One could say that the Ralph Lauren show had it all: a picturesque horse stables location in the Hamptons, a bevy of celebrity attendees, supermodels (as in Naomi Campbell and Christy Turlington) and cute little kids on the runway, a full-on replica of Manhattan’s famed The Polo Bar restaurant, and a S/S 25 collection packed with trends (and anti-trends, which we’ll get to later).
For context, Ralph Lauren kicked off S/S 25 NYFW by transporting (literally) the fashion crowd to Bridgehampton to embrace all things Americana with its new collection. In keeping with Ralph Lauren’s signature aesthetic, the collection was very much preppy, yet with a strong boho twist this time. But what stood out to me were the anti-trend trends that Ralph Lauren is endorsing for 2025, as those will have the most longevity in a wardrobe. So without further ado, keep scrolling to see which celebs trekked to the Hamptons as well as the standout anti-trends from the runway. And last but not least, shop classic Polo Ralph Lauren pieces for your own collection.

Fitted Turtlenecks
Fitted turtlenecks are as versatile as it gets. (and bonus points for ones with the Polo horse motif).

Double-Breasted Blazers
The runway contained many classic double-breasted blazers, so my advice is to not part with the ones you already own.
