Say hi to Sloan Peterson
By Lucy Glen, 28 June 2017
Sloan Peterson is the moniker of 24-year-old Sydney musician, Joe Jackson, who's about to be your vintage-style hero. Sloan's debut self-titled EP is released in July and she will perform in Sydney at live music showcase 'Red Bull Sound Select' in June. Knowing she's had a love of retro style influences since the age of 16 (both in clothes and tunes), we asked her to select five items from ASOS Marketplace, with styling recommendations. She might have a stage name inspired by Ferris Bueller's angelic girlfriend, but her look is more elegant French New Wave than Eighties-with-attitude, as you'll discover from her picks below...

Get shirty
"I chose this floral button-up because I loved the print; the colours are a great orange, cream and brown. If I were to wear this, I would style it with an A-line corduroy or suede mini skirt with thin opaque black stockings and little leather loafer-style shoes with any kind of gold buckle on them". J'adore!

In the black
"I used to have one of these and then regrettably threw it out! This would be an all black kind of outfit for me - either a high-waisted black skirt with a bralette underneath and the shirt bagging over top or tucked in, with chandelier 60s-style earrings and a leather jacket or fur coat."

Dresses for days
"I love dresses, generally because you don’t have to think about two options to wear (tops and bottoms). Dresses are easy to move in and easy to wear. I would pair this dress with knee-high heeled boots with a black headband to match the black tie around the collar".

Vintage staple
"Everybody needs a classic tartan plaid flare skirt, it’s a staple! I have been looking for a good one of these for a while to wear with my black turtleneck skivvy and black boots for winter. I would also wear my floor length 70s style leather jacket with fur around the bottom and neck. I would basically style it in exactly the way they have in this image".
Picture:
The summer slip
"This would be more a summer outfit for me. I would either wear it with a white t-shirt underneath or a crocheted light jacket in black. I would finish the look with a black velvet choker and 60s-style cork/black slip-on heeled shoes. I used to get my mum to make this exact dress for me when I was younger in different floral prints".
