Aviator Style

Lately I have been loving aviator-inspired style!

Lately I have been loving aviator-inspired style!  It’s such a classy blend of retro and modern, representing a chic period of American history when people were adventurous, optimistic, patriotic, and willing to take risks.  Amelia Earhart embodied all of these traits, smashing stereotypes and becoming a symbol to the world that the role and image of the American woman had changed forever.  Aviator style brings all of these various ideas to mind and, at the same time, looks fantastic.

Leather flat, Giuseppe Zanotti Design. Love the aviator-style details.

Aviator style doesn’t have to be limited to fashion; it can also inspire interior design.  Aged leather, sleek metallics, and details such as rivets create a look that is retro, chic, and memorable.
