FASHION TIPS FROM COMIC STRIPS

Miss Martian inspi fashion sketch. Cute and sassy(maybeXD?).
Suggestions on how to achieve this look!

• Navy blue crop jacket. Be sure to button only the top so it give it that cape neck effect!
  
  • Yes it might be a little hard to find one with green lining so that’s a definite op. Secondly, yes it might be a little hard to find a crop jacket with short sleeves but possible!
• Any plain ol white tee.
• Red suspenders. It’s kinda funny because MM has the red X on the front of her costume but instead that’ll be on the back of this outfit. 
• Navy blue shorts.
• Green thigh highs. (Or you can use blue or two tone socks).
• Navy blue heels. Or you can op for flats or boots!
• Accessorize!

Thanks everyone for the messages, likes, reblogs, suggestions, and follows : )!

Be fashionable and let the nerd in you shine at the same time :D!
If anyone creates any of these designs IRL, I’d love to see pictures. I totally understand if you don’t wanna be in it because I don’t like getting pictures taken of me XDD.

As you can tell I like crop jackets, shorts, and thi-high socks XD. Perhaps it’s the coming beautiful warm weather that’s putting me in the mood… and I just love thi-highs. But you know these are only suggestions so if you don’t like shorts and skirts, pants are just as great.

Also soon enough I’ll link online stores where you can buy some of these clothes next to the bullets. I’ll keep pricing in mind too : )!

Sartorialist Meets Superhero: J’onn J’ozz and M’gann M’orzz stylin’ on you. 

PERFECTION. I love their twee, 50’s digs, especially the coordination of M’gann’s peter pan collared blouse with the red cigarette pants.

Dudes, please take notes on J’onn’s ensemble.

Best Cosplay Ever (This Week) - 06.27.11

Although cosplay has been present for decades within the comics, anime, and sci-fi/fantasy fandoms, social media has played an integral role in the thriving community of costuming that exists today and cosplay communities such as Cosplay.com and the Superhero Costuming Forum. In honor of the many fans who’ve displayed excellence in the mastery of homemade disguise, craftsmanship, and sartorial superheroics, ComicsAlliance has created Best Cosplay Ever (This Week), a weekly collection of some of the most impeccable, creative, and clever costumes that we’ve discovered and assembled into our own super-showcase of pure fan-devoted talent.

Check out this week’s round-up of the Best Cosplay Ever on ComicsAlliance, featuring Booster Gold, Cutie Honey, Madman, Team Rocket (above), and more!

For those of you looking for a little bit of styling inspiration, comic creator/artist Chris Graves recently sketched up a quick lookbook featuring eight adorable superhero-inspired outfits.

“I was pretty dronkxorz a few nights ago but it helped my productivity a bit. So I roughed out some ideas for outfits with Betty in mind. But really, everybody should dress more superhero-themed.

I think the Nightwing and Madman dresses are my fave. Also the Damian Robin =D”

- Chris Graves

I adore all of these so much that I felt compelled to comment on every single ensemble.

Classic Robin: I really love the use of a sweater in this ensemble; it reminds me a lot of the sweaters that Dick Grayson used to wear early on (as seen on Burt Ward in the ‘60’s Batman series). I think I personally would’ve opted for layering the sweater over a yellow peter pan collared shirt instead of wearing the yellow scarf, to complete the retro ensemble.

Nightwing: Truth be told, I’ve been wanting to make a Nightwing bodycon dress exactly like this for years now. After seeing Chris’ rendition, I think it’s time.

Batman: I like how this matches the classic Robin coordinate perfectly. Since a fair portion of my wardrobe is comprised of black and greys, I’m surprised that I don’t own this outfit already. On a side note, I really need to track down a Batman sweater.

Damian Wayne/Robin: I love the use of the hooded scarf for the Damian Wayne Robin ensemble - you could also use a circle scarf (like this one from American Apparel) for a similar makeshift hood.

Stephanie Brown/Batgirl: This coordinate only reminds me of how I’m in dire need of more purple eggplant-colored items in my wardrobe, especially in regards to how stellar eggplant and yellow look together.

Huntress: I really love this design as a bodycon dress (note: phew, no belly hole!). I think I would’ve opted to go without the utility belt, since it interferes with the bold design of the dress itself.

Miss Martian: I feel like this would be a cute civilian disguise for M’gann. So cute.

Madman: My favorite of the bunch. I’ve been wanting a Madman shirt forever to create a similar ensemble, but this is just perfection. The tights (in a gorgeous shade of Frank Einstein blue) look so crisp against the white dress and black boots. Okay, that’s it - I’m making this ensemble ASAP (complete with a yo-yo-shaped purse!).

Conclusively, Chris Graves is the ginchiest - I can’t wait to see more of your redesigns :D

RHR: Miss Martian, by Mayeko.

As if I needed more encouragement to be Miss Martian, Mayeko redesigned M’gann’s costume into this incredibly wearable and adorable outfit. The crossed suspenders and the white ballet flats simulate the red graphic on M’gann’s original outfit, and the bow clasp on her cape reminds me of Super Betty’s makeover. Although the ringer t-shirt, blue skirt, and white gloves combo may be vaguely reminiscent of Linda Danvers’ dated Supergirl costume, M’gann’s redesign is a refreshing twist on these basic clothing items. I can’t wait to wear my suspenders like that :D
