Lo Life

In the world of fashion and consumerism, we often find ourselves unwittingly entranced by the power of branding. The appeal of a well-crafted logo or a well-told brand story can be irresistible, leading us to seek out and covet certain products with a fervor that borders on obsession.

This journey began in my high school days in Virginia Beach, where I first fell in love with the streetwear and hip-hop style that dominated the scene. Growing up idolizing Pharrell Williams, I was naturally drawn to the vibrant and colorful designs of brands like Stussy and BAPE, which were all the rage at the time. As a struggling college student, I had to make every penny count, but when Commonwealth, the first streetwear boutique, opened its doors near my campus, I knew I had to splurge. I spent my entire lunch money on Stussy! And those free BAPE sandals from a Japanese fashion magazine? Don't even get me started. The packaging alone was worth the hype. It was the early 2000s, the golden age of streetwear, and I was all in - a fan, a consumer, a fiend for that fresh gear.

But as I grew older and began to navigate the world of video production in the 2010s, I found myself drawn to more practical and functional clothing that could withstand the rigors of travel and long days on set. That's when I discovered Patagonia, whose ethos and commitment to sustainability and environmentalism spoke to me on a deeper level. While laboring for Karmaloop, the digital retail behemoth, I was introduced to the preeminent outdoor clothier, Patagonia, by my co-producer, Will Kaner, who even authored an article for their publication. Naturally, I seized the opportunity to exploit the good 40% staff discount, accruing a surplus of gorp gear. I was adrift in the bewildering world, clad in Patagonia attire juxtaposed with Supreme, a peculiar amalgamation of normcore and Hypebeast. But alas, I was a mere neophyte in my early 30s, needing to be more knowledgeable about the customs and conventions of the scene.

Everything altered at the age of 38, an age I never envisioned, as I achieved the long-elusive milestone of accumulating a million dollars. It pains me to utter such crass numerical values, but truth be told, being a millennial millionaire is the equivalent of attaining a six-figure salary in the 90s. But with all that cash came a weird mid-life crisis that had me second-guessing my fashion choices. It's funny, because my old man, who had lived through some serious immigrant struggles, couldn't even afford to have a mid-life crisis if he wanted to. Crazy how life works, right? I didn't just want to amass a collection of clothes; I wanted to invest in pieces that would stand the test of time, and that I could pass down to future generations as heirlooms.

So there I was, 38 years old in the year of the pandemic, 2020. All my TV gigs and film projects were kaput, but what? I needed a damn break, man. The whole industry was in panic mode, and I felt burned out. Thus, the pandemic imposed an impromptu sabbatical, which led to me spending much more time on social media. And you know what I noticed? My peers were starting to dress a little more grown-up and sophisticated. I started checking out brands like Noah and Rowing Blazers, and damn, those Ivy vibes were calling my name. Not content with merely adding to my collection, I also took to the online marketplace, selling off my streetwear pieces on popular sites like Grailed and eBay. Indeed, it may have been the apex of the resell era, and I certainly reaped the benefits. In fact, I amassed nearly $20k in sales - not bad for a time of boredom and isolation. And yet, with all that surplus cash in hand, I couldn't help but feel that any future clothing purchases must be made with a deep investment in a brand that stood the test of time.

And that's where Ralph Lauren comes in. I've always been a fan of the brand's classic, preppy, all-American design aesthetic, but it wasn't until 2020 that I became truly devoted to it. That year, as the world was plunged into chaos and uncertainty by the COVID-19 pandemic, I found myself seeking solace in the familiar and the timeless

In the past, I always had a thing for Polo, but I was never one of those hardcore "Lo Life" types. And let's be honest, I could never afford those Polo Bear sweaters back in the day. We had a few hand-me-down Polo joints and some CHAPS gear, which all the kids used to clown on. They'd say, "Yo, CHAPS stands for 'Can't Have A Polo Shirt'" haha. But back in 2020, with the extra time, I began to re-explore the world of Ralph Lauren more deeply, immersing myself in the brand's rich history and heritage. I learned about Ralph Lauren's influence on the fashion industry as a whole and how so many other designers and brands have borrowed from and been inspired by his designs. It's pretty charming to observe the extent to which Ralph Lauren's style has permeated the world of streetwear. Every other brand borrows elements from Ralph, with some even flipping the iconic Polo Bear to depict him engaging in questionable activities. The Polo Sport logo, too, has been emulated by countless streetwear brands, so much so that it's impossible to keep track of them all. One can see inspiration in the designs of brands like Aime Leon Dore, Palace, and Supreme, using vibrant colors, bold graphics, and classic silhouettes that pay homage to Ralph Lauren's legendary aesthetic.

