I admit, the latest from Ralph Lauren's Purple Label looks more like a central casting catalog for the latest Gatsby film than a Look Book for a current clothing line. We all know the roaring twenties has inspired Lauren, yet many other menswear designers have been heavily influenced by the "Jazz Era" in the up-and-coming seasons. However in my opinion, no one does the classics as well as R.L. For those that have worn a purple label dress shirt, or knotted a sevenfold tie from the collection, you will know that it is all worth it.
Shot in Malibu, California, here is Purple Label Spring 2012 (I had to have the black and white wingtips)

| Wearing white is hard to pull off without looking like the guy from Fantasy Island. Update your Summer suits with fresh shades of Navy. |

| A collar pin is an accessory that is true twenties, wear them with forward point collars only. |

| If I happen to be fortunate enough to own property in Malibu, this is how I plan to dress when at home. |
