The '80s were arguably a simpler time for Prince Andrew. It was decades before his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein became front-page news, and he was still one of the most prominent senior royals. He also had yet to divorce his then-wife, Sarah, Duchess of York. Sarah and Andrew have always caused somewhat of a stir, whether it be with their wedding day balcony kiss or their choice to continue to live together at Royal Lodge post-breakup. Whatever the matter, they have always presented a united front, which could explain their bold and beautiful tartan couple's look in 1987.
For their official visit to Scotland, the pair thought they would dress accordingly, with Andrew wearing a kilt that matched Sarah's skirt. The blue and orange pattern looked very dashing, especially when paired with navy blazers. Of course, Sarah's jacket was perfectly fitted and had giant shoulder pads, which were very on-trend at the time. She accentuated her strawberry blond tresses with a big bow pinned to the back and wore subtle jewelry.
As for Andrew, he looked delighted to be wearing the getup, pairing the look with knee-length socks with red detailing. Whether he looks as good as his brother, King Charles III, in tartan is up for debate, but you certainly can't blame him for trying. It's a dedicated and unwavering couple's outfit that will go down in history as a true testament to '80s royal fashion.
