Ralph Lauren’s summer 2025 collection took the runway with an all American feel and lots of nostalgia . This collection will be important because it competes with classic European brands, which Ralph Lauren has had trouble with in the past, and will add staples to your spring looks.
On September 2024 Ralph Lauren debuted their Spring 2025 collection at the equestrian center in the Hamptons, this resort is known to host New York’s most high- class and famous, featuring white picket fences and vintage cars. The models took the stage wearing Ralph Lauren Collection, Purple Label and Polo Ralph Lauren Lines. For the show, the models had to travel from New York City to the Hamptons, Long Island. The show was inspired by the designers summers in the 70s, which he spent in the Hamptons. The shows details incorporated many memories from the designers past.
The pieces in the show capture the old money New England feel and WWD referred to it as “Great Gatsby Glamour.” The pieces showcase that all American feel through a combination of casual beach days attire to high end formal clothing, as well as combing the two!
The models were seen wearing creme shades with pops of bold colors through accessories. Many of the models wore baseball caps featuring the brands logo, as well as the “New York Yankees” symbol really helping to incorporate the all American theme. They wore loafers, wedges and sperry’s . Many of the shoes were monogramed again, with symbols such as the yankees logo. Many of the shoes also were made of the Carmel leather that we will see throughout the show.
The brand mixed styles throughout looks where one model was seen wearing distressed jeans, with a suite top and again , the baseball cap and yankees monogramed shoes.
The brand dropped a piece that many fans are talking about. A model was scene holding a Carmel leather tote bag, the same Carmel leather that we’ve seen throughout the show in the shoes. Many versions of similar bags with a variety of different sizes and each having their own attention to detail. The tote is very versatile and can have many uses as well as being able to be dressed up or dressed down! Many are saying the pieces have “it bag potential”
Once again incorporating the All American theme some looks even had American flags on theme including this knit sweater with the flag across the front. The look also featured a blue and white jacket, a once again red and blue polo hat and more neutral colors for the pants and shoes which balances the look out nicely!
Lauren describes the Hamptons as “more than a place” he says its “It’s a natural world of endless blue skies, the ocean, green fields, and white fences, rusticity, and elegance with a quality of light that drew artists decades ago.” The show incorporates a variety of looks and diversity truly capturing that all American feel perfect for spring 2025.
