What to know about Ralph Lauren Kids
Ralph Lauren Kids is the childrenswear division of Ralph Lauren Corporation, the New York company founded by Ralph Lauren in 1967 and still independently listed on the NYSE. It scales the house's Anglo-American prep codes down for babies through teens: cotton mesh Polo shirts with the embroidered pony, cable-knit and Polo Bear sweaters, chinos, oxford shirts, rugby stripes, tartan dresses and quilted outerwear. Collections run alongside adult seasonal launches, with matching family dressing, holiday capsules and Wimbledon or US Open tie-ins recurring each year.
How Ralph Lauren Kids fits
Overall fit
true to size
Ralph Lauren Kids generally fits close to true to size on the label, though the classic prep cut runs slightly trim so many parents size up for growing room.
Tip: Order your child's usual age-based size; consider sizing up if you want growing room since the fit is trim rather than oversized.
