The Exaggerated Preppy Style of ‘Sirens’

The Exaggerated Preppy Style of ‘Sirens’
SHARE

The new Netflix series, Sirens, introduces viewers to the exclusive island of Port Haven, where the residents are clad in bold printed dresses, madras shorts, and Nantucket reds. Upon her arrival, Meghann Fahy’s character, Devon, can’t help but comment on the vibrant attire of the islanders, likening them to Easter eggs.

The show’s costume designer, Caroline Duncan, drew inspiration from iconic New England vacation destinations like Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard to create the exaggerated preppy aesthetic of Port Haven. Women sport Lilly Pulitzer-style shift dresses and headbands, while men don colorful blazers adorned with ducks and lobsters, as well as a plethora of Brooks Brothers attire. In contrast, outsiders like Devon are distinguished by their edgier style, with combat boots, tattoos, and heavy eyeliner setting them apart from the pastel-clad elite.

Duncan delved into the world of WASP culture by consulting The Official Preppy Handbook, a humorous guide to the sartorial codes of the upper crust. From the appropriate toe shapes of boater shoes to the distinctions between madras and windowpane prints, the costume department meticulously followed the handbook’s rules to capture the essence of Port Haven’s elite summer enclave.

In Sirens, the visual contrast between the island’s residents and outsiders serves as a clear indicator of social status. Pastel hues signify belonging and privilege, while black attire marks one as an outsider. The exaggerated portrayal of preppy fashion in the series adds a comedic element, emphasizing the divide between the island’s wealthy inhabitants and those who don’t quite fit into their world.

As viewers immerse themselves in the colorful and campy world of Sirens, they can appreciate the attention to detail in the costume design, which elevates the storytelling and adds depth to the characters. Whether you’re a fan of preppy style or prefer a more rebellious aesthetic, Sirens offers a visual feast that is sure to captivate audiences.
