The 90s are often derided as one of the most cringe-inducing decades in menswear – think baggy jeans, baseball caps worn backwards, Seinfeld and Joey Tribbiani from Friends. One male figure, however, always looked on point: John F. Kennedy Jr. The son of the late JFK – the 35th US president, who was assassinated in 1963 – is the subject of FX series Love Story, in which he is played by Paul Anthony Kelly.The show focuses on JFK Jr’s marriage to the glamorous Carolyn Bessette Kennedy and their premature demise in July 1999, in a plane crash near Martha’s Vineyard. It also highlights the lawyer, magazine publisher and journalist’s impeccable style.
Whether he was riding a bicycle in the busy streets of Manhattan, dressing up in a very 90s pinstriped suit or walking his dog in Massachusetts, JFK Jr embodied chic American preppy style – backwards baseball cap be damned.
