Going to the gym in style, and not only style but using appropriate clothes that will help you perform better, train better and look good. I have two new complete outfits from Ralph Lauren Polo sport, lucky I got them in a flash sale they still have going on at the Renaissance mall here in Aruba. All pieces can mix and match with each other, they transition perfectly from gym to have breakfast or to do any activity outdoor.

Flat seams minimize friction, providing unparalleled comfort. The 8½”-inseam mesh short is lightweight and breathable for exceptional comfort.   All these pieces are available with a discount not only online but in the Ralph Lauren Store located at the Renaissance Mall in Aruba.

BASEBALL JACKET | RALPH LAUREN

Reversible baseball jacket by Ralph Lauren, White, long sleeved white sweater, Brown Chinos and Shoes by Ralph Lauren, Sunglasses by Komono, watch by Michael Kors. _________________________________________________________________ The inspiration for this outfit was ivy league, back to school, fall… kind of vibe, you know? The beautiful baseball jacket made of this cotton satin fabric is the center piece of the outfit, it has shine that makes it look comfortable and fresh. I paired with a simple white sweater and chinos, you know? Let the jacket shine on its own, it is really a classic look, very preppy. For the shoes I picked gray cause I have always loved how gray and brown look together, I even thought of wearing gray pants with brown shoes…that would have been more classic but I think like i did has a little more edge to it. Visit Ralph lauren at the Renaissance Mall to buy all these pieces… or your favorite. Make sure you are following me on instagram and snapchat: @christianbendek

TROPICAL VIBES

   Cactus t-shirt by Dolce&Gabbana, Jeans by United Colors of Benetton, sunglasses by Le Specs, watch by Nixon, bracelets by Caputo&Co and Lokai. Ostrich leather iphone case by Ullu. _________________________________________________________________ So… I wore this outfit last friday, I went to this new lounge on the island. I have to say that the pink skinny jeans were equally eye catchy than the shirt. I mean, it was a friday night clubbing and sometimes I like to dress on the colorful side because is more fun, it is inviting, people is less shy around you or at least that’s what I believe. I was wearing white sneakers by Ralph Lauren, I think you know that pair from previous posts. Now this saturday there’s a cool party at Villa Royale… No idea what to wear, it is a pool party and even thou I might have 10000 swim shorts I have no idea what to wear. Maybe this little dilema would be my next post on the blog. If you are in aruba and you wanna go just ask …

HAWAIIAN INDIGO MATCH | RALPH LAUREN SUMMER 2015

I’ve seen this trend in guys going on for quite a while now but it wasn’t until I visited the ralph Lauren store and saw this Hawaiian print; the shirt and the shorts right next to each other, that I decided that I will experiment and I’m pleased with the outcome.

I’m wearing white polo shirt, white jeans and even white shoes to let the jacket take the center of attention. I’m head to toe in Ralph Lauren, if you’re in Aruba or you are planning to visit make sure you go to the Renaissance Mall and visit the Ralph Lauren store… you might see me there, we can shop together!

Pink Ombré | Ralph Lauren

So… Here’s this beautiful pink ombré shirt paired with a royal blue blazer and jeans. I fell in love with the shirt the minute I saw it at Ralph Lauren and then I decided to create an outfit around it. My head works like this: That beautiful pink shirt I had to tone it down with a masculine blue jacket, I know, i know..colors have no gender, but I love the contrast and then to make it more casual I chose a pair of Ralph Lauren jeans from their new collection. All pieces are from their new summer collection, included the gorgeous leather Duffel bag,  an ideal companion for the frequent traveler. You can fit almost anything in there and it smells so goooood.   The haze sunglasses, called Raze in Electric Blue are a statement piece, the blue on the top of the lens gives them this unique look setting them apart from regular aviators. The watermelon Lecimes case, as I’m sure you know it by now is my favorite case this season.

We never go out of style | Ralph Lauren

Classic pieces never go out of style, that’s why this blog posts is featuring only Ralph Lauren items that you can buy and wear forever or as long as they fit you. *laughs* The Green Regent Shirt  has been crafted from cotton poplin, it’s a slim-fitting, striped dress shirt featuring a medium-spread Regent collar and Ralph Lauren’s signature embroidered pony. The herringbone blazer is rendered in a lightweight blend of linen and silk, with leather accents and elbow patches for a rustic inspiration.  They look great together, the earth colors complement each other very well, they look fresh, young and casual together.  The white chino pants are rafted from smooth cotton, this essential pant is treated with pigment dyes to achieve a vintage look and features a straight-leg silhouette. For the belt I picked a classic navy themed belt with a vibrant pattern of nautical flags. The outfit is complete now, I picked a light color bottom to give it a resort/cruise look appropriate for the caribbean. I hope you liked this outfit I picked from the new Ralph Lauren collection available in the store located at the Renaissance Mall …

ONE PERFECT SUMMER OUTFIT

So, summer is here… actually is always here in Aruba, but for those who are waiting for the hottest and most fun time of the year, here’s so outfit I put together with Ralph Lauren. Let’s start with this beautiful sailboat print mercer shirt in green linen. It was love at first sight, it is a classic shirt but so vibrant and colorful, my eyes went directly to this showstopper the minute I was browsing around the store.  It is 100% linen, it has a convenient rounded patch pocket at the left chest and split back yoke with a box pleat it has, gives you a greater range of motion and makes it so confortable to wear, those are the details I love from this shirt. Taking in consideration the shirt has a very bright and eye catchy print I decided to pair it with a more toned down bottom, so I went for a more light blue bermuda short with an equally relaxed silhouette, made of cotton. It’s a perfect basic that you can pair with anything and everything, it is …

THESE PANTS!

You know, quoting Air Supply; “Just when I thought I was over you..” Ralph Lauren adds these pants to their new summer collection… I mean, I did floral/print pants a while back, I’m talking 2012 when it was a new thing and I thought it was interesting and fun to spice it up by wearing these pants, then I got a new pair in 2013 because there were more options in different stores and then the last was last December, after that one I said to myself – This pair is the last pair I buy… Until I saw these. Do I need to go on detail and describe them? I don’t think so… just look at them. Enjoy. Floral Poplin Eaton Pant Crafted in Italy from crisp cotton poplin, our floral Eaton pant is tailored for a modern, slim-leg silhouette…and a showstopper!
