How to Dress Like a Bond Girl

Leave a reply

If you are dressing like a Bond girl for an event or just because you admire the way they look, there are several ways to capture the look that the typical Bond girl exudes. You may have noticed how they all look very stylish and always impeccably elegant. This is the main look that Bond girls are known for and this is the one that you can imitate for your own Bond girl look.

Dresses

To dress like a Bond girl look, skip the pants. You will need to wear the most elegant dress you can that shows off your figure. Most of the time these dresses are very long for a look that is classic, but they also have plenty of details to show off some skin. The dress should have a very low-cut neckline to look like a real Bond girl dress. It might also have a very low-cut back. The dress should generally also have a long slit in the side to show off your legs. For an over-the-top look, pair a brightly-colored garter with the dress that will be visible through the slit in the side. If you are wearing this look to a costume event, place a toy gun in the garter for a dangerous edge to your look.

There are a few colors that are perfect for a Bond girl dress. The best color is a plain black dress without any pattern or colored details. Another great color for your dress is a bright, fire engine red that makes heads turn when you walk in the room. Again, keep it solid colored and without any contrasting details. Another possibility is a gold dress for an homage to the 70s Bond girls or as a reference to the movie Goldfinger.

Shoes

No matter what you wear as a Bond girl, always pair it with stiletto heels. A strappy heel is fine, but a pair of ultra-high stiletto pumps will work best. If you are wearing red, you can pair your dress with a pair of red heels. Any other colors that you wear will likely look best with black heels. Get the best quality shoes that you can in order to make the look as authentic as possible. Bond girls are known for their high-priced clothing, shoes and accessories

Purse

Pair your outfit with a small clutch purse. A bond girl doesn’t want to be overburdened with a large shoulder bag. Bond girls usually have very small clutch purses. If you have a clutch purse with any type of sparkles on it, it will work perfectly with the overall look. If you carry a shoulder bag, keep it small and sparkly as well. Stay away from glitter and instead look for purses that have sequins or metallic details.

Jewlery

Wear a few glittery pieces of jewelry with the outfit for the right finishing touch. If you have any diamonds, these will work well for a Bond girl look. You might also use some glittery fakes to add a little sparkle to your outfit.

How To Dress Like A Rich Person

Rich

Rich people have no clue how a normal, everyday person dresses or even where they get their clothes. Normal people don’t have personal shoppers or even much help at the store when buying their clothes. If you want to dress like a rich person, here are some tips and advice to help make everyone think you’ve got money coming out of your, well, ears.

Before we get into that, one thing you must understand, rich people do not, in any way, consider the full life value of a piece of clothing. While you and I may look at a pair of jeans we’ve had for 5 or 6 years and think, “Yay comfy.” A rich person looks at an article of clothing that is 2 weeks old and says, “Eww, that old thing?”

This means you have to think expensive looking, brand new looking, never been worn before looking or you won’t pull it off at all. With that said, here’s how you do it:

1)    You need a few pieces of high quality clothing that looks brand new. To do this, go to department store and look for sales, clearance items and surplus clothing stores. You’ll need at least 2 or 3 shirts or blouses, 2 pairs of pants and a couple pairs of shoes.
2)    When buying your clothing avoid polyester like it’s got the plague! Look for silk, cotton, wool, linen, angora and cashmere.
3)    Accessorize like there’s no tomorrow. You can take the same two outfits and with proper accessories make a lot more looks that work. Some things to get are sunglasses, rings, earrings, bracelets, necklaces, watches and handbags, for the lady that is. Gents, you need watches, rings, sunglasses and cuffs. Look for stylish but be less concerned about materials. A fake pearl necklace in darker light looks just as good as a real one.
4)    They say shoes make the man, or woman and in this case it is so very true. The shoes you choose much be quality footwear and made from either leather or something of equal quality, Women, when choosing your shoes think of your outfit, they must go together.
5)    Your appearance hinges not only on your clothing but also on your personal grooming habits. For the men you have to keep your hair cut and styled and if you choose to grow facial hair, it must be neat, groomed and have clean lines to it. For the women, your hairstyle has to compliment your facial features. A manicure, white even teeth and good skin care is a must as well for men and women.

Lastly, to really complete that rich person look, you need to be in shape. Rich people have personal trainers, who drive them to work out and eat healthy, well most of them do. Whether you think is politically correct or not, the healthier you look the richer you look especially once you get all the clothing and grooming completed. Stick with those tips and you’ll have everyone thinking you got money coming out of your ears, too.

