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

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

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.

:wow:

Ever notice how all their (Express) colors are somehow shinier than other stores? That's my only explanation... Latins tend to gravitate towards shiny, tight clothing.

The amount of blasphemy in this thread. Scust.

Polo has timeless styles for grown azz nikkaz who want quality. I got Polo that I've had for years still going strong. Got sh1t from when I was a kid that's still ill. Problem with H&M and all these other discount brands is the fits are crap and ghe quality is sh1t. H&M, Zara, Express is not lasting 5 years. It's all disposable crap. If that's what millenials are looking for then fukk em. More for me. I'll be hitting up the outlet when I get a chance.

One thing I will agree on is pricing in this economy is high. It's either high end or low end. Folk aint paying money for mid tier sh1t. Which is why you'll see RL, Gap, etc struggling.

How's Hilfigger doing btw?

It really comes down to the stores polo is sold in not being popular anymore.
The brand is classic but not in places that people shop.

not all of it by any means... gotta be another reason man.

A lot of it is shinier. Go look at the colors in Express vs Banana Republic.
Latinos are more likely to wear shyt like this
