Recreating an iconic fashion lookfrom @crust_young

[01]

Overview

The creator introduces a favorite photo of Ralph Lauren and announces his intention to recreate the layered outfit. He breaks down the look piece by piece, starting with the base layer (a thermal Henley), then the pants (dark indigo selvedge denim), and the belt (a Double RL western belt). He discusses options for the middle layer (a blue button-down shirt), explaining his choice and detailing how Ralph Lauren tucked in the shirts. He adds the final layer (a green Polo Country shirt), completes the outfit with boots, a hat, and accessories, and finally shows off the completed look while reflecting on the timelessness of the style.

Transcript

Is one of my favorite looks from Ralph Lauren, so let's recreate it. Double button down shirt, why not throw it all on, but we're gonna start with the base layer and for that I'm using this thermal henley from Uniqlo. Best, I'm gonna move on to my pants. Ralph here has two different types of blues and denims, a darker indigo denim on the bottom and then a lighter wash shirt on top. For my indigo denim, I'm gonna go with this signature selvedge denim that I'm making with left field. Very cool nineteen thirties style buckle bad. They're persimmon dyed, so they have this really cool brown looking weft. And while I don't have a brown silver tipped better belt like he's wearing in this photo, I do have this dark brown and silver buckle belt from double r l. Alright. And now for the in between layer, that blue shirt, I have two options. I have this vintage chambray shirt that I think looks more accurate to the photo. However, it's not quite long enough to have tucked in. So I think I'm gonna go with something a little bit different. This right here is a made rank crafted Wabash shirt from Levi's. Now I think the big thing to note here is how Ralph has his shirts tucked in. The blue one actually just has this very bottom button button. And next up for the green shirt, I actually have this one from Polo Country, and I think it's so perfect because it has Ralph chain stitch right here above the pocket. And now if we look at the green shirt, you can see that it's tucked in a little bit differently. No buttons are buttoned, rather he's almost just tucking it in as the shirt falls. Alright. So now we're really layered up. For my boots, I'm gonna go with these brown leather ones from Tacovas. I'm gonna top my outfit off with this vintage sets in. I've got my wallet chain from Studebaker Better. Little vintage ring rank. And look how sick this new one is that I just got. Alright. But here's the final tier. Ralph Lauren on the R R Rank in 1983. The fact that this photo was taken over forty years ago and I'm using it as inspiration today really just shows that Ralph Lauren's style is timeless. He will forever be cool.
