Rustic, athletic, preppy: What's your style?
MANILA, Philippines - Ralph Lauren focuses on rustic, athletic and preppy styles this season and infuses each with a heightened sense of luxury. From the sophisticated polo player, to the Olympic athlete, to the rugged outdoorsman, each look captures the heritage of Polo.
The conventional meets the conversational in RL Polo Club collection, where the dignified spirit of the modern equestrian can be felt throughout. Crisp, clean silhouettes get a fresh new twist in a bright color palette. A green linen trouser plays off an orange cashmere cable knit sweater, and a navy quilted vest adorned with an equestrian crest. A faded jean hand-painted with an equestrian theme lends a downtown edge to a fair isle sweater, a chambray shirt with a white contrast collar, a navy tie and a classic cotton trench coat. A playful feel pervades when a slim-fitting cardigan is worn with a floral dress shirt, a novelty tie, and a pair of shorts.
The rugged beauty of the isolated lakes and high peak region of the Adirondacks serves as inspiration for the Evening Post collection. Eclectic prints give dimension to vintage washes and antique details. A belted, shawl collared Navajo print sweater adds an unexpected element to a preppy chambray shirt with a madras collar and combat shorts in a faded olive tone. A dusty madras print on a patchwork blazer and a matching vest is paired with military shorts and a navy club tie and a baseball cap.
The Olympic spirit is captured in the authentic athletic styles found in the All American collection. Vintage washes, luxurious fabrics and antique logos are exemplified in a vibrant palette of red, white and blue. White jean adorned with navy graphics adds a modern edge to an Olympiad red cardigan with a spread-collar shirt, a navy silk novelty tie and a navy and white grosgrain key ring belt. An authentic 1930s influence can be seen in a vintage varsity jacket paired with navy pinstriped wide leg trousers, a shirt with a rounded club collar, a navy, white and red silk repp tie and a jaunty white cotton newsboy hat.
