The line is known for its impeccable craftsmanship and is also no stranger to demanding an equally exorbitant price tag. When looking to make such an investment into your wardrobe, you’ll probably be wondering if the brand truly lives up to the hype. 01:26 The Basics of the Ralph Lauren Purple Label Ralph Lauren Purple Label is the highest end of Ralph Lauren’s different tiers of offerings and was launched in 1994. Today, most of the Purple Label Line is made in Italy or sometimes England. The extra attention to quality and detail makes the purple label line sell at even higher prices at retail than anything else Ralph Lauren offers. 04:43 The Ethos of the Purple Label Line Ralph Lauren Purple Label is heavily inspired by the English style of tailoring and is meant to be an “Americanized Savile Row”, with a twist. Purple Label clothing is usually marketed with a whimsical and exaggerated version of preppy, Old Money aesthetics. While it does have a more formal and traditional appeal, the company is making significantly more effort to appear fresh and innovative with younger crowds. 07:09 What To Buy: Suits & Jackets 09:49 Outerwear 11:06 Formal Evening Wear 12:40 Knitwear 13:28 Shoes 14:58 What Not To Buy: Swimwear 15:35 Pants 16:13 Neckwear 17:27 Polo Shirts 18:12 Dress Shirts 19:46 Leather Goods 20:29 Accessories When looking at the Purple Label brand as a whole, we can’t help but admire what they’ve been able to accomplish. It’s true that at retail pricing, it’s very expensive and out of reach for many. However, it can be a great option for those who have the change, and who want to visualize the entire look before they buy it. We think the value of the brand truly shines when you can acquire it second-hand. This takes the sting out of the full retail price while offering the exceptionally made styling and qualities that the brand can offer. 23:00 Outfit Rundown #ralphlauren #purplelabel #notsponsored
