Ralph Lauren returns as the official outfitter of the Australian Open in 2025

GAME, SET, MATCH — but make it fashion. Ralph Lauren is set to return to the Australian Open (AO) in 2025 as the Official Outfitter, and this time, they’re taking things to the next level. Not only are they dressing over 4,000 staff and ball kids in sleek, moisture-wicking gear that can handle the Australian summer heat, but they’re also adding a stylish twist to the preppy uniforms: sunglasses.

This marks the brand’s fifth consecutive year outfitting the tournament, and it’s clear that Ralph Lauren’s commitment goes beyond just looking good — it’s about performance, sustainability, and heritage. The ball kids’ polos are made from recycled plastic bottles, proving that you can be equally eco-friendly and fashionable. Plus, the iconic Ralph Lauren Australian Open collection, including polo shirts and jackets, will be available for fans to snag online and on-site, starting November 2024.

In addition to the uniforms, Ralph Lauren is launching a series of commemorative towels just in time for AO25 (and the peak of summer). These special edition towels will be available for eager fans to get their hands on at the Ralph Lauren website, starting October 2024.

The cherry on top? Ralph Lauren’s “Create-Your-Own” customisation program will be back in Melbourne for the occasion, allowing fans to personalise their favourite pieces with tennis-inspired motifs and initials. And if you can’t make it to Melbourne, no worries — you can customise your gear online, too.

Ralph Lauren, as always, aces it at the Australian Open — blending timeless style with sustainability and a hint of glamour, both on and off the court. Bring on 2025!
