Candy Colored Menswear

Ralph Lauren Purple, Polo & Black Label Returns to the Classics

Recently Ralph Lauren previewed his Purple, Black and Polo labels for Spring/Summer 2010.

In these collections the message was clear, with a return to classic men’s formal wear done in a put together and matching way. The men featured in the Ralph Lauren Purple, Black and Polo labels for Spring/Summer 2010 wore tailored jackets, ties, and fitted trousers in pinks, greens and yellows.

Ladies had better pull themselves together for Spring/Summer 2010, or they’ll be outdressed by the men!
