I Love the ’80s

Thanks to the Brat Pack, you love take-out sushi lunches and have faith that your own Jake Ryan will show up one day.

Not to mention a deep appreciation for oversize jackets, shrunken vests, and midcalf hemlines.

So unleash your inner Sloane Peterson with Jeremy Laing’s spring collection — summer anoraks, high-waisted pleated shorts, and other tailored looks that pay homage to the late ’80s without trying too hard.

Standouts include sleeveless boyfriend blazers in rumpled white cotton that close with two buttons and billowy dresses in maize, peridot, ink, and black silk jersey.

Some pieces might seem heady (training under Alexander McQueen can do that to a person), but Laing keeps comfort and ease top of mind. The result: clothes in which you can totally be yourself.

And definitely say anything.


Available at Ron Herman, 8100 Melrose Avenue, at Crescent Heights Boulevard, West Hollywood (323-651-4129). To see styles, go to jeremylaing.com.
