There seems to be a huge divide in the mens fashion world between those advocating a hipster grunge look and those opposed to it (like the Rugby Ralph Lauren Spring 2010 collection) sticking to a cleaner, preppy style. I have to say I’m for both, even though they are two completely different styles.
Inspired by vintage sports, which seem more than appropriate, the Rugby Ralph Lauren Spring 2010 collection features “English cricket jackets, varsity striped sweaters, and a bevy of fleeces,” as SwipeLife observes. So ladies, would you like to see your men in these smart looks? Or are you for a more rugged appeal?
