@ECBG

@SoX had a thread on this awhile back and many of us loved the Ralph items.

California Dreaming - Ralph Lauren - Blogs & Forums (qvc.com)

In addition to following in love w/ so many of the cream and camel items, I fell in love w/ the music and added it to my playlists for when I run. I'm still not tired of those songs.

I love RL items and have many hanging in my closet. Classics that never go out of fashion.

Many thanks. I must have missed her post.

Do you have the entire play list please? Trying to find one.

Thanks.

Songs Featured:

"Gold (Remix)" by John Stewart

"Midnight Rider's Prayer" by Brothers Osborne

"California Dreamin'" by Sia

As always, spectacular, typical Ralph Lauren.

In this collection, I particularly like the black tailored suit, black sequin blazer, black/white stripe cardigan, red skirt, camel long double breasted coat, t-strap heels, and long chain necklace.

Sorry, but nothing positive to say. At least there was nothing outright ugly or garish. These items are not practical for everyday living and way out of my budget.

I personally don't like ankle pants or wide leg pants. I hope this doesn't mean pleated pants/bottoms are coming back! They are only attractive on those with a model figure, and that's not me.

Thanks for posting .... great show.

Loving all the black and white ... my favorite color combo.

Had to smile at the black hats ... I bought two last Fall ... haven't worn them yet. I've "lost" hats on windy city streets ... so I'm a bit cautious.

@Xivambala

It depends on where you live and what you do. Many of the pieces would work for my day-to-day activity.

I'm a fan of wide leg and pleated pants. I don't have a "model's figure" and they look great on me! Those are the only style pants I've been buying the past year.

These items, especially with the prices for silk and silk with wool blends, aren't intended to be leisure fashion.

@kate2357

MANY many thanks! The song I loved so much is Midnight Rider's Prayer. I couldn't have found it without your help!

@ALRATIBA Yes you are correct that it depends on where you live, what you do, and what your finances are.

I live in southeast Florida, am retired, and not wealthy. People should wear what they feel comfortable with and suits their lifestyle.

I have a problem when fashion phases dominate a time period and manufacturers/retailers flood the market with certain styles. Such can be said for clothing with raw edges, wide legs, holes, puddle pants, etc. It can be difficult to find 'ordinary' clothing for my lifestyle that is affordable. I do feel that larger body types do not look good in pleated pants however, and was expressing my hope that this fad does not become widespread.

We are all entitled to our opinions though.

Happy New Year @ECBG

@ECBG and others: Clothing designers and other businesses are clammering to stay afloat and need to find something/anything to draw in customers.

If there are any styles you like, they can always be found at lower price points (knockoffs) if we wait about 3 weeks. Just like after awards shows, the dresses and outfits are available soon after at a fraction of the price.

I doubt if anyone has a closet with only Ralph Lauren. It's just an offering or suggestion of new styles.

I have personally tried to dress up a little more during the week...at least several days. It feels more respectful of myself to make the effort and get out of gym clothes and the dredded lounge wear. It's amazing to realize that with no elastic waist pants, I may have added a pound or two.

@Shanus

Happy New Year! Hope you and the fam are doing well.

I for one would love to have a closet of RL!

Pleated pants aren't for me, but something else will be.

Thanks for that info, and please let us know where they can be purchased!
