Ralph Lauren reissued pieces from the collection, including Raekwon’s jacket, in early 2018, timed to its twenty-fifth anniversary. In honor of the company’s fiftieth anniversary, we look back at some of the most seminal Ralph Lauren moments from the past decades—from the launch of the Polo polo dress shirts shirt to that awkward elevator ride with Rachel Green. Through his various labels, existing and defunct , Lauren tapped into various parts of the American experience, from high-end suiting to modestly priced workwear. His designs were worn by First Ladies and kids in Brooklyn alike.
The straight, roomy silhouette is slightly tomboyish, but not oversized. The shirt is made entirely of cotton and is machine washable. Care for Ralph Lauren clothing largely depends on the material that a particular garment is made from. Leggings and other clothing made from polyester, elastane, or cotton can be gently machine washed with cool water. Garments made from cashmere or wool should be dry cleaned or hand washed and hung to dry.
The described functionality and the thoughts behind the clothes (multi-purpose of the clothes; hidden pockets; etc.) are unmatched – I think even compared to the more function-oriented menswear. The fact they can and do this is surely also why fast fashion brands like H&M and Zara are so successful, since the closet is ever changing. She couldn’t find a coat she liked so I tried to convince her to go mtm or bespoke for a really great one. Something she said she’d never to as she grows tired of the coats after one or two seasons. That goes back to the ’60’s hippy movement long before Ralph. See Jim Morrison of the Doors in leather trousers and belt w/South Western silver adornment in the mid ’60’s.

The designer has continued to have a presence in entertainment over the years. He’s outfitted some particularly notable characters on television. For example, on Gossip Girl, Blake Lively’s Serena van der Woodsen wore a Ralph Lauren gown to her mother Lily’s wedding to Bart Bass in the first season. Kerry Washington’s Olivia Pope was partial to the brand too—its coats in particular—on Scandal.
There is a shortage of men who want to dress as American Indians. Fashion looks will always be contrived – or in their words, aspirational. Also, on colour, just to point out – there is no lack of it in Ivy or Preppy traditions in the US, or country attire in the UK. Red trousers, yellow socks, pink shirts and green ties. On the question of ‘surprise’ combinations I’ve recently been surprised by some serendipitous pairings I’ve come across when packing to go on holiday.
Suede can be dry brushed to get rid of spot stains, and then hand washed or dry cleaned. The Cable Wool Cashmere Sweater Polo Ralph Lauren t shirt – This is a soft, warm piece for autumn and winter. The cable knit pattern is available in grey, oatmeal, and ivory.
You put the items out, having a good idea of what you propose to wear with what, but then as part of the packing process you see together items you’d never have thought of combining, et voila! Of course you don’t (and can’t, currently) have to be going on holiday to get stuff out and try new combinations. I’m still not convinced Ralph’s signature look of tuxedo with blue jeans really works. First is that it helps if the pieces are ‘stand-alone classics’.
