For the firts Fall delivery, Polo Ralph Lauren have channeled the modernity of downtown New York. Inspired by the imposibly cool, laid-back style of models off duty, Polo created a mix of high and low looks that combine an urban sensibility with refined, tailored dressing. Edgy, athletic-inspired pieces, such as tapered fleece pants and cool varsity jackets, mingle with crisp woven shirts and ladylike little black dresses. The predominantly neutral palette of greys, blacks and whites is punctuated with pops of colorin the form of bright cable-knit cashmere sweaters and preppy polo shirts. The men collection is isnpired by off-road SUVs, which offers an elevated take on rugged, adventurous style. Core colors include browns, black and deep olives, while the silhouettes take influence from motorcycle jackets and hunting gear. Oilcloth and leather outwear pieces are important, as are moto moto sweaters and utility pants made with resin-coated denim. The result is a weekend-ready style with a tough edge - an aesthetic that sits at the interesction of luxury and utility.
