  • Ralph Lauren’s Sporting Capsule channels motorsport history with a contemporary, track-ready style.
  • Signature American polish meets playful nods to 80s and 90s F1, including the Goodyear podium cap.
  • Designed for both men and women, the collection is versatile, polished, and event-ready for the global F1 season.

Ralph Lauren has always been on the right side of sport, leveraging its iconic Polo collection to become the fashionable fan’s go-to for the world’s biggest sporting stages.

From the sun-soaked courts of the Australian Open to the alpine pistes of Milano Cortina 2026, Ralph Lauren has consistently delivered polished fits for the most discerning sports enthusiasts, whether here in Australia or abroad.

Known primarily for preppy staples, Harrington jackets, and perfectly worn-in denim, Polo Ralph Lauren now shifts gears into race-day mode with its new Sporting Capsule, celebrating Formula 1’s storied history with a vibrant lookbook across the entire collection.

Perfectly placed before the inaugural race of the 2026 Formula 1 season, Ralph Lauren’s collection takes Ferrari-red jackets, bold branding and logos littered across ambitious pieces perfectly engineered for the track.

You only have to flick through the collection to see the vision: Race-inspired style meets modern tailoring; playful nods to 80s and 90s F1 icons (such as the standout take on a Goodyear podium cap); and strong and imposing silhouettes that take the collection right into the heart of the Formula 1 paddock.

Ralph Lauren Sporting Capsule

It’s motorsport made wearable. Polished yet playful, sophisticated and event-ready. It speaks to the evolution of the sport in recent years, with more and more brands and creatives partnering with F1 with each passing season.

For me, however, the Sporting Capsule takes it further; blending competition, camaraderie, and that unmistakable American polish into a sport that’s welcoming further North American expansion in 2026.

The collection drops in early March. So, by the time the chequered flags drop once more at the Australian Grand Prix, expect to see Ralph Lauren’s heritage racing alongside the fastest drivers on the planet… and in this capsule, everyone’s sitting on pole.
