Men's Clothing Designer Ralph Lauren

When Ralph Lauren came into the mainstream of fashion design, he was almost an instant success. He chose to begin his style of men's clothing with the tie. Until he began displaying his ties they had been very proper and staid, and with the introduction of his ties which he christened with the name Polo Ralph Lauren was on his way. He wanted to portray elegance and class as a way of life with his men's clothing. He chose unexpected colours and designs for his ties and they were instantly popular. As a maverick in the men's clothing arena he combined classic styles from America with the tailored European fashion. This was something that had not been tried for men's clothing. With his popularity gaining in the designer world he first placed his Polo collection in Bloomingdale's in New York City. Ralph Lauren is credited with putting western style clothing in mainstream America and beyond. A leader in men's clothing and branching into women's clothing later on has kept Ralph Lauren in the spotlight. He continues to be a designer that thinks of quality and timeless classic clothing.

Today's designs have taken Ralph Lauren beyond his ties as he has branched into all manner of men's clothing. He has the famous Polo shirts that give comfort and colours not previously seen in a men's clothing line. His sports shirts and dress shirts compliment the designs of his pants or chinos. Ralph Lauren is a clothing designer that has bridged the gap between the casual weekender and the boardroom executive.

This men's clothing designer never lost sight of his beginnings and still designs his first article, the tie. The bold colours and striped designs that became his first signature are alive and well. Ralph Lauren added to his accessories beyond the tie and now includes belts, pocket squares for your jacket and shoes. He hasn't forgotten the outdoors either as he has designs for sun glasses and outdoor winter clothing. You can find lambskin and cashmere hats, scarves and gloves in many colours and plaids.

Ralph Lauren launched into the men's fragrance line with names like Polo Black, Double Black and Safari. This was a new area for designers to explore and Ralph Lauren has proven that he can be successful in this area as well. You can purchase his men's fragrances separately or in gift sets.

This men's clothing designer has gone on to design a collection of leather and suede jackets and coats. The designer has even taken a cashmere sweater from one part of his collection and added the leather elbow patches. The Polo crest is on his shirt designs whether they are dress shirts or casual shirts like his well known Polo shirts. The colours are still bold and quietly soft with a rainbow in between. Ralph Lauren has proven that he is versatile and will design clothing that is destined to become a hit. Whether the man in your life works in the boardroom or is an avid outdoorsman Ralph Lauren has taken his men's clothing designs to him. The rugged individualism that he displays in his collection with the western clothing influence and his many other designs truly makes him a winner. He has won the Cody award more than once for his design excellence, and will continue to dominate the men's clothing world for years to come.