In many ways, my journey into the world of Ralph Lauren has reflected my personal growth and evolution. From my early days in Virginia Beach to my struggles and successes as a video director to my current status as a devoted collector and enthusiast, I've come a long way. As I built my own collection of Ralph Lauren pieces, I carefully organized them into categories on a Google Slides document (yes, I know it sounds crazy). And even on film sets for projects I directed, I allowed the costume department to tap into my wardrobe to elevate the characters' looks. But you know what? It's all been worth it. And hey, if that means sharing my closet with the costume department on set, so be it. 

Through social media and online forums, I connected with people worldwide who shared my passion for the brand and its timeless style. I discovered community and connection among other Ralph Lauren fans and collectors. And as I built my own collection of Ralph Lauren pieces, I found myself thinking more and more about the idea of legacy and passing things down to future generations. There's something deeply satisfying about knowing that the clothes I'm investing in now will still be relevant and desirable years, even decades, from now.

But why Ralph Lauren, you may ask? Well, for me, it's more than just a brand. It's a symbol of the American Dream. My father, a hardworking immigrant who struggled so that I could have a better life, serves as my blueprint for the American Dream. And Ralph Lauren, with its connection to the all-American design aesthetic and the aspirational qualities it fosters, embodies that dream in a way that speaks to me personally.

Of course, my journey with Ralph Lauren has not been without its bumps in the road. The psychology of brand loyalty and cult-like following, particularly in fashion, becomes evident when examining the emotional connection and aspirational qualities fostered by brands like Ralph Lauren. But for me, the camaraderie and investment in the brand have been a journey of self-discovery and personal growth, culminating in a deep appreciation for Ralph Lauren's timeless appeal and global influence.

In a world that seems to be constantly shifting and changing, the enduring allure of Ralph Lauren has remained a constant for me. And while some may see my devotion to the brand as a sign of being lost in the hypnotic world of branding, I see it as a reflection of my own personal evolution and growth.

I am hopelessly endeared by Lando saying he frets while picking out his own paddock outfits https://www.rollingstone.com/product-recommendations/lifestyle/lando-norris-ralph-lauren-polo-red-campaign-1235132711/

That is SO cute he's just a Boy like I DID have doubts that he had a stylist just because he wasn't working with brands but knowing that he's like brainstorming his little outfits probably bookmarking inspo fits on tiktok and sending the group chat (Max) pics being like "? Do I look lik a tossr" is just The cutest thing ever. I think it's Very Lamdo to stress about it and then be like WHATEVER IT'S NOT LIKE I KNOW FASHION THIS DOESN'T MATTER and then still wear it and is soooo secretly pleased when people hype up his fit. He's GONNA be a lil self conscious about it but he's always Gonna Do It.

Jackie Taylor Style Analysis:

I would describe Jackie’s outfits as preppy. Jackie wears a lot of striped shirts, button downs / polo shirts and argyle sweater vests. She also wears lots of solid colored shorts and tops. Jackie tends to wear florals when she’s getting dressed up (like her party dress, or her doomcoming dress).

Colors: Mostly Blues and Yellows with the occasional Reds/Pinks/Corals.

Repeatedly Worn Brands: Polo, Ralph Lauren, and Gap.

Ideas of how to dress like Jackie:

• Layer an argyle vest over a white collared button down.

• Wear bright colored statement shorts.

• Gold jewelry (more specifically a gold heart necklace).

• Wear white and blue or white and black striped tops.

. + ° PERSONALITY: Sora is a very kind person. she seems rather mean or 'cold' on the outside due to her resting face, the way she holds herself, her preference for alone time or her love for peace and quiet, but when people really get to know her, they see her as one of the most warming and caring people.

loyal: one thing about Sora, is that she will strongly defend her loved ones when they're receiving hate or wrongly accused of something. fans warn people to not mess with her as she will easily call out people if they say something to her loved ones.

confident: although it is inevitable to not get insecure or doubt herself, Sora knows her worth and strongly reminds herself of it every day.

. + ° WEAKNESSES:

perfectionist: although this is something she's working on, Sora likes things to be in an order where she can easily reach/do them. at first, she would do this by overworking herself or practicing too much to the point of exhaustion. what she does now is she lets the boys mess up her room so she can clean it again and destress herself.

self-isolating: this is also something Sora is working on, but as she's still not so good with voicing her emotions or feelings, she'll often stay in her room and ponder over her feelings or the situation by herself without telling anyone.

