One of only 11 stores nationwide, this shop updates Ralph Lauren's traditional East Coast prep with a younger, more affordable aesthetic geared more toward stylish college co-eds than to summering in Nantucket. Brand staples like clean-lined trousers, rugby shirts, and classic trenches mix with flirty dresses and slim tops. The shop retains the rich, outdoorsy feel of other Ralph Lauren stores, outfitted with rich wood fixtures and packed floor to ceiling with Oxfords, denim, jackets, and of course, the trademark polo shirts.
