"The Hamptons is more than a place. It's a natural world of endless blue skies, the ocean, green fields, and white fences, rusticity and elegance with a quality of light that drew artists here decades ago. It has been home, my refuge and always an inspiration," Ralph Lauren.

The Spring 2025 Ralph Lauren Collection and Purple Label lines embody the essence of coastal sophistication and a spirit of romantic simplicity drawing inspiration from the Hamptons' natural splendor. Iconic blazers, impeccably tailored suits, and refined menswear shirts are rendered in a palette of blue and white, echoing the pristine sandy shores, expansive cerulean skies, and the depths of the Atlantic Ocean that embrace Long Island's coastline. Classic Ralph Lauren silhouettes are updated with sensual draping to capture the eclectic romance and rugged elegance found in the beachside towns.
