Ralph Lauren triumphs with back-to-office fashion

The return to office work in the US is driving a resurgence in elegant fashion, benefiting companies like Ralph Lauren and Coach. Ralph Lauren reported a 13% increase in revenue in its latest quarter, while Coach, part of Tapestry, saw a 15% growth in sales. The trend is attributed to the accelerated return to office work, with companies like Amazon and JPMorgan announcing mandatory office attendance in 2025.

As a result, Americans are dressing more formally, with sales of dress shoes and formal wear increasing, while athletic wear sales slow down.
