trouser
For those looking to get more out of their tailoring, this sharp striped trew is an excellent addition to your smartwear wardrobe - tailored from lightweight twill that was woven in Italy from cotton and linen.
Classic Fit Plaid Flannel Workshirt
In a vivacious green plaid, this flannel work shirt defies the seasons - a true investment that can be worn with light denim now or woollen trousers when autumn sets in.
Oversize Fit Linen Shirt
Purchase well when it comes to a white linen shirt and you won't have to purchase again in a hurry. Rendered in lightweight linen and cut for an oversize silhouette, this timeless shirt is made with longevity in mind - finished with lustrous shell buttons and the signature embroidered Pony on the cuff for a luxurious finish.
Pointelle Cotton Peplum Jumper
An open knit jumper for maximum waft, this carnival-worthy layer is perfect for styling over the coolest summer maxi skirts.

You know you'll wear these Italian blend cotton-linen shorts endlessly. Pair with an oversized white linen shirt and tan sandals, whether you're at the beach or traipsing through city streets.

Made with the smoothest mulberry silk twill, this bohemian printed scarf top is wholly deserving of a place in your getaway wardrobe.

Nautical-Motif Cotton-Blend Jumper
Quite simply the sort of knit that will rack up compliments every time you wear it - the perfect designer purchase.
Starburst-Motif Satin Wide-Leg Trouser
Pack these smooth satin wide legs for your next getaway - smart with a knotted linen shirt, or with a clashing scarf top.
Silk Midi Slip Dress
Deceptively simple yet effortlessly elevated, the silk slip dress remains timeless. The ability to repeat wear throughout the year from spring weddings through to Christmas parties makes this a must-purchase.
Striped Jersey Wrap Tee Dress
A day at the beach, in dress form. Summer dressing doesn't get much easier than this.
