Ralph Lauren surpassed quarterly revenue estimates on Thursday, helped by resilient demand for its classic Polo shirts and spring dresses, sending its shares up 3% in premarket trading.

Its efforts to invest in brands including Polo and Purple Label, paired with stylish seasonal drops, have been helping the company win over younger and less price-sensitive shoppers.

However, it forecast annual revenue below estimates owing to pressures from uncertainty around US tariffs, Reuters reported.

Ralph Lauren is among the retailers and luxury brands facing the brunt of unpredictable US tariff shifts that have disrupted businesses and rattled shoppers worldwide.

The company expects fiscal 2026 revenue to increase in the low-single digits from last year, while analysts estimated a rise of 4.39%, per data compiled by LSEG.

It posted quarterly revenue of $1.70 billion, compared with estimates of $1.65 billion.

Dolce & Gabbana beckoned the warm weather with crumpled, take-me-anywhere comfort in their menswear collection for spring-summer 2026, previewed during Milan Fashion Week on Saturday.

The show opened and closed with a relaxed pajama silhouette — deliberately rumpled and effortless — in a clash of stripes, with both shorts and long trousers.

The Beethoven soundtrack belied designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana’s more deliberate intent, underscoring the designers' structured approach to soft tailoring.

A broad shoulder double-breasted suit jacket and tie worn with pink pinstriped PJ pants encapsulated the classic summer dilemma: work vs. pleasure.

Raw knitwear, or furry overcoats, added texture. Boxers peeked out of waistbands, and big shirt cuffs out of jacket sleeves, challenging formal and casual codes.

Nothing was cleaner on the runway than a crisp striped pajama top in sky-blue and white stripes tucked into white leather Bermuda shorts — good for work and for play.

The designers' finale featured pajama suits, shorts and pants, with beaded floral patterned embroidery for an evening seaside shimmer, worn with fuzzy sliders. Twin cameo brooches gave an antique accent.

The crowd outside got to share in the fun when the finale models took the looks onto the streets, taking a full lap outside the designers’ Metropol theater. Front-row guests included actors Zane Phillips, Theo James, Lucien Laviscount and Michele Morrone.
