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

A few things I've learned from the Coli in the past year.

Millennials don't get money or p*ssy, and are perfectly fine with it.

They also live at home with their parents into their mid to late 20s with no shame. And nobody judges them for it.

Weird times. Atleast yall are honest about who you are.

:manny:

I'll be interested to see how the next generation evolves.

Purple label or RRL shyt with no big logos. Only shyt that nikkaz won't even really know is Ralph. I'm not a kid anymore.


But when I was it was all Polo tees, hats, Sportsman, P -wings, Suicide Ski etc. Sold a lot of it for a nice profit considering some of that gear was 20 plus years old.

RL will never fall off in terms of quality of clothing and classic appeal, everything comes in cycles but a lot of these dudes gonna be looking like clowns in their photos 15-20 years from now rocking some Givenchy garbage bags :mjlol:Looking like they got into a fight with a painter.

Lol at using that excuse now. Somebody of these clothes in those other stores are mad expensive too and it don't look as good as Polo. Maybe Polo is just not hitting right now like it was.. Thars what happens with fashion, it goes in cycles.

fukk all y'all. RL makes quality clothes. I have some shirts that i've owned for years and they still look fresh. H&M clothes turn to shyt after a few washes and Express dress shirts wrinkle too easily. All you nikkas dissing RL know you can't go wrong with their v-necks. Most of my closet is RL or Tommy:yeshrug:
Express does have the WOAT button ups.. maybe worst that Old Navy