Grease John Travolta

How to Dress Like John Travolta in Grease

Grease John Travolta

In 1978 the cult classic musical movie Grease came out. Still today you can go to any Karaoke Bar and be “treated” to a number of people attempting the duets made famous by Olivia Newton John and John Travolta in the movie. Travolta’s character in the movie was Danny Zuko, a teenage kid in a “gang” called the T-Birds who did little more than hang out after school and work on hot rods. Zuko is what is known as a “greaser” and his look is classic and easily achieved.

In the movie Grease, Travolta brought the Danny Zuko character to life with a very simple wardrobe. With the exception of a couple of scenes in the movie, Travolta always dressed in the typical greaser fashion.

Begin with the shirt. All the greasers including Travolta wore only white t-shirts. The t-shirts were just a regular undershirt –crew cut- and were trademarked with a pack of cigarettes rolled up in the sleeve. If you don’t smoke you can accomplish the same look with a deck of cards. The shirt should be a little loose, but not to the point where it puffs up around you. Oddly enough, Travolta always tucked in his T-shirt in the movie.

The jeans worn by Travolta were either a dark blue or black color with the occasional lighter blue. Make sure you get jeans that fit snug, but don’t go crazy and wear skinny jeans. The jeans should be longer than you would normally wear so that you can role the bottoms several times in a flip motion. The role should be about two inches high. The belt that is worn should have a non-flashy buckle and be black in color.

Wear white socks and a pair of black shoes. The shoes should not be too dressy but not too casual either. A pair of Sketcher-type shoes will suffice. Make sure that the shoes are lace-up shoes and not slip-ons.

Most importantly to achieve the look you will need a good leather jacket. The jacket has to be black and should not be long in length. Avoid fancy leather jackets that have all kinds of buckles and zippers and keep the style of the jacket very plain. You can take the fashion all the way by getting “T-Birds” embroidered on the back of your leather jacket if you wish. Whatever you do, never zip up the jacket in any capacity as this was a greaser no-no for Travolta’s character.

Now that you have the style down the rest is a breeze. Simply get a can of “grease” and slick back your hair. Bring a comb with you as a true greaser always combs his hair every chance he gets. You also need to get a pair of dark sunglasses to wear.

Don’t forget the bad boy walk and the cheesy Italian New York accent. Why the accent is one of New York is a mystery as the film was supposed to be taking place in California. Now you can go out and live the greaser way with your new “Travolta fashion” and proudly proclaim, “Grease is the word.”

Don’t Make Things Complicated, Dress like Avril Lavigne

Leave a reply

Everyone thinks that they have their own personal style. For the most part, people wear things and design their wardrobes based on what they like. However, everyone has fashion influences and usually they come from their favorite musicians, movie stars, and other fashion icons that give them inspiration. Of course, you can’t look exactly like your fashion muse. But you can certainly work to pin down the essence of their look.

Avril Lavigne has made a name for herself in the music industry. She’s a petite little gal, but she’s got a big voice. She’s always inspired tons of her fans and followers to be true to themselves and not just follow the pack. But if she wanted her listeners to be unique, she should have made an effort to not always look so cool. Now, most of her fans just want to look and dress like Avril Lavigne.

However, you have to give Avril some credit for making it pretty easy for her fans to achieve her signature look. Instead of bashing around Hollywood wearing the most expensive duds, Avril likes to keep it pretty basic. It just goes to show that you can look pretty fabulous without a wardrobe that costs more than a small L.A. loft.

Avril likes to carry off a serious punk look with just a few simple ingredients. All you need to dress like Avril Lavigne is a t-shirt, some baggy pants, and some serious black eyeliner. Within minutes, you’ll look like one of Avril’s entourage that strayed from the tour bus. Who knew that such a hip urban look could be so easy and simple to recreate.

However, the trick to pulling off the essence of Avril is to be yourself and put your own twist on the overall look. Avril herself wouldn’t want you to look just like her. She’d want you to be yourself. With that, custom printing your own personally designed t-shirts is a great way to achieve the ultimate Avril Lavigne look.
With the help of a custom t-shirt printing company, your personal artwork, designs, or ideas can come to life on the front—or back—of a t-shirt. All you have to do is create a concept for the shirt, submit it to the t-shirt printer, and you can have an entirely unique shirt in your closet in no time. In fact, you’ll be able to create shirts that are so cool that your friends will want to dress like you instead of Avril.

Avril wouldn’t want you to make things complicated. Keep it simple with a style that consists of your own personally designed, custom printed t-shirts and you’ll have a look that even the ultra famous and successful Avril Lavigne would be proud of.

After all, if you’re going to dress like a celebrity, it’s always best to choose one that is down to earth and understands the power of the t-shirt. To dress like Avril Lavigne, tap into your creative side and design your very own t-shirts.

