The 19-year-old shares her least favorite '90s trends, plus the essential style lessons she learned from Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington.
Author:Fawnia Soo HooUpdated:Mar 27, 2020Original:Mar 27, 2020We all buy clothes, but no two people shop the same. It can be a social experience, and a deeply personal one; at times, it can be impulsive and entertaining, at others, purpose-driven, a chore. Where do you shop? When do you shop? How do you decide what you need, how much to spend and what's "you"? These are some of the questions we're putting to prominent figures in our column "How I Shop.
"The accessories of that time were so funny to me, like the little childlike butterfly clips," says Pettyjohn about the now-cycled back trend. "I probably wouldn't wear the butterfly clips now to the degree that my character loved them." Prior to sharing scenes with Witherspoon and Kerry Washington in "Little Fires Everywhere," Pettyjohn racked up an impressive portfolio, including "School of Rock" on Nickelodeon and the HBO series "The Righteous Gemstones." On the big screen, she's played the daughter of other Hollywood powerhouses and style icons: Laura Dern in "Trial by Fire" and Nicole Kidman in "Destroyer.
"My personal style is definitely very, very different from Lexie's: minimalistic, but very artistic and comfortable. I like things that make me feel comfortable and powerful as a woman and an artist. A good pair of jeans and a really badass pair of heels is what does that for me. I love a good pair of Levi's 501s with a cool white T-shirt and a leather jacket. Then you can always wear a pair of heels or some kicks, depending on the mood.
"I'm definitely a shopping in-store kind of girl because I think the most exciting thing about fashion is the surprises. You look at something on a rack and think, 'Oh, I don't know if I can pull that off' and you try it on and it's suddenly magic. "It's not vintage, but my friend started this leather jacket company called The Mighty Company. I have quite a few of those because they're colorful and interesting, so you can wear them with really anything. I just try and find jackets that have a lot of life to them. That's why I love recycled and thrifted clothes: not only because it's sustainable and better for the environment, but also it actually has a story to it.
