The authentic and timeless world of Ralph Lauren

Paint it White

“No white before Memorial Day” isn’t necessarily a rule we adhere to. But upon the holiday’s passing—and not long after, the start of Wimbledon—we feel a fresh enthusiasm for the monochrome dressing the maxim encourages. From tailoring to tennis whites to even workwear and beyond, we’ll be reviewing what present-season Polo offers in the white and off-white department, plus a few helpful tips on how to wear them best

Nº 1

TEXTURES AND TAILORING

A range of rich textures—in this case, a linen mesh Polo shirt, a combed-cotton cable-knit sweater, and a calf-suede buck—prevents this cream-colored suit from looking like a whiteout. A navy polka-dot silk pocket square adds a playful color pop.

TENNIS, ANYONE?

Whether mandated by a dress code or your own sartorial whims, “tennis whites” remains an iconic move in monochromatic styling. Available in a rich cream hue with forest-green accents, ours is just off-white enough to contrast lightly with a white button-down shirt and pleated shorts. Play into the look’s heritage with sporty accessories like a linen ball cap and cable-knit crew socks with accent stripes.

WHITE COLLAR

Reimagining workwear classics, like cotton-drill utility jackets or carpenter-style dungarees, in hues of white or cream blurs the traditional distinction between clothing worn for work and clothing worn for leisure—and in the process, allows them to be donned for either.

WHITE SANDS

From tennis courts to teak decks, all-white ensembles feel most natural in proximity to a body of water. Nowhere does this observation bear more fruit than in sight of the ocean, leaving footprints in the sand as the sun descends and a bohemian-feeling combination of drawstring canvas shorts, a sporty Johnny-collar Polo shirt, and a creamy cashmere cable knit remain to warm the wearer after dusk.
