Tnt The Monkees 55 Years Anniversary 1965

Tove’s effortless dresses might just be the it-item of summer. I’ve been swooning over this polka-dot blouse for weeks now and think it’s finally time for me to pull the trigger. I also love the idea of silk, pajama-inspired pants these days — comfortable and fashionable. 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 Tnt The Monkees 55 Years Anniversary 1965 – 2020 T-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.
