How Fancy is Ralph Lauren?

<p>How fancy do you consider Ralph Lauren to be?</p>

<p>there's lots of different lines by ralph. does it have a purple label? if yes, then it is hella expensive, lol. ralph does sweats that are casual and dress clothes that are dressy, but most of it is expensive. i guess it all depends by what you mean when you say fancy dude.</p>

<p>.....................</p>

<p>Voiceofreason is right about the different labels and things. RL make golf gear, evening clothes, polos, rugby jerseys etc. all in different labels. I like the Polos, but thats only because they are so easy, and i could do just as well with a polo from a chain store (target etc) but i havent...hmm. Anyway, some of the stuff is VERY fancy in my opinion but some clothes arnt as fancy i. Overall it is just a very prestigeous brand that has a reputation for lovely clothes (i think).
HTH:)</p>

<p>is this another "am I preppy" thread?</p>

<p>lol u would have to define fancy... Ralph Lauren is definately preppy... classic polos... it's in the same line as Lacoste and brands like that... purple label is definately in my defination of fancy...</p>

<p>I don't think of Ralph Lauren as that fancy...at least I can afford Ralph Lauren...</p>

<p>But it's preppy, like J.Crew</p>

<p>ralph lauren isn't too fancy, its upper casual id say</p>

<p>its not cheap but its not crazy expensive</p>

<p>what i consider fancy is: vera wang, chanel, minolo, prada, etc....u get my drift</p>

<p>you have obviously never looked at the purple label stuff. thousands of $'s for one item and very dressy.</p>

<p>I went to Rodeo Drive and the Ralph Lauren there was very ritzy but the clothing style wasn't really my taste. It's got quite the 'preppy' flare. Depending on what you buy a piece of clothing from RL can range from $50 - $1000.</p>

<p>I've only heard of the Black Label and Blue Label though.</p>

<p>Fancy is also a matter of opinion. To many, a Burberry scarf is EVERYTHING but in England, Burberry is VERY middle-class.</p>

<p>The RL look is classy and clean. And, yes, it is a little "preppy."</p>

<p>voice...trust me i have, i live 5 min away from rodeo drive so ive seen it all</p>

<p>thnx</p>

<p>Can someone PLEASE tell me what the Purple Label is?</p>

<p>To my knowledge/empirical evidence, I've seen only BLACK and BLUE.</p>

<p>Same, about the black and blue thing...</p>

<p>I know black label is expensive and fancy.</p>

<p>But that depends if you're comparing it to other typical designer RTWs or 17k+ "demi-couture"</p>

<p>The symbol of a guy playing polo on that horse is about 90% of the cost in Ralph Lauren Polos.</p>

<p>Yet I still buy them.</p>
