The season of Ralph’s Hamptons carries on with tailoring that’s vivid. Ralph Lauren Purple Label draws from its sun-drenched east coast mythos, where formal wear bends toward color and texture.
Ralph Lauren Purple Label Spring/Summer 2025
A two-piece linen suit in a punchy poppy shade makes its entrance through the Hadley jacket, styled against a navy crew neck and framed by a paisley neckerchief. Tailoring relaxes its hold, while skimming the body in a studied ease.
There’s a through line of confidence from look to look, as if the Ralph Lauren man already knows where the party is and what hour it starts. It’s here that Purple Label’s formal sensibilities take cues from Cannes, but executed in silk and twill.
The Kent dinner jacket surfaces in a light sky blue, paired with pleated navy trousers and a bow tie that lands somewhere between 1950s Riviera and a modern wedding in Montauk.
Juhyung Kang offers contrast in a navy peak lapel double-breasted jacket finished with gold buttons and yellow wool trousers, a color pairing that nods to old-school nautical codes.
Espadrilles and velvet slippers complete the looks. They’re modest decisions, but they hold the narrative together, reflecting a season of gentlemen in pursuit of pleasure.
As the palette stretches further, Ralph Lauren turns to pattern. Indian choppa silk gives the Kent jacket a striking paisley finish, mirrored in matching trousers worn by Lucky Blue Smith.
For balance, a Glen check double-breasted jacket offers a traditional note, sharpened by fine lapel work and strong shoulders. The tailoring is consistent, but the tone varies.
It’s somewhere between a beach wedding, a garden party, and an open-air evening in East Hampton, all imagined through Ralph Lauren’s lens.
