I hope it’s not too early to talk about the holidays, because we’re excited to announce a holiday themed giveaway today. Ralph Lauren holiday style is trending online, and I love the aesthetic. When it comes to holiday style, no one does timeless, cozy luxury quite like Ralph Lauren. Think roaring fireplaces, tartan throws, gleaming brass accents, and crystal glassware that sparkles under candlelight — all wrapped in that iconic mix of equestrian elegance and old-world charm.

This season, we’re channeling Ralph Lauren’s holiday aesthetic — and giving you the chance to bring a touch of it home!

We’re excited to announce a $100 Ralph Lauren Gift Card Giveaway to help one lucky reader add a bit of that signature RL magic to their home (or wardrobe). You can spend it however you’d like — on holiday décor, a classic cable knit sweater, a luxurious candle, or even something special for someone on your list. 

I’ll explain how to enter below, and after that I’ll break down how to channel the Ralph Lauren holiday aesthetic.


How to Enter:

Make sure you’re subscribed and leave a comment on this article telling us your favorite way to make your home feel like the holidays.

A winner will be chosen randomly on December 4, 2025, and after checking to make sure that the winner is a subscriber, the winner will receive a Ralph Lauren e-gift card for the value of $100. Terms and conditions are listed below. Thanks in advance for entering!


The Ralph Lauren Holiday Aesthetic Explained

Ralph Lauren’s holiday style is all about heritage luxury meets cozy sophistication — a look that feels both grand and deeply personal. Here’s how to bring the look home this season:

1. Classic Tartan Everything

Nothing says Ralph Lauren Holiday like plaid. Layer tartan throws on your sofa, add plaid napkins to your dining table, or drape a tartan tablecloth or runner across it. Mix different scales of plaid for a collected, country manor feel.

2. Garlands and Greenery Everywhere

For Ralph Lauren, greenery isn’t just a finishing touch — it’s the heart of the holiday look. From grand doorways to mantelpieces draped in pine, lush garlands bring the season to life with texture and depth.

Layer fresh cedar, fir, and magnolia leaves for that refined yet natural feel. Add velvet bows, small pinecones, or even touches of tartan ribbon to tie it all together. A Ralph Lauren-inspired garland should feel abundant, traditional, and slightly wild — like it came straight from a snowy estate garden.

Chic tip: Drape greenery over mirrors or across a table, and add brass candlesticks or crystal hurricane lamps nearby to highlight the natural beauty.

3. Rich Textures and Luxe Layers

Mixing materials is key. Think velvet cushions, cashmere throws, leather trays, and polished wood accents. Ralph Lauren interiors often pair rugged textures with refined finishes — it’s that high-low mix that makes the look so timeless. You can add velvet pillows in deep burgundy or forest green for instant holiday richness.

No Ralph Lauren-inspired home is complete without a hint of burnished brass — that golden, time-worn metal that instantly adds warmth and sophistication. Unlike shiny gold, burnished brass feels lived-in and refined, the kind of finish you’d expect to find in a stately country home.

Incorporate brass through lamps, candlesticks, picture frames, or barware. A pair of brass sconces on the wall, a tray on your coffee table, or vintage-inspired drawer pulls can add that subtle gleam that makes the room feel timeless.

4. Equestrian and Vintage Accents

Ralph Lauren’s heritage often nods to equestrian life — so add subtle touches like vintage-style horse prints, riding boots by the entryway, or brass stirrup details. Vintage ornaments add just the right amount of character and authenticity to your holiday home.

5. The Refined Holiday Table

For entertaining, go classic and elegant: crisp white dinnerware, crystal glassware, and tartan napkins. Add a low floral arrangement of red roses, pine sprigs, and holly berries for a table that feels straight out of a Ralph Lauren ad campaign.

A Holiday Home That Tells a Story

The beauty of Ralph Lauren’s style is that it’s rooted in storytelling — a blend of heritage, adventure, and romance. It’s about creating a space that feels collected over time, yet warm and welcoming enough for the holidays.

Even small touches — like velvet ribbons on your tree, a tartan ribbon tied around a wreath or a plaid bow on your stockings — can bring that elevated Ralph Lauren spirit into your home this season.

  1. Oh the holidays – I’m already so excited to decorate and celebrate! The splendor of Ralph Lauren holiday décor sends me! Each and everything mentioned in this fab newsletter checks the boxes – elegant, yet cozy – elevated and chic! (Is it too early to start decorating NOW?) For me, some tartan dessert plates are a wish. I think too, I’ll add some velvet ribbons to my tree this year. The glassware is simply divine but I think hubby will veto that (I have an obsession with chic glassware. Is it just me?) Cheers to the holiday season – wishing you and yours such joy, comfort and ease. 🥂🎄🎁

  5. One of my favorite ways to make a home feel like the holidays is by setting the mood through different scents and sounds. Lighting a few candles that smell like pine, cinnamon, or freshly baked cookies instantly transforms the atmosphere, and pairing that with a playlist of cozy music makes everything feel warm and festive.

  10. I think the most important part of making my space feel like home for the holidays is really through expressing my own style and replicating the warm feeling associated with the holidays through dark reds and cozy scents. I like to make my space artistic and creative, sharing picturesque views in my life through pinterest and photography–so my space definitely has to reflect that warmth and comfort during the cold winter. I want my apartment to be a place my loved ones can also feel cozy and invited in 🙂

      For me, Ralph Lauren fits my body well. Most brands are not my shape.

    1. We make our house feel like a home by using some of the same decorations we’ve had all through the years, going back 40 years. Some things get replaced, but we’ll use it til it crumbles. Traditions are important & the nostalgia is amazing.
