Our Polo glasses collection captures the timeless, preppy spirit of Polo Ralph Lauren in a range of prescription frames built for classic, understated style. Few names evoke American heritage quite like Polo — the equestrian pony logo, the collegiate polish, the effortless mix of sport and refinement — and its optical eyewear brings that same relaxed confidence to your everyday look. As an authorised UK stockist, Ardor Eyewear supplies only genuine Polo glasses, each ready to be glazed with your prescription. With frames priced from around £85 to £105, this is designer eyewear that feels both aspirational and genuinely attainable.
What defines the Polo glasses collection
The appeal of Polo glasses lies in their easy, heritage-led style. Where some designer eyewear shouts, Polo speaks with quiet confidence: clean shapes, quality materials, and the discreet pony emblem on the temple that instantly signals the brand. This is eyewear for those who value classic good taste over passing trends — frames you can wear to the office, at the weekend and for years to come. Styles such as the PH1239 and PH1157 showcase the brand's refined metal and combination designs, while the PH2299D, PH2298D, PH2297 and PH2296 highlight its bolder, more masculine acetate silhouettes.
Polo eyewear leans towards a smart-casual, men's-oriented sensibility, though several frames carry a versatile, unisex appeal. If you are exploring your options, our full glasses hub and dedicated men's eyeglasses collection are great places to compare styles across brands, while our eyesight glasses frames range groups frames by everyday optical use.
Polo Ralph Lauren heritage and design codes
Born from Ralph Lauren's vision of aspirational American style, the Polo line has long celebrated a heritage of preppy elegance — Ivy League tailoring, equestrian sport and country-club ease. In eyewear, those roots translate into a set of recognisable design codes. The first is the iconic pony logo, applied subtly to the temple as a mark of authenticity. The second is a classic material palette: warm havana tortoiseshell, black, crystal and understated metals in gold and gunmetal. The third is timeless shape-making — pilot, rectangular, round and square silhouettes drawn straight from the archive of enduring styles.
Rather than chase novelty, Polo refines the classics. Combination frames pair acetate fronts with slim metal temples for a smart, versatile look, while all-metal pilots and round styles offer a lighter, more retro-inspired feel. It is a collection built on wearability, which is exactly why it suits such a wide range of shoppers.
Choosing the right Polo frame for your face
Getting the most flattering Polo frame comes down to balancing your face shape. Rectangular and square styles bring definition and structure to rounder faces; round and oval frames soften angular or square features; and pilot shapes suit oval and heart-shaped faces particularly well. Because Polo offers everything from slim metal frames to bolder acetate designs, there is a proportion to suit most face sizes.
Each product page lists lens width, bridge width and temple length in millimetres. The simplest way to shop online with confidence is to measure a pair of glasses you already wear and like, then match those figures. If you are between sizes, a medium fit is usually the most versatile. A well-fitted frame should sit level, rest comfortably on the bridge without slipping or pinching, and keep your eyes centred in the lenses.
Materials and craftsmanship
Polo glasses are typically made from quality acetate — a durable, plant-based material valued for its warmth, colour depth and comfortable feel — or from lightweight metal for the brand's pilot and round styles. Combination frames blend the two, marrying an acetate front with metal temples for a smart, adaptable silhouette. Many models feature sprung hinges for a secure, forgiving fit, while metal styles often include adjustable nose pads to fine-tune comfort. It is honest, well-made eyewear that stands up to daily life.
Prescription and lens options at Ardor
Almost every frame in this collection can be glazed to your prescription in our own in-house service. Choose single-vision lenses for distance or reading, varifocal lenses for a seamless transition between near and far, or bifocals if you prefer a defined reading segment. We also offer blue-light filtering lenses — ideal for long hours at a screen — plus photochromic lenses that darken automatically outdoors, and tints if you would like your Polo frames to work as sunglasses too.
Simply select your lens type and enter your prescription at checkout. If you would rather shop by optical need, our varifocal glasses and men's reading glasses collections make comparison easy. Prescription orders take approximately 7–10 working days to glaze before dispatch, and UK shipping is always free.
Styling your Polo glasses
Polo frames are made for versatile, put-together dressing. A tortoiseshell rectangle brings smart polish to workwear and pairs effortlessly with a shirt and knit; a metal pilot adds a relaxed, heritage edge to weekend denim; and a round acetate style lends character to a smart-casual look. The understated pony logo means the frames never overpower an outfit, so they slot neatly into a classic wardrobe. For a coordinated designer look, many shoppers match their optical frames with a complementary pair of sunglasses in a similar shape or colourway.
