Have yourself a Merry Little Ralph Lauren Christmas…
Ralph Lauren Christmas has been trending all over social media! Whether you are team “Ralph Lauren Christmas” or “it’s just a re-brand of traditional Christmas” we can all agree, that it’s one of the better Christmas aesthetics to trend over the past decade. (I’m giving the ick side-eye to farmhouse Christmas)
I am team “Ralph Lauren Christmas” is different from “Traditional Christmas”
Ralph Lauren Christmas Aesthetic
What is Ralph Lauren Christmas?
- tartan plaids & velvet (specifically red, green or navy plaid. burgundy & hunter green velvet)
- deep colors (hunter green, burgundy, true red, navy blue…)
- rich green cedar garland & trees (nothing is flocked or glittered…thank God)
- teddy bear, dogs, & horse motifs
- classic refined coziness (candles, needlepoint stockings, old time holiday music on vinyl)
versus Traditional Christmas
- variety of plaids (tartan, buffalo check, houndstooth…)
- bright Christmas colors (red, green, white, gold, silver)
- pine needle garlands & trees, with holly berries, can be flocked
- snowmen, santa, reindeer & penguin motifs.
- nostalgic coziness (snowy lit Christmas villages, cozy blankets & classic music)
Ralph Lauren Christmas Entertaining Essentials
Whether throwing a holiday party, or just romanticizing dinnertime with your family…entertaining at Christmas is a must! Think taper candles on the dining table, Frank Sinatra Christmas on vinyl and this classic Christmas dinner set.
Ralph Lauren Christmas Living Room Essentials
Ralph Lauren Christmas decor is not overdone. You do not need garland adorning every table, bottlebrush flocked Christmas trees on every surface or anything that sheds glitter. Ralph Lauren Christmas is bringing elevated coziness into your home!
It’s a chenille tartan plaid throw blankests, no big overhead lights, a Christmas puzzle on a wooden coffee table while you sip mulled wine by the fire kind of holiday season.
Ralph Lauren Christmas Tree Essentials
No need for those suspicious white powder flocked Christmas Trees. You can use the tree you already have! (sorry if it’s a suspicious white powder flocked Christmas Tree). Or, cut down your own real Christmas tree?!
A Ralph Lauren Aesthetic Christmas tree is realistic, elegant, nostalgic and effortless.
I love the look of sparse pine trees adorned with burgundy velvet ribbon, nostalgic ornaments & tartan plaid ball ornaments.
A full pine tree with multi-colored INCANDESCENT lights, elegant silver tinsel and glass ornaments screams 90’s Ralph Lauren! Skip the tinsel and glass if you have cats, toddlers or excitable dogs with a strong tail wag…
Ralph Lauren Christmas Fireplace Essentials
A Ralph Lauren Christmas is relaxing by the perfectly decorated fireplace with a hot beverage, book and your pets. No need to overbook your holiday season with activities. Enjoying the season is the activity.
Instead of using giant bells, dazzling stocking holders, glittery garland and life-size nutcrackers (where do you even store them?!) go effortless this year!
Norfolk Pine Garland, a large velvet ribbon bow, a few taper candles or even some warm white christmas lights.
Ralph Lauren Christmas Outfit Essentials
Last but not least, a Ralph Lauren Aesthetic Christmas mini wardrobe. Tartan plaid flannel pajamas, cozy socks, & cute holiday party outfits.
