I'm Having a "Ralph Lauren Christmas"—Here's How to Get the Look No Matter Your Budget

There's a new aesthetic taking over my living room—and wardrobe—this holiday season, and if you're a regular on TikTok, you've probably already come across it: a "Ralph Lauren Christmas." The viral trend is inspired by the brand's classic, refined American aesthetic—characterized by luxurious textures, rich jewel-tone colors, traditional plaid prints, and lush greenery—forgoing minimalism and dialing up '90s nostalgia and warmth. Say goodbye to bland beige, and welcome in classic plaids, dark wood, brass, leather, candles, and rich tones of green, navy, and burgundy to create a look reminiscent of a classic holiday movie.

If you're craving this season's "Ralph Lauren Christmas" aesthetic, then I'm here to offer you some chic and nifty ideas to get the look—no matter your budget. Yes, there are plenty of Ralph Lauren items sprinkled in here, but the idea is you don't have to blow your budget to lean into the cozy, warm look. I'm also including a whole host of affordable finds that will bring joy, personality, warmth, and nostalgia to your home and wardrobe this holiday season. Take a peek.
