American woman

80s style-the sartorialist

There’s not much I like about the fashion of the ’80s, but if I were to choose a look that embodied the best of the decade’s style in my opinion, this would be it. It simply states: effortless from head to toe. And although it was shot in London, this look couldn’t be more American than this.

    Ada, I share your view on the 80s, but this look is so effortless and have that masculine vibe that I love. I have been MIA in the last weeks because of travelling and work, but it has been a pleasure catching up with your beautiful posts! Hope you are enjoying a warm spring!

    Ada,
    I have to admit that I kind of like the 80’s as you said there is something casual and careless about that era. And for some reason I can’t explain it reminds me of everything beachy and summery. I would buy that blazer she is wearing today. Now!
