Polo Ralph Lauren Celebrates Pride Month

As June marks Pride Month and the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall uprising, many fashion and beauty brands are coming out to support the LGBTQ+ community in impactful ways.

Several brands are showing their support by creating capsule collections full of rainbow-themed apparel and accessories, donating up to 100 percent of net proceeds to charities that benefit the LGBTQ+ community, including GLAAD, the Hetrick-Martin Institute and the United Nations Free & Equal campaign, among others.

This year, Polo Ralph Lauren is launching it’s first collection and campaign dedicated to LGBTQ+ rights. The brand’s Pride capsule collection includes five gender-neutral pieces, including a reimagined polo shirt with a rainbow collar and a T-shirt, sweater, hat and tote bag featuring a rainbow version of the brand’s logo.

As the company’s website states: “For more than 25 years, Ralph Lauren Corporation and The Polo Ralph Lauren Foundation have supported the LGBTQIA+ community through volunteer activations, corporate initiatives, and financial grants. Our partners have included, but are not limited to, the Hetrick-Martin Institute, amfAR, AIDS Walk New York, God’s Love We Deliver, and the Elton John AIDS Foundation.”

This year, one hundred percent of proceeds from the T-shirt and 50 percent of proceeds from the other items will be donated to the Stonewall Community Foundation.  You can shop the collection on ralphlauren.com/pride.
