Marvel and 1928 Jewelry Co. Launches Superheroic Jewelry Collection [link]

Just in time for the release of The Avengers and The Amazing Spider-Man films, Marvel Comics collaborated with 1928 Jewelry Co. to launch a jewelry and accessories collection inspired by some of Marvel’s finest heroes, including Captain America, Thor, Spider-Man, The Punisher, and Wolverine.

Check out the Marvel x 1928 Jewelry collaboration on ComicsAlliance!

I currently have my eye on the Spider-Man Web Bracelet & Spider Ring and the Thor Charms Crystal Dangle Earrings. Which items in the collection are you coveting?

megarinri: Green Arrow inspi sketch. Suggestions on how to achieve this look! Fem Ver: This one is a mix between Green Arrow’s YJ costume and old costume. Green hooded top. During the winter use a hoodie for extra warmth, for the cooler springs use a thin green hooded top or else you’ll get hot :O! Yellow scarf is op but it’s suppose to be his famous beard/goatee haha. Green trenchish jacket. I based the jacket off this: Click. Expensive but very cute and stylish jacket. Wear a classy skirt/shorts (not seen in drawing). Tights OP. Brown boots. I suggest those new in style super high-length boots (since those best represent GA) but it’s a very selective style boot. So any style boot would do great as well : ). Brown leather gloves is op. Those classy duffle style handbag op. Accessorize! Men ver: More based off his old style costume when Green Arrow has his hat. Sorry if it looks plain ;A;. I didn’t wanna over style it so it could look more everyday. But I will suggest more clothes in the text for a more complex look. I feel like I’ll have to redraw a new version eventually -U-. Kay guys time to grow a beard, jkjk definitely optional. Green cap or green paperboy hat (op but suggested). Green hooded trench/jacket. A green hoodie is also good. Bombers are also highly suggested but it might be a little hard to find them in green but I think a brown one will still be stylish. Green V-neck shirt (i know some guys really don’t like the V-neck look so that’s OP). A button up top would also work. Arrow necklace pointing towards the pants because, you know, Green Arrow (lololol my friend pointed it out OTL.) Necklace is very optional XD. Fitted pants will do, preferably the dark tannish shades.  Classy dark toned shoes. OP for green converses. Or op for boots (though I don’t know many guys who wear boots ;u;). Accessorize as pleased! (omg i promise the batman and superman men ver will look 10x more better ihope OTL).Inspi list has been updated, to see the list and current fashion inspi sketches please click here» Cliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick! These Green Arrow-inspired coordinates are great styling references for both Autumn and Spring looks. I love how Kat reinterpreted Green Arrow’s look for both women’s fashion and menswear, and how she utilized styling motifs between the two looks (hooded jackets, arrow accessories, olive brown accents). However, I can’t help but imagine that the ladies’ wear Green Arrow would work quite nicely as a Link-inspired outfit, as well :) Check out more of Kat’s superhero makeovers on her tumblr (and on Fashion Tips From Comic Strips)!

unicornsoutofprint asked: Hey! I love so many of the outfits that get featured here, they're so sharp. I'm curious, though; does this blog feature the occasional menswear version of comic strip themed outfits? I would love to see an inspirational look book of ways that I can be superhero-chic hahaha.

While my menswear posts aren’t nearly as frequent as I’d prefer, they can be found under my menswear tag :) Likewise, a fair amount of the t-shirts featured on FTFCS are available in both men’s and women’s sizes, and many of the accessories that I’ve posted are unisex.

I’m trying my best to expand my content to better suit my followers, so if any of you have any links, redesigns, outfits, etc, that is more aligned with menswear fashion, feel free to shoot me over a message or email me at: fashiontipsfromcomicstrips [at] gmail [dot] com

Thanks, in advance :D

Snikt Jacket, by Volante Design.

Volante Design debuted this Wolverine-inspired Snikt Jacket a couple weeks ago at New York Comic Con. The jacket also includes a removable hood (as featured in the concept art on the right). I love how this jacket combines both sportswear and structural elements within its sleek design.

For those of you interested in owning your own custom-made Snikt Jacket, feel free to send inquiries HERE or directly to info[at]enzovolante[dot]com.

Dark Knight Fashion Spread, by Ryuuka. “For this project we had to dress a female model in clothing inspired by a movie that had not been released. I got assigned The Dark Knight! (YES) I based her outfit on the joker because of Heath Ledger and all.” [link] The muted tones in this redesign of The Joker make way for an incredibly wearable ensemble; the dusky grey-green hair actually looks quite elegant with the delicate ruffled trim and the subdued purple of a menswear-inspired pin-striped suit.
