The streets of New York. Paris Fashion Week. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. Instagram. Jennifer Lawrence. When thinking of style inspiration, many places (and people) come to mind.
But as we aimlessly scroll through Pinterest for our latest inspo pic, we’ve been busy obsessing over one particular icon: the Ralph Lauren Polo Bear.
With chic scarves, sweaters, and many incredible bags, we have to admit we were jealous of the stylish brand mascot. And then we found TikTokker @the_real_lin_shady, who is using the Polo Bear as a foolproof plan for finding a cute and fresh outfit.
Who would have thought the humble Polo Bear could give such great fashion advice? Scroll through any of the Saint Louis-based content creator’s teddy-inspired ‘get-ready with me’ videos and it’s clear the fuzzy teddy has style.
The idea is simple: look towards the iconic bear, which has been synonymous with the brand for over three decades, and re-create the look.
No, your outfit doesn’t need to actually include Ralph Lauren pieces and no, it doesn’t have to be perfect. But, what this creative exercise does deliver is practice in creating new outfits and combinations from clothes you already own, plus, a new preppy and vintage spin on 2024 fashion.
