Vintage Ralph Lauren Style: A Timeless Look I'm Loving

January 28, 2025

I'm really digging the fisherman look, but let me tell you about another style I absolutely adore that never goes out of style: vintage Ralph Lauren! Remember how I mentioned we styled our last Christmas card with this vibe? It's my favorite family photo ever!

There's just something so timeless about this classic Americana look. It's very similar to Moody Modern Traditional—my own personal design style. I love the equestrian touches in this aesthetic (we just hung our favorite horse art in Greta's room). And layers upon layers of plaids, stripes, tartans...it's prep school meets polo player with a dash of rustic elegance.

A leather chair is a great starting point to make this style your own, but don't forget to add in other textures like flannel, tweed, or cotton. And don't get me started on the color palette of the Ralph Lauren aesthetic. Deep greens, navy blues, chocolate browns, burgundy reds – I've got whole rooms dedicated to these colors in my house!

I rounded up some vintage-style things I have on my wishlist below. So. Many. Gems.

30 Faux Spring Stems I'm Eyeing for My Home

When everything outside is still brown, I love to switch over to spring stems indoors. The best part is that spring stems will last until September, when I switch over to fall stems! I always have some classic green hydrangeas in a vase this time of year. Right now, they're in an oversized vase in […]
