American Style: The Look and Legacy of JFK Jr.

Once dubbed the Sexiest Man Alive by People magazine, John F. Kennedy Jr. exuded an approachable yet singular style that made him a true fashion icon, with a distinct combination of Ivy League, American sportswear, and ’90s street style.

Riding his bike through Manhattan, in his ubiquitous flat cap and sunglasses. Walking his dog, Friday, in TriBeCa in understated khaki shorts, a bright yellow T-shirt, and brown leather sandals alongside his wife, Carolyn Bessette Kennedy. Or dressing up for a black-tie gala with an unmatched confidence and flair. He was one of a kind.

Organized by theme—A Man About Town, Suited Up, Off Duty, and more—with reflections from insiders and contemporaries on JFK Jr.’s life and influences, American Style is a highly visual ode to the man whose personal style and legacy continue to fascinate and inspire.