How to Dress Like a Stereotypical Hippie

Leave a reply

Hippies were all about peace and love in the 1970s. They were fun-loving, war-hating, drug dealing sweethearts that eventually became CEOs of the major corporations that they despised. Somewhere in the magic of the 70s, hippies developed their own brand of fashion. It was a convenience, easy style that still inspires two generations later.

If you weren’t around in the 70s, you may only be relying on old photos, television, or other people’s memories to understand hippie fashion. Comfort was the primary emphasis for hippie fashion. They weren’t interested in very structured looks. Their clothing and appearance was very free-flowing and open. Of course, hippies were also counter-culture. They sought to do what was different from mainstream society. Hippies would never have worn a suit and tie. They would never cut their hair. They were peaceful, but dogmatic rebels.

Hippie men always wore beards. As mentioned previously, they never cut their hair. Most hippies sported long, straight hair that fell below their shoulders. Hair was never dyed. If you are looking to create a temporary hippie look, and cannot wait the months or years it will take to grow a beard and long hair, you should buy a wig or glue on beard. This combination will give you an instantly recognizable hippie look. You cannot look like a hippie without long hair or an afro if you have kinky curly hair.

Hair is a big part of the hippie look, so it won’t surprise you to learn that hippies also exposed their chest hair. No shaving for hippies, and this one applies to women as well! It should be noted, though, that women did not intentionally expose chest hair, if they had it.

As for clothes, hippie men wore bell bottoms pants. Look for jeans with huge bell bottoms, preferably skinny in the thighs. The jeans should not be perfectly intact. Most hippies wore holes in jeans, sandals, and everything else. Iron on patches onto your jeans. Hippies wore patches like peace signs and butterflies. Patches like these can be purchased at your local fabric store.

Women also wear bell bottom jeans with ironed on patches. If you want to look more feminine, wear a long, flowing dress, or a peasant skirt. Hippie women loved bohemian clothes, especially the peasant blouses and skirts with printed designs on them. Sometimes, hippies wore mini-skirts or mini-dresses.

Hippie women looked similar to men with long, straight hair. They would add freshly picked flowers to their hair. Some hippie women would take several daisies, or similar flowers, are string them together, creating a band. They would then wear the flower band around their hair. Fabric head bands were also popular, along with head scarves.

Both men and women wore tie dye t-shirts. It was economic, easy to create, and always individual. Hippies always wore sandals or flip flops whenever possible, and in the winter, they wore boots. Women wore boots also, with their dresses. Women never wore high heels. Make sure you wear the flattest shoes possible to carry off this look. Always get into the easy-going spirit whenever you dress like a hippie, because that’s the most important part of the equation.

How To Dress Like A Socialite

Leave a reply

Have you ever seen a picture of someone like Paris Hilton who is incredibly popular? Have you ever wanted to look like someone who is a socialite like her? Well you are in luck as I have some perfect tips on how to get that look down so you can be the popular social butterfly you know you want to be.

The first thing you need to do is look like a socialite:

1)    Keep up with all the latest trends and watch shows that are always fashion forward, read fashion magazines and always look for ways to be stylish and on the go. Try to emulate these styles as much as you can.
2)    You have to have some good-looking jewelry, notice I did not say expensive, just good looking. The more bling the better for a socialite.
3)    Get yourself some big, fashionable sunglasses and handbags as well. Every socialite has a cute little designer handbag.
4)    Get a pocket pet. You know those tiny little dogs that fit perfectly in your handbag.

Now that you have that part done, being a socialite is not just about the look; it’s about the attitude and how you carry yourself. You have to ooze confidence and let everyone know you are, in fact, all that. One way to do this is to talk to everyone, everywhere and if you think they are ok, make them your friend. They don’t have to consider you a friend, but a socialite has friends everywhere.

Smile to everyone and make it a genuine big smile and if something pops into your head, just say it. This is what a socialite does; they speak their mind out loud and don’t care who hears them. This puts the focus on you and that is what you want. It’s all about you, you, and you so play that up as much as you can.

When you do meet someone new, exchange digits with him or her. This gives you a broader base of people who can hang out with you and invite you places thus increasing your exposure to the world. If you run into someone you have met before, the standard socialite greeting are air kisses near the cheek.

Now onto the attitude because what we have talked about so far are just the mechanics of dressing like a socialite. You need drama and that drama has to be all about you in one way or another. Cause a scene now and then, do something outrageous and crazy at a party once in a while. This keeps people talking about you and your legend will grow.

You also have to have an attitude and not be afraid to show it in public. If someone does something you don’t like, throw a little fit and remember that a socialite never allows someone else to be nasty or get the better of him or her in a social situation.

