For Autumn/Winter 2022, Ralph Lauren Polo emphasizes a homage to its “roots of distinctive details, tradition in textiles, and time-honored tailoring.” The collection is characterized by a strong British influence that permeates the American brand, showcasing tweeds and fabrics sourced from British mills. This season’s offerings are rich with nods to country life and sports, featuring classic elements such as mountains, rug, a stylish Land Rover, an elegant Aston Martin, and the quintessential British ritual of enjoying a steaming cup of tea—all encapsulating the heritage of the English country house.
The debut of the collection includes two videos highlighting the selections for both men and women, illustrating a seamless blend of Ralph Lauren’s signature style with elements iconic to British fashion. This season, the classic Shetland Tweed jacket, crafted from cloth & Sons, exemplifies the connection between the two cultures and their historical ties to tailoring.
Ralph Lauren has often acknowledged the significant influence of British style on his design aesthetics. In a 2014 interview with Esquire, he stated, “England has always inspired my style and designs, and my respect for things that have a quality the more they are worn. The British have a true appreciation for heritage and tradition.” This respect is evident in the Autumn/Winter collection, which marries modern sensibilities with vintage inspirations drawn from British menswear.
The convergence of American and British fashion styles in Ralph Lauren’s collections highlights an enduring admiration for classic tailoring and craftsmanship. As such, the brand stands as a testament to the influence of British fashion beyond its own borders, fostering a dialogue between cultures that continues to evolve.
For those intrigued legacies of these style traditions, Ralph Lauren’s latest offerings exemplify a refined and sophisticated approach to dressing that resonates with both American and British charm.
