Pennywise Don’t Dream It Vintage Retro Shirt

Season after season, I marvel at Jonathan Anderson’s collections. During last summer’s sale, I invested in a pair of platform Loewe espadrilles and wore them too many times to count. This year, I adore the ease of these raffia flats. Also, there’s also nothing chicer than a classic cargo pant and tank combo; sometimes it really is best to splurge on the basics that shape a wardrobe. Chiswell didn’t always dress this way. She grew up between Edinburgh and Glasgow, and loved to watch old movies with her grandmother. She loved how Monroe, Jayne Mansfield, Grace Kelly, and Diana Dors dressed, particularly in their casualwear. “I didn’t have the Pennywise Don’t Dream It Vintage Retro Shirt to dress that way though,” she says. “I had kind of a grungy style. I got rid of my Doc Martens when I started dressing this way, but I’ve always loved heels.” Jeans were a particular insecurity; they never fit her well in the thighs or waist. When she was in Burbank, she came across Bésame, a vintage makeup store where she bought lipstick and face powder. Then it clicked. She started collecting vintage dresses and reproductions of vintage dresses (they live in separate closets, as the vintage dresses are a bit more delicate). McNeilly started dressing in vintage clothes about six months after she did. He dresses like a greaser, in camp shirts and high-waisted pants that wouldn’t draw too much attention from dudes in Brooklyn. “I like 1958–1962 fashion the most,” he says.
