We visited Ralph Lauren's soon-to-close flagship Polo store and saw why the brand is struggling

I ain't gonna front they have gotten too expensive and lack originality these days but their quality


What's RRL?

I like the Ice Cream varsity and the play cloths.


What they do to the tag?

I can't believe cats is talking about H&M and Express polo shirts, like them joints is gonna last more than 3 washes.

Still trying to figure out how Express became the go-to store for Hispanics.

Look in the Express store at any given time, and it'll be 80-90 % Hispanic in there. .. Express gon eat for a minute off them.

Never heard of RRL but thanks for putting me on.

I heard of Denim and Supply, the purple label stuff they have and and I think RLX. So this is a new one to me lol.

Millennials are not dropping big bucks for material items. Instead, they rather drop big bucks on experiences/atmosphere.

Millennials don't care about being preppy, high class.

Millennials have a stronger preference for online shopping and unique, weird shops.

Millennials aren't as labeled obsessed either.

People forget that millennials came of age in a post 2008 recession world. It had a huge affect on them culturally, socially, and economically. Now, we are seeing the consequences of such affects.

Wait, Polo make a shirt with three horese....NO.

I need that I'll pay 300 for that shyt off top. I wanted the dual match before but now I want the three horse one.

Holy shyt

 

[FlyRy]

the polos were like $60 10 years ago and now they're close to $90.

RRL had some nice pieces, but the creativity is not there. Their high priced coats pretty much jack Moncler designs along with jacking Barbour jackets designs. They need some new blood on the design side.

i was just thinking about that comparison, i remember me and my dad walked into a flagship store in DC when i was in high school, an employee walked up to us and said "we have a $100 deal on all lacoste polo's"

me and my pops looked at each other like

Huge ass logos are tacky and try-hard. I've been off that.

Yeah once I turned 30 I stopped wearing shirts with big ass logos on them. Polo wants an arm & leg for you to buy their clothes. I'm good on that.