. + ° SEXUALITY: straight

. + ° RELATIONSHIP STATUS: in a relationship ( for 7 months )

Shopping & Fashion ☁︎‎‎‧₊˚🛒‧𓍢ִ໋

Like a lot of people, I love clothes and fashion. It is a way to express who I am on the outside in an artistic way. And like a lot of people, I like to shop from time to time. However, recently I have been trying to be more mindful on the spending I do for clothes and work with what I have. I also want to be more mindful when I shop and don’t want to contribute to overconsumption more than I have.

I started using this app called Whering to reinvent my style and get inspiration on new ways to dress. Although I am on this journey of being more sustainable, I still indulge in window shopping- instore and online. I prefer to shop at stores that are more independent and less mainstream, but I also love a good deal.

On this journey of finding my style, I have come across many different brands. I have made a lists of places to shop at and I am always looking for more. This list ranges in price points and aesthetics. Maybe this can help you discover new brands or give you inspiration.

Ralph Lauren 'Corduroy Collar Cotton Field Jacket' - $762.00

If I were to have picked a piece of outerwear by any brand to complement the equestrian energy of this ‘fit, it would have been Ralph Lauren - so I’m delighted that this toffee coloured field jacket is a Polo by RL piece.

I’ll also say that while previously the two tone mix of browns sans coats wasn’t entirely sold on me that now with the addition of a third brown shade that the mixture now feels more ‘complete’ and robust - like a true, intentional fall-leaning palette.

Worn with: Stella McCartney shirt, Tod's bag, and Prada boots

Polo Classic Mid Rise Brief rock! You can wear them when your 20’s/30’s because polo is such a stylish and well thought of brand. People don’t see the tightey whiteys..they see ralph Lauren’s.

American Riviera Orchard - an analysis of this calamity of a name by u/ElectricalAd9212

American Riviera Orchard - an analysis of this calamity of a name Recently there has been a thing for 'Old Money' aesthetics on Instagram.'Old Money' as opposed to 'New Money'New Money is well, newly acquired money, and the style and aesthetic that goes with that.New money isn't bad in itself. There is an argument that 'Old Money' is snobbish towards 'New Money', looking down on the self made people who spend on designer lables to signal their financial status.'Old Money' takes its aesthetic from 'old' Europe, in particular, a sense of aristocracy. Of timeless, classy, understated style and elegance. But 'Old Money' in America is also rooted in the old families and traditions of America. Without an aristocracy, America still had aristocratic people, who emulated the traditions and elegance and class of the old world, and imbued it with an American essence.I think part of the incredible success and appeal of Ralph Lauren is his brand emanates a sense of American Old Money, whilst signaling a trans Atlantic origin. Much of the aesthetic and feel of his style is rooted in British and Italian gentry traditions. What could be more Old Money and upper class than the very logo of your brand being a man on a horse playing polo?So Ralph Lauren is a brilliant example of taking Old Money culture and making it successful as a genuinely stylish brand rooted in American elegance and style.Now, lets examine 'American Riveira Orchard'Instead of creating imagery of a timeless American old money aesthetic, the name screams word salad gibberish, a name which evokes someone who is making cheap tat like scented candles for use in the toilet, and they want to give it a feint 'classy' name when its sold at the local discount store.Markle is by every metric a calamity and failure of a kind that is truly unique.This is a woman who married into the pinnacle of 'Old Money', the British Royal Family, and has succeeded in degrading her own image in every way whilst ennobling the image of the Monarchy in contrast to her.But most of all, she is incapable of embodying any of the essence and class of Old Money America that she so desperately thinks she embodies. She embodies the worst qualities of 'New Money', the ugly, unpleasant, nasty vulgarity, without embodying its good qualities, of hard work and self creation, and she is the antithesis of 'Old Money', that of effortless, understated elegance, with a noble flair, and a sense of noblesse oblige and class and generosity and humility in not being ostentatious, and having a sense of responsibility towards others.In every way, Markle and Harry are a calamity unlike any other seen in public life in memory, and they embody the very worst aspects of modern Anglo-American culture, and nothing speaks more of this than the hilariously absurd name of her endeavour, 'American Riviera Orchard', an awful string of words from a calamity of a mind and person.​ post link: https://ift.tt/4jSeVaQ author: ElectricalAd9212 submitted: March 20, 2024 at 01:29PM via SaintMeghanMarkle on Reddit disclaimer: all views + opinions expressed by the author of this post, as well as any comments and reblogs, are solely the author's own; they do not necessarily reflect the views of the administrator of this Tumblr blog.
