The newsboy cap. One of my favourite fall accessories, without any doubt. It’s also the type of hat that suits my dressing style and my face shape best. And nobody has perfected the look – equal parts tomboy confidence and feminine sensibility – quite like Ralph Lauren.
Oversized shirt, drop earrings and high heeled sandals. Sweater dress and leather jacket. Shirt, rolled-up jeans and blazer. Denim on denim. Trouser suit. Overalls and pin-striped blazer. Elegant knitted sweater and cropped pants. Camel coat and wide legged jeans. Head-to-toe preppy attire. And the list can go on. Nobody has drawn a thinner, nor finer, line between masculine and feminine. Along the years, Ralph Lauren has shown us everything there was to learn about wearing the newsboy cap. And that’s why I love the man. Less fashion, more function.
