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. The brand has been a pillar of chic style for decades and still is.
Even in the brand's recent fall 2025 show, the aesthetic endured: single-breasted coats, knee-high boots, faux fur. Scrolling through its website, I found so much, including cashmere, outerwear, and a range of bags. If you're looking for elevated basics that will last, it's definitely a brand to shop. Highlights include the Wilmer Reversible Shearling Coat, Cashmere High V-Neck Sweater, Oversize Reversible Shearling Wrap Coat, and Iconic Relaxed Fit Oxford Shirt.
Below, shop the pieces that prove it—from cable-knit sweaters to polo shirts to wear for years to come.
