Ralph Lauren garments are designed to last—but like any quality piece, they require a minimum amount of attention. Whether it is a classic polo, an oxford shirt, or a merino wool sweater, every material has its requirements.
Here are our care tips, simple but effective, to keep your Ralph Lauren clothes looking like new.
👕 1. Care for Ralph Lauren polos
Polos are the symbol of the brand. Here is how to preserve them:
✅ Do:
-
Wash inside out to protect the color and logo
-
Maximum temperature: 30°C
-
Use a gentle cycle (delicate or cotton)
-
Air dry flat or on a hanger
❌ Don't:
-
Tumble dry (risk of shrinkage)
-
Bleach (alters colors)
-
Iron directly over the logo
💡 Tip: add a little white vinegar to the rinse to set the colors.
👔 2. Shirts and formal wear
For your Ralph Lauren Oxford shirts, chino pants, or blazers:
✅ Recommendations:
-
Wash at 30°C or dry clean according to the label
-
Gentle ironing (medium heat), avoiding embroidered areas
-
Use demineralized water for ironing if possible
🎯 Tip: hang your shirts immediately after washing to avoid wrinkles.
🧶 3. Wool, cashmere, or merino sweaters
These noble materials require more care:
✅ What to do:
-
Wash by hand or cold (wool program)
-
Use a special wool or gentle detergent
-
Dry flat on a towel (not on a hanger)
❌ What to avoid:
-
Standard washing machine without a wool program
-
Aggressive spinning
-
Tumble drying (this felts the wool)
💡 Tip: fold your sweaters instead of hanging them to preserve their shape.
👖 4. Jeans and pants
Ralph Lauren jeans keep their look if washed moderately.
✅ Care tip:
-
Wash inside out at 30°C maximum
-
Don't wash too often (prefer washing every 5 to 10 wears)
-
Air dry only
🧼 You can use a fabric spray to refresh between washes.
🧥 5. Coats, puffer jackets, and parkas
For technical or down-filled pieces:
-
Check if dry cleaning is recommended
-
If machine washable: cold water, mild detergent, tennis balls in the drum to fluff the down
-
Dry flat or tumble dry on low heat
📌 Always read the interior label before washing.
♻️ 6. General tips for preserving your Ralph Lauren clothing
-
Avoid wearing the same clothes for several days in a row to let the fiber breathe
-
Store in a dry and ventilated place
-
Do not hang heavy sweaters or jackets on thin hangers
-
Wash colors separately (especially for polos)
