How to Re-create The Ralph Lauren Look on A Budget

[@christiana_mandalynn]

I adore the Ralph Lauren look. I remember being a youngster in the 90s and seeing some ads (the British countryside/equestrian look) and I knew that was what I wanted to dress like when I grew up. Now many years later as a mom and after trying other things, I am once again remembering my love for these classic, conservative looks. Thank you for showing how to get the style but on a budget! I have a brown RL cable knit sweater that I thrifted years ago but I never thought to style it with some of my lovely maxi skirts. Now I will try it!

[@connienunez9924]

Love Ralph Lauren--never out of style !

As a woman aged 40, growing old scared me, once upon a time men would look at with desire in their eyes........now I'm invisible, but you are teaching me I may be growing older but I can still look elegant and well put together and you use older woman as models too, thankyou for teaching us ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@erinneill9350]

I still get positive comments from young men and I'm 74! Makes me laugh, but it is nice to be told by several that you're "cute" or "you're still good looking" etc despite the white hair. I don't look 74, but I don't look 40 either! Lol.

[@edennis8578]

I got married at 42, to a man 7 years younger than I was. We're still married 27 years later. I find that men who are 40+ are generally looking for women who are 15 years younger than they are; they want an ego boost. Younger men don't need an ego boost. I've known lots of younger men who married middle aged women - with children, too. We aren't talking about women with money, either.

Dear 40 year old Don't worry about your age. Be self-confident, take good care of your skin & health, smile, laugh, and enjoy your friends. The right type of guys will be super attracted to you. I'm almost 70 & I still get a second look with a big smile❤

[@StuartGough-r4p]

Thankyou so much for the positive, I regret my first comment sounded negative regarding ageing in a woman, but I'm back more positive....... growing older is a privilege guys, I may be 40, but this lovely youtuber is helping me look good, maybe real beauty is timeless and ageless I may be 40, but I have good health, family children and a husband who loves me, and I love him even more, I was simply remonisy about my 20s. But I'm gonna rock my 40s now, simply beauty timeless classics for any age is my mindset, thankful for all the positive comments, I'm 40 years old but I still feel 28 yr old.❤❤❤❤❤❤ stay blessed guys and thankyou ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Ralph Lauren is one of America's finest designers that keep the classic preppy look alive with their Polo collection. Although I love their higher end styles that you see on the runway, my clothing budget may provide a few opportunities to purchase their Polo collection. This was a valuable presentation on how we can use what we have in our wardrobes to create the Polo aesthetic. I visited their flagship store on Madison Ave. in NYC and it is an absolutely beautiful experience. Thank you for your lovely outfits.

[@cynthiajohnston424]

As a boomer , I was " preppy " before RL did his first full women's clothing line in 1972 & later , LB's " Preppy Handbook " pub. 1980 ! 😅 The style has always been classic - think Katharine Hepburn's take on the menswear look decades earlier . RL blended the US east coast " old money " w/ the Brit. " country / landed gentry / horsey set " styles & later added US western for variation . Also , it goes fr. feminine to masculine or a lovely blend of both . All in all , a very relaxed , easy to interpret & duplicate & comfortable to wear . And , don't forget to always wear your pearls - better yet if they're a family heirloom ! 🤗

[@mmcs4973]

Me too! I'm Irish and when RL first came out in the 70s it was pretty much what we had worn as teens and early 20s in London. Quality and style doesn't really change too much just some accessories and the way clothes are worn. Good stuff Gemma😊

[@newnana9070]

My then 12-13 yr old daughter used to wear the preppy style on Fridays when uniforms weren’t worn to school. That style has dropped down to her daughter on the same non uniform days🥰

[@HaloReachMaster11]

[@chibacat1234]

You're so stylish! My favourite look might have been the one at 7:39!

[@elizabethpetrie2732]

My two favourite designers are Ralph Lauren and Oscar de la Renta. Their designs flatter women instead of making them (us!) look almost freakish. Understated elegance, classic cuts and colours, rarely “trendy” but always “right.” RL pieces, whether Polo or Chaps (or their more budget-friendly alternatives) are a great example of how to build a classic capsule wardrobe.

[@americafirst9144]

I used to buy Oscar de la Renta nightgowns. Absolutely loved them?

[@joanmatchett8100]

Ralph Lauren, my favourite designer. Sadly , l don't have the money to buy all Lauren for my wardrobe. This is a great video to show how it can be done on a budget.

💐Gemma: Well done RL overview👍. Always such a ✨️classic, timeless, & elegant✨️ aesthetic. 💯% indulged in preppy style during my corporate days, now I need to add Contrast to dial down the formality of those suits/separates. 🤔Trend led or not, I'm kinda loving the khaki beige ✂️ cropped trench. Have a sexy black Burberry of London duster trench that I adore❤, but it's such a heavy weight even w/o the thick liner😰. It's perfect for 50°F, but as soon as the mercury rises🌡in LA😎 it gets put away until min. late Fall/Winter. 🛒On my 2nd hand radar is the 🪖army green field jacket. And, also now on the look out👁👁 for the full range of tan accessories (belts, bags, shoes, & riding boots). Like the properties of nude shoes to lengthen the vertical line↕️, but they tend to strike me MORE as frumpy👵dumpy. Prefer to wear all my button up shirts as a light shacket (or knotted open). ⏳️As a curvy (not obese) hourglass, buttoning & tucking is always a nightmare😱. 😘Do like the bold red cardi over the blue striped shirt. Enjoy that subtle collar, cuff, & tail "pop". On the hunt for a red sweater vest instead〰️need a way to tone down the stripes. The grey jogger set w/the striped shirt is sporty 💫perfection💫 in my book. Sadly, the handsome herringbone pieces are a No Go for my climate😂. 🤓Watched two other stylists saying cable knits are OUT. Such a beautiful knit is NEVER out of fashion. 🥰Loved the highly feminine trio pictured here w/varying lengths of skirts. Only own one cropped lightweight cashmere jumper though. It's purple to go w/my purple pencil skirt and also a fabulous floaty black/purple/orange/green floral skirt. 😁Prefer skirts over trousers once the Sun🌞 starts to roast us🥵. 💚Bridget from Cali☘️ (using my pal's YT acct)

It is an easy style to create vintage...you will find blazer at $50 and under vintage. I have bought them over 2 decades. If I like it, I buy it ,even if totally of style ....mostly Im looking for the fabric such as quality suedes and velvets. These are my favorites. The style always comes back around and I never donate these blazers. NEVER, because they always look great once back in style.
