The fisherman aesthetic is having a moment, to put it mildly, but those with old money sensibilities have been living with it for generations, sporting weathered knits, salt-washed trousers, and perfectly battered Barbours at their seaside second homes long before even coastal grandmother was just a twinkle in the internet's eye. In this episode of Awkward Etiquette, Kiki Astor, your old money internet Auntie and the romance author who singlehandedly introduced the hot fishmonger trope, dives deep (pardon the pun) into looking and living effortlessly nautical without veering dangerously close to cliché. We'll be having a conversation on authenticity over aspiration, touch on iconic garments that whisper deadly chic, not deadliest catch, explain the high-low blend that takes your decor from tacky tidal to maritime fabulous, and generally how to achieve the perfect balance, so you're charmingly nautical but never nouveau.
