The master of American style does a lot of things perfectly. Chief among them: casual weekend wear. Don’t get me wrong—I love their luxury Purple Label suits and their cool Polo Sport line of gymwear as much as the next guy. But there’s something about the laid-back vibe of a summer weekend that simply beckons for something, anything, from Ralph Lauren in your get-up. I’m talking about slim-cut jogger pants, distressed white denim, and one cotton-nylon moto jacket that will inspire envy among even your most stylish friends. (Oh, and did I mention that whole polo thing?) Here are all items from His Ralphness that every man needs in his weekend duffel. And for more stylish options for this summer, check out the 35 best pairs of shorts for men.
