Although it takes its name from England's most famous academic institution, the oxford shirt has its origins on the backs of early British polo players, who wore shirts made from oxford cloth on the field and used pins to keep their collars in place during rigorous play. Over time, pins were replaced by buttons, and the oxford shirt became a staple of casual, prep-influenced style, and a signature element of the iconic Polo Ralph Lauren aesthetic.

Caring for your cotton
Did you know that cotton clothes actually can be washed, dried and heated several times without any notable marks? But instead of bleaching it, you can easily use lemon juice for stains and vinegar for bad smell. This both benefits your clothes and the environment.
