The renowned brand Ralph Lauren is older than our generation and our parent’s generation. One great thing about the brand is that, it caters to everyone; from polo shirts for everyday wear to red carpet gowns or a little black dress for that special date night and of course accessories for everyday wear. As teenagers, based on our financial stature, a decent Ralph Lauren outfit would probably cover tuition fees for a few years, so all we really can do, is look on from our television or PC screens and admire the celebrities wearing them. However, as young fashionistas, we never cease to try making what’s deemed as old, tailored enough to suit our personal desires. Ralph Lauren is an old brand but here is a recap of three best Ralph Lauren looks and how we can tailor them, to suit our personal style.

Regal Cape gowns

You might have seen Lupita Nyongo rock a perfect example of this on the red carpet quite recently but if you haven’t, Lord knows, the gown is stunning! Critics have been saying it is definitely in the box of Ralph Lauren’s best.

This gown can easily be altered to suit you. Minimizing the length of the dress and extracting the lengthy cape, leaves you with a simple off shoulder cocktail dress. Not necessarily everyday wear but it would suffice for that night out partying or even a dinner with your special friend.

Criss-crossed dresses

Some of the most famous Ralph Lauren looks has a criss-cross either at the back or the front. Most of these gowns are red carpet and run way wear, however, for our style, there is nothing that a little clip and stitch cannot do. A criss-crossed dress can easily be transformed into a crop top. All that needs to be done is to cut the body of the dress then tailor the top to suit your style.

Halter dresses

This is also quite common pick for most on the red carpet. Celebrities such as Chrissy Teigen, Emma Watson and Sofia Vergara were spotted in Ralph Lauren halter dresses at several award shows. A halter dress for you can easily be transformed into a jump suit. Jump suits, depending on the fabric can be anything you want, whether casual elegant or semi formal.

There are of course many other great looks from Ralph Lauren that can be tailored to fit your personal style, but these are just a few. Try them if you can, in celebration of Ralph Lauren’s birthday.