The last thing is to be a trendsetter. A socialite is all about the latest everything, fashion, music, clubs, and food. You want to be the one that people emulate because you are so freaking awesome and cool.

How to Dress Like Jeff Hardy

Jeff Hardy is one of the best known wrestlers to young WWE fans. His style is a combination of over-the-top 80s wrestler style and the more modern, more subdued style of professional wrestlers. Because his clothes are fairly simple, it’s easy to copy his over-the-top style and get a look that screams Jeff Hardy.

Pants

Because he so often wears nothing but pants, it’s important to get his pants look correct. Jeff Hardy prefers very brightly colored pants to get the attention of everyone in the audience when he’s in the ring. This also translates into a look that he carries over outside of the ring. Look for pants that have bright patterns in highly contrasting colors. Contrasts such as black and pink, black and yellow, and yellow and green are highly contrasting and are easily visible from long distances away. Find pants and patterns that use these colors and you’ll be on your way to achieving Jeff Hardy style.

Make sure that any pants you wear are very, very baggy. The best type to wear are pants that have a loose, drawstring waist. Look for cotton pants that will flow well and will not cling to your legs.

Arm Accessories

Other than his pants, Jeff Hardy is very well known for his arm decorations. These arm decorations are usually black, and they usually have some type of fringe or other adornments on them. They can be made with black strips of fabric tied around the arm loosely all the way up to the elbows. They might also be made by cutting the sleeves off a long-sleeved black t-shirt and cutting large holes in the sleeves and wearing them without a shirt.

Sometimes, Jeff Hardy does wear white arm accessories. These are constructed in much the same way as the black ones. Sometimes they are sheer black. Sheer black arm accessories can be made from an old pair of black pantyhose. Make sure to cut holes up-and-down the length of the arm accessory in order to make it more realistic. There are times when he uses black underneath the white with holes cut in the white to show off circles of black. These arm accessories will be more difficult to construct, but they will showcase typical Jeff Hardy style. The WWEshop website has some replica versions available for purchase for those who don’t want to make their own. If you have a pair of armbands and a pair of bright pants, you already have the look of Jeff Hardy.

Shirts

When Jeff Hardy does wear a shirt, it’s usually a tank top. He prefers white tank tops but sometimes wears T-shirts. Sometimes, he wears a sheer shirt that shows off his pecs. His sheer shirts have a seam down each side. Sometimes he wears black tank tops with very thin straps. These have spaghetti straps on top to show off the most muscle possible.

For inspiration, there are many Jeff Hardy style T-shirts in the WWEshop website. These have wild color combinations just like Jeff Hardy wears, and many of them have Jeff Hardy’s picture on them.

How To Dress Like An Urban Hipster

Urban hipster

What is an urban hipster you may ask? An urban hipster is someone who is in their twenties, doesn’t have any serious responsibilities as of yet and are free to enjoy life. Their style tells the world that they are an anything goes kind of person and in this sense they often spawn new fashion styles.

Well, that’s great for them you say but I have responsibilities and a job and bills and all that stress and junk. That’s okay; you don’t have to be an urban hipster to dress like an urban hipster. You just have to look like it and be able to pull off the mindset every now and then.

Here’s how you do it, and just a note, this works on skinny people and is hard to pull off if you are really overweight and that’s not being mean, it’s just the way this style works:

1)    The first thing to learn is that anything goes with anything. The only rule is that you are not a slave to current trends or fashion magazines. You make the fashion you like and who cares if anyone likes as long as you do.
2)    This style, or anti-style should leave you looking mismatched yet, strangely adorable.
3)    Jeans should be tight fitting and of almost any color you can think of other than light blue. Black, neon or dark wash colors are perfect.
4)    Your shoes should be motorcycle boots, vintage heels, ballet flats or the always classis black and white check Converse.
5)    The shirt should go almost the opposite direction of the pants. You want something that has a little more flow to it and is a bit longer than usual. We aren’t talking down to your knees here, but past the waist is a good call. Men’s shirts work great for this look if you are a woman.
6)    If you don’t feel like doing jeans, leggings are another great way to go. Couple it with a short, tight fitting skirt that has an interesting pattern at the bottom. Wearing big boots caps off the look perfectly.
7)    Now you have to accessorize and you need to do so heavily. When you are looking for these types of things do not think modern at all, we are heading back to the 80’s for this with a ton of rubber ring bracelets and big beady necklaces. Also, kids stuff like Hello Kitty are also perfect accessories.

Now just remember, if you are going for that urban hipster look, you have to ignore current trends completely. You do not follow trends, you make them without trying to make them, It just happens to be a side effect of the coolness and relaxed mentality and lifestyle you lead every day.

