PS By Paul Smith Socks
These colorful socks add a bit of dandy without going too extreme. Best worn with Grandfather’s suit.

i feel like that this story was a good idea that someone got too lazy to follow through with. First slide = interesting, chatty & funny…then just random pictures of perfume, socks and shoes? a teal dress? expecting a little more from fashionista, even for a not-so-serious story.

Me too or Yar as the Sloanes say. I remember the Hooray Henrys and their Carolines of the eighties when I lived in London. Maybe you should have enlisted the assistance of Mr Peter York who wrote so well about them (was it in Harpers & Queen or Tatler or maybe both).

I actually think this is a witty and clever take on a bit of esoteric slang most Americans would never learn on their own.

Taking fashion too seriously is as much a faux pas as the very worst white Anglo-trash matching tracksuit combo.

Diana used to refer (again, derogatorily) to the preppy Sloane girls AS “velvet hairbands”.
I always fancied her style to be somewhat more alternative and relaxed (before marriage.) I mean, remember that iconic picture where she’s wearing her engagement rock with two oversized men’s watches? What were hipsters called in the early 80s?
