If the Ralph Lauren SS16 collection were to be described in a few words, it would be marine chique. The very American red, white, and blue fit in well with the theme. It felt like it took place at the seaside. The entire runway’s color was white, this accentuated the vibrant colors of the looks perfectly. The geometric prints and different sizes of stripes also made it very clear that the inspiration for the show had to do with the marine. 48 looks walked on the runway and all of them were perfectly in theme in their own way. This collection is one of Ralph Lauren’s most literal collections, but it surely isn’t something to be mad about.
