Whenever a new season starts, I like to revisit visual reference points for outfit formulas and styling ideas that help me rethink wardrobe staples. Recently, I was looking through Ralph Lauren runway shows from the ’90s—a blueprint when it comes to timeless dressing.
Even in the most recent Fall 2025 show, the same aesthetic endures: single-breasted coats, knee-high boots, faux fur. Scrolling through their website just now, I found so much: cashmere, outerwear, and a range of bags. If you're looking for elevated basics that will last, it's definitely a brand to shop. Highlight include the Wilmer Reversible Shearling Coat, Cashmere High V-Neck Sweater, Oversize Reversible Shearling Wrap Coat, and The Iconic Relaxed Fit Oxford Shirt. It made me realize how the namesake brand has been a pillar of chic style for decades, and still is.
Below, shop the pieces that prove it—from cable-knit sweaters to polo shirts to wear for years to come.
