Though everything didn’t exactly turn out the way you wish it would~ I was extremely inspired by Rob Lowe’s Frat Boy Style (sans the earring) and Demi Moore’s amazing Pepto Bismal pink walls.
I really am not sure that style of clothing has evolved that much since the 80’s- it seems everyone is driving back to that fashion- I mean the acid colors are always a favorite of mine, don’t get me wrong, I will wear banana yellow skinny jeans every day if it were possible- just not the sloppy, baggy sweaters and skirts.
And don’t even get me started on the crimped hair! I have battled the poof-y, frizzy monster that lives atop my head since I was a child- so I believe that that hair trend should never be forced onto such a large unsuspecting public ever again in history.
But I’m sure somewhere in France, Karl Lagerfeld has found a crimp-y muse and is waiting with baited breath to unleash it upon the world: again.
Back to the movie, there is a scene, where Rob Lowe is struggling to find his nitch, and after failing miserably at everything else- he goes back to college. As he is standing at the foot of his old frat house, I was amazed at the creativity of his ensemble. I think that for that scene, the costume designer/clothing stylist had had a spark of absolute genius! Under a roughed up looking leather blazer, Rob was wearing a thinned down, maroon letterman’s jacket. What can I say, except that I had to hit the pause button and gawk appreciatively.
I found a few snaps of Rob Lowe~ sadly though, not any with as large of a shot of his outfit (without watching the movie, that is). I hope it inspires you to find your own frat boy style, too! ;)
