Strange things happened in lockdown, and after rewatching the 2013 film The Wolf of Wall Street while stuck at home, I was amazed to encounter a very unlikely style hero for the coronavirus era.
True, Donnie Azoff, played by Jonah Hill, is depicted as a reprehensible, Quaalude-guzzling fraudster, but one thing he did have in his favour was an excellent line in pastel-hued Ralph Lauren button-down Oxford shirts.
Feeding neatly into the preppy redux trend that was splattered across the autumn/winter 2020 runways in the form of rugby shirts at Gucci and fudgy cords at Prada, the late ’80s and ’90s look also has an off-duty master of the universe vibe that is both invigorating and revolting in equal measure.
