Fans of the Amazon Prime original series Daisy Jones & the Six (which premiered in March) know that it’s not just the Fleetwood Mac-inspired music or the real-life Sunset Strip shooting locations that set the tone for the show. It’s also the ‘70s fashion that gives it a distinct sense of time and place. The fringed vests, peasant dresses, flared pants and crochet tops worn by the women leads on the show also communicate important aspects of the characters as their stories develop.

Of course, it probably comes as no surprise to many viewers that much of Daisy Jones’ (Riley Keough) bohemian style is inspired by Fleetwood Mac’s Stevie Nicks. Costume designer Denise Wingate shared that Daisy’s onscreen style is a blend of Nicks, Cher, and Linda Ronstadt. Some of her more memorable outfits are also taken straight from the descriptions in Taylor Jenkins Reid’s book of the same name that serves as the basis for the show.
Karen Sirko’s (Suki Waterhouse) edgier, darker look is drawn from artists Patti Smith, Suzi Quatro and Marc Bolan, according to an interview Wingate gave to Footwear News. The look for Camila Dunne (Camila Morrone), who dons several long-sleeve floral dresses throughout the show’s run, was largely inspired by Ali MacGraw.
For viewers who love the vintage-inspired looks on the show and want to bring those styles to their own closet, Free People in March dropped a new capsule collection ($14 to $1,140) inspired by Daisy Jones and the Six. Many of the new pieces are modeled by Keough herself — and most of the ensembles are still available online for those who want to channel their favorite characters this summer.
Amazon also has an online storefront dedicated to show-inspired style. In addition to a curated selection of pieces inspired by each character, the e-tailer also offers nail polish from Essie and hair color by Clairol.

How to Dress Like Karen Sirko from Daisy Jones & The Six
While Daisy’s fashion choices tend to be bohemian, Karen’s looks tend to be a little bit more reserved. In the book, she describes herself as wearing “high-waisted jeans and turtlenecks most of the time.” While the onscreen adaptation gives her a little more variety, Karen’s style choices tend to be more subdued than the other female characters in the show, while still feeling appropriate for the setting.
The Look: Karen’s On-Stage Style
When viewers (and the Dunne Brothers, later known as The Six) first see Karen, she’s wearing a shimmery black striped turtleneck, velvet pants and a silver western-inspired necklace.

How to Dress Like Camila Dunne: Shop the Best Looks
Like Daisy, Camila Dunne tends to favor dresses and tops with a lot of movement and patterns.

In several scenes throughout the show, she wears ’70s-inspired peasant dresses with floral and paisley prints.
The Look: Camila in the Canyon
Shortly after giving birth to their daughter Julia, Camila wears this long-sleeve patterned dress. Free People has several Daisy Jones-inspired items in their capsule collection with similar silhouettes and patterns.