Almost forgot to talk about hair. You definitely want something that is not considered normal. If you hair is long, go for the tousled look or pull it into a ponytail. For shorter hair, the spiky look is always a winner as is the plastered around the face emo hairstyles.

How To Dress Like A Redneck

11 Replies

To dress like a redneck one must think like a redneck. How does a redneck think you ask? It’s rather simple and you need only consider three things, comfort, flannel and old. Redneck fashion is all bout functionality between work and home. Here are some tips so you can get your redneck look from top to bottom:

1)    Baseball caps – You need a solid color cap, red or black are the norm and it has to have either a logo on it that relates to sports, beer, tools, women, hunting or fishing. A new cap is a no go; it needs to be old or worn looking.
2)    T-shirts – T-shirts need to be worn and have to have something on them that supports a farming company, truck parts or something about being a redneck. When looking for a motif you should think along the same lines as the logos for the baseball cap.
3)    Flannel – It’s all about the flannel. Specifically red and black flannel because anything else is just not manly enough for a redneck. The shirt should look old and worn out and the thinner looking it is the better. If it’s summer time, cut those sleeves off and make sure it’s not a neat and tidy cut either.
4)    Belt Buckle – Your belt should sport a rather larger buckle; normally silver in color and the buckle should be related to something along the lines of the logos for the baseball cap. They don’t have to match; in fact, it’s better if they don’t.
5)    Pants – The pants are easy; jeans for every occasion! The jeans should look worn out and old and should not fit properly. As for a specific brand, you want to look for Wrangler, Levi’s or whatever the cheapest thing is on the thrift store rack. Don’t forget plumber’s crack, it’s an important fashion accessory.
6)    Shoes – Your shoes should reflect your rugged life and the fact that you do manual labor for a living. Thusly you need some work boots, or some really cheap sneakers. If you want to be a fashionista redneck, black leather boots that look as if you’ve been wearing them to a good few years is a must.
7)    Hairstyle – Brush and style your hair without the use of a mirror, this is important, or, if you just don’t want to do that, wear a baseball cap all day long and only take it off when you sleep. This will give you baseball cap hair and this is the mark of a true redneck.

Now if you are a woman, many of the same tips hold true for you as well aside from the baseball caps and the hair. Your hairstyle should be at least 20 years old, think big 80’s hair, bright blue eyes shadow and too much black eyeliner will complete the look. With the flannel, rolling up the bottom into a knot is a good way to keep cool in the summer.

How to Dress Like Indiana Jones

1 Reply

Indiana Jones has been a style icon for decades. Who else can accessorize with a bullwhip and still look like a cultured adventurer? His style is well known throughout the world for its iconic look. Anyone can get this look for a day of adventuring or even just a day spent doing nothing special.

The Hat

The man with the hat, as he is sometimes known, is very rarely seen without his fedora. It’s almost a character all its own in his movies, and no Indiana Jones outfit would be complete without one. His fedora is a brown leather hat with a thick brown band through the middle. It should be well weathered if you want to get the true Indy look down.

The Boots

Indiana Jones’ boots are made by a company called Alden, and they are the epitome of old-fashioned charm and quality. These are the boots that he wore in the films, and they are perfect for tromping through the jungle as well as sitting at a sidewalk café. No matter what Indiana Jones is doing, he is always at home in these thick leather boots. The color of the Indy boot that is now manufactured by Alden is slightly lighter in color than the ones on the movies, but the style is the same and the color is similar.

The Jacket

Indiana Jones’ looks would be incomplete without a thick leather jacket. He always wore a brown jacket that went with the rest of his brown and khaki clothing to create a complete look. This jacket is a consumer version of the original Indiana Jones leather jacket and is a perfect replica of the one worn in the movies. The original jacket that was worn has changed slightly throughout the movies and was in a noticeably different style in the last movie. The original jacket, however, does remain an iconic look that is necessary for any realistic Indiana Jones outfit.

Shirts and Pants

Indiana Jones stuck to a strict uniform of light khaki and browns. He usually wore a light khaki shirt that was a good fit for his brown pants and brown jacket. A similar shirt can be found from many designers as a part of a safari collection. The color khaki is popular enough in current clothing lines to make these plentiful. Stores like The Gap and Banana Republic often have plenty of khaki shirts and brown pants that would be suitable for an Indiana Jones outfit. Just look for the lighter khakis or tans rather than the more olive-toned shirts.

The brown pants that you choose should fit well without being too tight. Tight pants can make it hard to run across collapsing bridges and swing from ropes. The pants should have a slight break when you are sitting. They should not be so high that any ankle will be exposed when you are performing athletic maneuvers. They were made out of wool twill for the movies but a thick pair of cotton pants should serve as a suitable facsimile.

