The Signature Aesthetic of Aimé Leon Dore: A Blend of Preppy, Normcore, and Workwear Influences
Discovering the Perfect Blend of Tailored Sophistication and Casual Comfort for the Modern American Style

“Signature Prep Athleisure Aesthetic:
Aimé has carved out a distinct aesthetic, building on their own house codes with every drop, collaboration, and collection. It’s a bit preppy (with its collegiate, traditional staples), one part normcore (sweats, New Balances, the 90s inspired denim and silhouettes), throw in some workwear inspirations, and some Saville Row undertones—and that’s the signature Aimé aesthetic.”
Running thru the list of favorite brands and why - with a passion for story-telling none other stood out to me about the lookbook and style of Amié Leon Dore.
The Lookbook Captures the New American with a meticulous detail to styling - combining tailored & and polished relaxed "basics" - schooling us how to dress with personal relaxed and smart style for modern America - the use of colors, textures and layering creates the perfect commercial and innovative approach -- smart streetwear aesthetic blends tailored sophistication and casual comfort, catering to individuals who value both style and ease.
After several years of watching and admiring the look-books I wandered into my first in-store experience while home in London… Thank you for your work - came to mind - a comfortable and stylish take on everything they seem to touch! Here are some of my top picks from AW23, and can’t wait for the next drop!
Everything is so well made, tasteful beyond and the one item not online at the time of writing this was the Cream Colored Cord Suit! The styling makes me need one!
