From corduroy overalls to plaid blazers, these iconic outfits from the classic 1980 horror film will inspire you to do some socially-distanced thrifting.
For a Zoom class…
All Zoom and no play often means sweatpants every day. But the queen of quarantine fashion, Wendy Torrance, is here to show us how it’s done. By layering a bright red blouse with matching tights under a loose gingham frock, she achieves an at-home fit that is comfy and cute.
For a (masked) trip to Trader Joe’s…
Perusing the halls of the Overlook Hotel, Danny Torrance mimics his mom’s eclectic aesthetic in these playful sweaters. Throw on a kitschy jumper over a collared shirt to be all the rage at your local TJ’s. Find funky sweaters at your local thrift shop, on Depop, or order one from Kina and Tam!
For a socially-distanced coffee date…
My girl Winnifred is always styling, even when her man is trying to kill her! The beige turtleneck. The oversized-forest-green-plaid shirt. The brown corduroy overalls. So effortless, so woodsy. And little Daniel?! The red shirt and blue overalls is a classic American ensemble that’s not worn enough these days. So, rock your favorite overalls, sip on some coffee, and…who knows? Maybe your date will willingly join you in quarantine.
For a virtual interview…
Heeeere’s Johnny (wearing a really cute blazer). The Torrance family might not have figured out the whole staying-sane-in-isolation thing, but they sure do know how layer clothes. Both of these minimalistic outfits are ideal for a Zoom job interview!
For positive energy…
When staying inside all day, it’s easy to get blue. Adding pieces to your wardrobe that make you feel happy is a form of self-care. Wendy’s embroidered yellow cardigan is a perfect example of a timeless item, made to brighten up the loneliest of days.
For an afternoon walk…
Between Wendy’s groovy red puffer and Danny’s British-inspired jacket, their stroll through the maze is a stellar outerwear moment. Both looks are classic and will never go out of style. May your future walks be just as fashionable as those of this dynamic mother-son duo.