How To Dress Like A Tomboy

5 Replies

Are you a girl? Do you want to look like you’re just one of the guys so you can hang out and keep it simple? If this is true, then you want to dress like a tomboy. Here are some tips on how to achieve that look easily.

You’ll need to ditch all the girly clothes and leave them alone. Get yourself some sneakers, Nike, Vans, or Chucks are good and boots are also a good choice just not girly boots, we are talking Doc Marten or work boots here.

You will want some jeans that are comfortable, not low riders, or if it’s summertime, basketball shorts, cargo shorts or just regular old shorts that come down to your knees. Boys don’t wear short shorts, remember that and always avoid skirts of any kind.

When looking at shirts, you will need some t-shirts that are loose fitting and, generally plain looking. You can also throw a button down shirt over it that is also plain and be sure to roll up the sleeves. In the fall, flannel is a great choice for that. Last but not least, top it all off with a baseball cap of some kind.

When dressing like a Tomboy, you can’t just look like one you have to act like a boy. Do things like play video games, get into some sports, and be a bit more physical than a normal girl may be. Remember, Tomboy’s aren’t afraid to mix it up with the boys in football and things like that.

How you talk is also important. Things like “oh my gawd” and “oh no he didn’t” are not things that boys say, ever. Boys say things like “dude”, “man” and “awesome”; you can even combine these into, “dude, awesome!” Remember, girls and boys talk very differently and as for gossip, boys don’t really do it that much.

Yes, you can still have female friends just be sure not to dress like them or act like them otherwise your friends that are boys will start to avoid you. If for a reason you are in a situation where you have to wear dress, make sure it’s not overly girly at all and generally darker in color.

Boys are typically considered to be technology freaks, if you can plug it in, turn it on or have to update it from time to time they love it. This does not really apply to cell phones for some reason. Boys are not on their cell phone all the time texting their friends about everything that is happening.

Remember, boys are all about the immediate what’s going on now. They don’t put too much stock in what is happening tomorrow or the day before. They are generally about what they are currently doing so get into that mindset. They don’t gossip, they brag and they make fun of each other constantly and forget it two seconds later.

Last note, boy’s watch shows on TV like Family Guy, Robot Chicken and anime. They do not watch 90210, Gossip Girl or anything girlie like that. You shouldn’t either. Before you know it you will be just one of the guys.

How to Dress Like Jack Bauer

Leave a reply

The television show 24 is one of the most popular TV series on right now. The main character, Jack Bauer, is played by actor Kiefer Sutherland. When it comes to fashion Jack Bauer is a pretty cut and dry guy. But that’s what makes dressing like him so much fun; because it is easily achieved.

Because Jack Bauer dresses like a regular guy it is easy to achieve his look. But his look on the show changes with the situation he finds himself in. You can not only achieve one look for Jack Bauer, but you can base your look on what you are going to be doing.

If you are simply going to be casual most of the time you are in luck. Jack Bauer’s casual look rarely consists of anything more than a pair of regular fit jeans and a comfort-fit long or short sleeve t-shirt topped off with a dark colored lightweight jacket.

The shirts he wears are usually lighter brown and cream colors when worn with the jacket which is a dark brown color. If he is wearing just a shirt the colors tend to be on the darker side. Lots of dark gray and blacks will do the trick. Make sure that the shirts are fit snug to your body but not too tight. On the opposite side of the spectrum do not wear a shirt that is too big. Jack Bauer always wears a nice form fitting shirt but he never tucks them in. His jacket is never buttoned up and always opened –probably to allow easy access to his gun.–

Jack Bauer’s jeans are not tight but are also not to baggy. He seems to wear just a regular cut to a relaxed cut pair of jeans and his belts are either black or brown. He is always on the go and running after or away from bad guys, so it makes sense that his jeans need to be comfortable.

Finding yourself in a dressier situation is alright too as Jack Bauer often finds himself has to look snappy or professional at times on 24. Many times on the show Jack Bauer can be seen in a nice pair of dress pants with a long sleeve button down shirt and a sports blazer. His dress shirts are typically darker grays while his dress pants and sports blazer are usually charcoal or black in color.

Jack Bauer’s shoes will of course vary from situation to situation but they are always black in color. If you really want to complete the look you will need a black lightweight bullet proof vest worn over your shirt, but under your jacket. Add a gun and you have the real thing –though you may not want to carry a gun.–

Now complete the look by not shaving for a couple of days to achieve a nice scruff on your face. Keep your hair short if you want to totally look like Jack Bauer. Now you will have the look and feel of what it is like to be Jack Bauer –without all the bullets being shot at you.–

These are the flashy suits that have decorative piping and come in metallic colors in many cases. They love to wear light-colored suits with dark piping and dark suits with lighter details. To get the look of the Jonas Brothers suits, get a color scheme in mind first. They like light grays, whites and light neutral tones.

