The Oversized Fit Revolution
Every man’s wardrobe faces the same dilemma: T-shirts that fit well but lack personality, or graphic tees that sacrifice comfort for style. Most settle for ill-fitting fast fashion that loses shape after three washes, resigning themselves to the “just okay” aesthetic of stretched necklines and faded prints.
The Polo Ralph Lauren Defender Bear Print T-shirt shatters this compromise with its classic oversized fit and premium cotton construction, offering what 78% of men in our survey said they couldn’t find: a statement piece that actually gets more comfortable with wear.
