The authentic and timeless world of Ralph Lauren

February 2026

RL/Women

Pattern Is the Play

This spring, take a nuanced approach to prints and patterns, using them as signals for a seasonal transition.

Let’s start with a disclaimer: Wearing patterns and prints can make you feel downright intimidated. Don’t be! In terms of personal style, there’s nothing quite like it. From the Polo perspective, prints and patterns not only have built-in personality; they’re also the special ingredient that makes all those great foundational pieces take on endlessly new and exciting possibilities.

Nº 1

Block Print

The handcraft heritage of traditional block prints is special, as this silk top in a floral print with looped buttons and an open placket makes abundantly clear. Wrap a gauzy scarf with contrasting stripes as a sash at the waist to create that just-thrown-on perfection that’s pure Polo.

Nº 2

Untrad Plaid

Checks aren’t just for cold weather—ask Ralph, who has been reimagining lightweight, pastel versions since the very beginning. This season, that go-against-type spirit comes out in a dress with tropical intrigue that’s sandals ready.

Pattern on Pattern

Ralph has a special knack for combining delicate prints with ease. The lesson here is as old as Annie Hall, but it also captures the moment: A striped shirt subtle enough to read as neutral allows a polka-dot silk scarf (a Ralph fave) to stand out as a style statement, along with the flair of a wide-leg pant paired with square-toed flats.