Then, find pieces that go together but that don’t necessarily match perfectly. Make sure your pants and jacket match, but keep the shirt and tie from being the exact same color. You might pair cotton or linen pants with a satin jacket like this one worn recently by one of the Jonas Brothers.

Ties

All three of the Jonas Brothers wear ties regularly. These ties can be striped or solid color. Most often, the ties have horizontal, slightly diagonal stripes. Choose neutral colors with your tie. While the occasional Jonas Brother may choose a red or orange tie, they generally wear neutrals colors rather than flashier ties. If you do choose a color, make sure it has diagonal stripes to go with the usual Jonas brother style. Also, make sure you don’t wear your tie tied too tightly. The Jonas Brothers love to loosen up their ties for a chic look but is also a little bit casual. They generally keep the buttons at the top of the collar and loosen the tie to match.

Shirts and Jackets

The Jonas Brothers favor button-up shirts in white and cream. They sometimes wear brown or maybe blue as well. Sometimes they choose striped shirts, and are fond of white shirts with light blue or gray stripes. The shirts can then be worn with a casual jacket if the Jonas Brothers are wearing suits at the time. The Jonas Brothers often wear casual jackets and colors with lots of beiges and browns. Sometimes the jackets are brown with beige accents, and sometimes they are maybe with lighter colored details.

If you don’t have a jacket on, roll up your sleeves. The Jonas Brothers are fond of the rolled-up sleeves look and often roll them up when they are in casual situations. For other casual occasions, they choose to wear crewneck t-shirts with dark pants or with jeans. They also wear a lot of vests with their t-shirts as well as with their suits. If you have a plain, casual t-shirt, pairing it with a neutral colored vest will make it look much more like a Jonas Brothers outfit. If you have a plaid flannel shirt, this will also work well it can be worn with a vest or jacket or on its own.

How to Dress Goth – More Than Just Black Clothes

Goth

If you want to dress goth, it’s important to understand the symbolism behind it all. Dressing goth is a way of expressing romanticism as well as darkness. For this reason, goth clothing is often a combination of casual black clothing and more formal attire. Some goth dressers wear evening wear regularly and dress shoes with every outfit to portray this romanticism. This isn’t the only way to dress goth however. As long as the right elements are there, the outfit will look goth.

Black

The most common color to wear in goth dressing is black. Many goths wear black from head to toe and even dye their hair black to match. However, it isn’t necessary to always wear all black. Other colors are perfectly acceptable in the goth world as well. Deep wine reds, dark purple, dark green and even white are also worn along with black. When wearing these colors, black is still usually the predominant color. A wine red skirt may be paired with a black shirt and black jacket to create the goth look.

Casual Wear

Shirts or jackets that resemble corsets are often desired in goth outfits. These are then worn with jeans or black pants. Many goths wear ripped up jeans in deep blue colors. T-shirts can be worn by goths, as long as the t-shirts are either plain black or have a black background with dark-colored printing on them.

For guys, the look is often expressed with black jeans and worn black t-shirts and jackets. For girls, black velvet usually plays a part somewhere in the look. A black velvet skirt can be paired with worn tennis shoes and dark t-shirts. When choosing a t-shirt, look for ones that have goth bands printed on them. Goth band shirts are an immediate sign that a person is into goth culture.

Anything with a skull on it is also a big of being goth. Skulls are popular right now and can be found printed on t-shirts, handbags, ties and even shoes. In particular, look for black items that have white printed skulls on them for the maximum contrast.

Shoes

Black tennis shoes are popular with goth dressers, but boots may be a more classic goth look. Black combat boots are a common sight among goth dressers. Any type of black leather boots from ankle boots to thigh-high boots will work with the goth look. Along with your black shoes, be sure to wear black socks. A contrasting sock color will stick out and not look the way a goth outfit should.

Silver

Any accessories should be black or silver. Gold jewelry of any kind is not a part of the goth look. Silver reminds goths of the moonlight, and it’s an important part of goth culture. Goths love to wear plenty of jewelry, including lots of silver bracelets and necklaces with meaningful pendants on them. Goths sometimes wear black studded collars on their necks or black studded bracelets. Plenty of silver rings are also important to the goth look. Any piercings should be outfitted with silver jewelry.

Hannah Montana is the character played by Miley Cyrus, and her style is very different from the real Miley’s. Hannah Montana is a performer, so she has a style all her own when it comes to the stage. She is a flashy dresser who has a showy stage persona and a wardrobe to back it up. Hannah Montana’s style may be flashy, but it doesn’t take a costume designer to create the look. By pairing the right pieces together, anyone can dress like Hannah Montana.

