Ralph Lauren Rhinelander Mansion, New York

Recently transformed into a men’s-only store, Ralph Lauren’s epic Rhinelander Mansion is one of the great icons of American clothing. The aged mahogany paneling, Gilded Age elevator and countless oil paintings (mostly of distinguished gentlemen, stately horses and obedient dogs) are as much a part of the experience as the clothes and home collections themselves. You’ll find everything from Polo boat shoes to Purple Label bespoke suits to Black Label motorcycle jackets to crystal whiskey glasses, all spread out over the store’s massive floor plan. 867 Madison Ave.; 212-606-2100; ralphlauren.com.
