Similar to Tommy Hilfiger, Polo Ralph Lauren has a tendency to be lumped with the preppier of fashion designers. However, several big-time rappers and hip-hop icons have been known to sport Ralph Lauren every now and again. At the 2021 Met Gala, Chance the Rapper even wore a custom Ralph Lauren suit that is unlike anything that you would normally expect from the iconic brand.