Make It Sparkle

One of the hallmarks of Hannah’s style is that there is plenty of metallic shine and glitter in her outfits. Any outfit can be made more like one of Hannah’s by adding some rhinestones, glitter or some metallic thread to it. Some silver or gold trim sewn onto the edges of jackets, at the cuffs of sleeves and at the end of a pair of pants will make your items look like something that Hannah would wear.

Although Hannah does wear silver pieces, she tends to prefer gold. She has many jackets and belts that are gold, trimmed with gold or that have gold details. Several of her jackets have a different background color with a gold pattern over that color.

Sequins are also a part of the big picture. If you can find a shirt that is covered in sequins, that’s a perfect way to create a Hannah look.

Jackets

It’s hard to have a real Hannah Montana look without wearing a jacket. Jackets are an integral part of the overall look, and they add some sparkle when worn correctly. The jackets she wears usually have some sparkling detail or metallic details like lots of rivets. The jackets are almost always short, coming up above the waist. Hannah has jackets in just about every color, including silver, gold, gold and white, black, gray, brown and yellow. Any jacket that has a lot of zippers and buttons is one that looks like Hannah’s style.  If you have a short jacket, add a few sparkling details and it could certainly be one that Hannah owns.

Shirts

Hannah Montana wears a lot of printed t-shirts. They are almost always brightly-colored, and they often have a large pattern on them. This t-shirt is one that was matched with a jacket with metallic details, a silver belt and a pair of black jeans. She has worn many similar shirts in other stripe colors, such as bright pink and black and red and white. Many times, her shirts are sleeveless or halter-top style.

Belts

Hannah loves to accessorize with belts. Her belts usually serve to add some sparkle to the outfit. The belts are usually in silver or gold, but she has also worn belts in purple, red, blue and black among other colors. The more elaborate and detailed the belt is- the better. Many of Hannah’s belts have a lot of intricate design including patterns and large details.  Wearing a dazzling belt is an inexpensive way to add some shine to any outfit and to make it look a little more like Hannah Montana’s.

How to Dress Like Selena Gomez

Selena Gomez loves wearing young, flirty clothing in which each piece has a little bit of flair. The type of clothing she prefers tends to be colored away from the neutral spectrum. She enjoys color and plenty of it. Selena has several different kinds of clothing choices, including dresses for appearances and photo shoots and her more casual clothing for every day wear and daytime appearances.

Evening Wear

When posing for the camera for evening events, Selena Gomez loves to wear frilly, feminine dresses with high heels. These outfits are always show stoppers with bright colors and large prints. Her dresses are often short or long enough to just cover the knee. The dresses are sometimes sleeveless, sometimes strapless and sometimes they have only one strap for an asymmetrical look. This dress was a big hit for the Teen Choice Awards. She paired silver high-heeled pumps with the dress for a bright look that was age appropriate and hard to forget.

Many of her patterned dresses are either plaid or polka dotted. The black, polka-doted mini-dress that she wore to the Teen Vogue Young Hollywood Party was in perfect signature Selena Gomez style. It used the large, bold pattern to attract attention and showed off her feminine style with the large bow and the ruffles. The front, like many of her dresses and outfits, was cut low.

Casual Wear

Selena Gomez prefers a low-maintenance casual style for daytime events that still manages to look feminine. She wears t-shirts that have ruffles and other feminine details to keep her style consistent even during the most casual events. She wore a WWF t-shirt to an event, but paired it with a thick belt to emphasize her waist.

Sometimes she wears striped hose or tights along with color-coordinated shorts and a ruffled top or t-shirt. This t-shirt is similar to one worn to a daytime premiere with its scooped neck and its feminine, lacy details on the front.

Selena wears skinny jeans when she chooses denim. These jeans have a highly-tapered leg and are tight at the knee. She often wears dark gray and dark blue jeans. Sometimes, she rolls up the ends into short cuffs. If you roll up your jeans, be sure to leave enough length so that there is some wrinkling of the pants if you want to play up the real Selena look.

Shorts and Hose

Along with t-shirts ands other casual shirts, she often wears shorts and pantyhose. These are often black for more formal occasions. Plain black shorts, that are worn very short, are paired with sheer black hose in several occasions. The hose sometimes have vertical black stripes that make her legs look longer. Anyone can have the same results by wearing striped tights and a pair of ultra-short shorts in a dark color. These can be paired with a pair of black high heels, as Selena Gomes often does. Or, they can be paired with a pair of dark Converse low-tops, as Selena occasionally does.
