Ralph Lauren's Autumn Winter 2024–2025 collection is just another example of his timeless inventiveness and skill as a designer. Almost fifty-six years after releasing his debut collection, Ralph Lauren demonstrates that he is still very much in the driver's seat by beginning every collection with a careful examination of materials on a large scale. A fitting tribute to his lasting influence, the Autumn Winter 2024–2025 lookbook presents an alluring fusion of executive elegance and equestrian inspiration.

The Art of Fabric Curation: Lauren, a seasoned designer, approaches his collections with a level of workmanship that is akin to ordering a custom suit. He starts by setting out samples and carefully analysing the weights, textures, and hues of garments intended for outerwear, sports jackets, and suits. Knitwear, shirts, ties, casual trousers, shoes and other components are all painstakingly crafted, all coming together to create a detailed picture from which the ensembles are painstakingly put together.

With this collection we witness a reversion to Ranch Styles Lauren's Fall Winter 2024–2025 collection transports us back to the ranch, bucking the current trend of monochromatic jewel-colored suits. The core pieces are horse blanket-inspired tweeds and wools. 

The collection's harmonious integration of Euro-equestrian houndstooths, glen plaids, and rural corduroy is evidence of Lauren's skill in bringing seemingly unrelated pieces together. A fringed suede jacket defies colour conventions and displays the designer's skill in designing when worn with a black polo-neck sweater, black jeans, and a tough western belt.

Equestrianism Meets Executive Authority: While equestrian inspirations create the tone, the collection transcends beyond its roots. Perfect chairman-level executive suits that are designed to handle the highs and lows of the stock market highlight Lauren's vision's adaptability. A nod to history is provided by a green velvet recreation of a 1940s paratrooper smock that's been converted into an easygoing cross between an evening gown and a smoking jacket. As part of a new partnership, eveningwear takes on a ceremonious tone with gold buttons and black watch tartan, smartly paired with a Yankees baseball cap.
