Every season, we look forward to the Ralph Lauren show. Known for its classic American luxury style and preppy aesthetic, we go into Ralph Lauren anticipating classic RL tailoring, beautiful gowns, and a cardigan or two.
But, in recent years, the Ralph Lauren aesthetic has evolved. While the classic prep that the brand is best known for remains, we've also been getting hints of '90s nostalgia, glitz, and more nuanced pieces that mark a new chapter for the heritage brand.
For the Spring/Summer 2027 collection, Ralph Lauren put personal style center stage—and encouraged us all to create that for ourselves, one way or another. "[The] collection upends traditional notions of chic," the show notes read.
A traditional idea of femininity was challenged with slightly low-slung, voluminous pants at the forefront of the collection. Oversized silhouettes, nipped suit jackets and perfectly tailored proportions co-existed on the runway, making a strong case for modern womenswear—and giving insight into the future of the house, as well.
This season, we got everything that we expected, plus some unexpected faux fur moments, ruffled collars galore, and countless statement earrings . Plus, we've taken notes on the styling from the runway—you'd be remiss not to include them in your own styling rotation.
Ahead, 3 styling tips that we're stealing straight from Ralph Lauren's Spring/Summer 2027 runway—and that you should, too.
Okay, I'll say it: the scarf is the most versatile accessory—and Ralph Lauren's Spring/Summer 2027 runway served as a prime example of that. While scarves can be worn around the neck and on the head, they can (and should!) also be worn around the waist as a belt.
Whether they are cinching in a garment and creating dimension or having no actual function at all aside from style, scarves as of all styles are belts, too.
One thing that team Coveteur keeps an eye on throughout fashion month is the fun color combinations on runways that encourage us to have more fun and be more creative with our personal style. On the Spring/Summer 2027 runway, Ralph Lauren's affinity for the gold and blue pairing was hard to miss. Gold skirts were paired with blue blazers, gold tops with blue pants, and more to create looks that felt quintessentially spring.
This is the thing about brooches: they're more versatile than you think. While I too was once of the mindset that the brooch is a fancy, dressed-up accessory meant to be reserved for special occasions, my perspective has recently changed—and this notion was on display on Ralph Lauren's Spring/Summer 2027 runway. While dramatic floral brooches were paired with suiting and waistcoats, they were also paired with netted sweaters.
