Velvet & Tartan to Wear
Cable knits, velvet, and a bit of tartan. Easy pieces that look polished at a holiday party and still work with jeans.
The cable-knit that started it all. Navy or cream with jeans and a velvet bow in your hair, and you're done. Neiman Marcus carries it.
Polo Ralph Lauren Cable-Knit Sweater
A deep blue silk-blend velvet blazer that looks straight out of a Ralph Lauren holiday ad. Wear it over a white tee and jeans, or dress it up for Christmas Eve.
Silk Blend Velvet Dinner Jacket
A best seller at Banana Republic right now. Black burnout velvet that works with a plaid skirt for a party or tucked into jeans for dinner out.
Burnout Velvet Long-Sleeve Turtleneck Top
A classic Barbour tartan scarf, in traditional green or a festive red. The easiest way to get the look on a cold walk to the car. Also a great gift.
Barbour Tartan Scarf
The Holiday Table
Tartan, cut crystal, and brass. A few pieces like these turn a regular dining table into something that feels like a cozy old inn.
Red tartan plates from Lenox that layer right on top of plain white dinner plates. Set of 4, and they work all winter, not just Christmas Day.
Lenox Holiday Red Tartan Accent Plates
Cut crystal is a big part of the Ralph Lauren table, and Waterford's Lismore pattern is the classic. A pair is a nice splurge for yourself or a lovely gift for a host.
Waterford Lismore Essence Wine Glasses, Set of 2
Black Watch is the moodier tartan, all navy and deep green. It's extra long (almost 12 feet), so it runs the whole table and spills over the ends. Pair it with brass and candlelight.
Black Watch Tartan Table Runner
Velvet Bows & Tree Trimmings
Burgundy velvet, deep green, and red tartan ribbon. Skip the tinsel and glitter this year. A few rich textures do all the work.
The #1 best seller in holiday bows on Amazon right now. Burgundy velvet bows tucked all over the tree is the fastest way to get the Ralph Lauren look. Under $15 for 12.
Burgundy Velvet Tree Bows, Set of 12
Red tartan ribbon from Balsam Hill. Weave it through the branches, make big bows for the mantel, or tie it around the wreath. Mix it with the velvet bows.
Red Tartan Christmas Tree Ribbon
Deep green velvet ornaments that look so much richer than plain glass balls. Hang them next to the burgundy bows and the tree reads Ralph Lauren from across the room.
Green Velvet Ball Ornaments, Set of 12
Trim the tree and the presents. Love the two sided options for this paper!
LaRibbons 30" x 33' Christmas Wrapping Paper Jumbo Roll, Traditional Tartan Plaid and Decorated Trees
Matching plaid wrapping paper. Love the dark option.
Dark Christmas Plaid Wrapping Paper, Holiday Gift Wrap, 58 x 22 in, Coated Paper
A nice thick roll! Love having plenty of paper to wrap the entire lot!
Christmas Wrapping Paper Roll with Dark Tartan Plaid Design 17 Inch by 16.3 Ft for Holiday Gift Wrapping and Winter Craft Projects
Candlelight & Cozy Layers
The part that makes it feel moody. Low lamps, lots of candles, a plaid throw on the chair, and a fireplace scent even if you don't have a fireplace.
Feu de Bois means wood fire, and it smells like a fireplace crackling in an old library. If you only buy one thing from this list for the mood, make it this.
Diptyque Feu de Bois Candle
Boy Smells' holiday tree candle, for anyone with a faux tree who misses the real-tree smell. Lovely gift wrapped up with one of those velvet bows.
Boy Smells Xxmas Tree Candle
Red Stewart plaid is the classic Ralph Lauren tartan. This soft chenille throw has over a thousand good reviews and costs a fraction of the designer version. Drape it on a leather chair.
Red Stewart Plaid Chenille Throw
Brass candlesticks are everywhere in the Ralph Lauren look. Group a few of these at different heights down the table with tall green or burgundy tapers.
