Damn, coming up with Wes Anderson looks is harder than I thought. When it comes to the costuming in Wes Anderson movies it’s always very specific and in many cases custom made. What you’ll also notice is that if an outfit is a bit more traditional, let’s say a blazer and trousers for instance, it has very specific details that can make it harder to replicate or even catch the vibe for. Because the outfit (like most of Anderson’s work) is defined by the details. So this is my attempt going forward. This is what I can throw together based on what’s currently in my closet.

Mr. Bunce from The Fantastic Mr. Fox

Sport Coat: Topman ($110)

Shirt: H&M ($25)

Knit Tie: J Crew Factory ($15)

Chinos: Levi’s 511 Trousers ($45)

Boots: Jeffrey Tyler ($75)

Watch: Momentum Square One ($200)

Belt: J Crew Factory ($15)

Total : $485($285 without the watch.)

Whole lot of earth tones in the Fantastic Mister Fox. I actually don’t really wear that much brown so this was a pretty difficult movie to put together. I’m going to watch it again soon so I may come up with another look from that later.

(Not Really) A Fantastic Mr Fox Look

Jacket: J Crew Factory ($50)

Sweater: Polo Ralph Lauren ($40)

Shirt: H&M ($15)

Herringbone Tie: H&M ($25)

Jeans: J Crew Factory Driggs ($45)

Boots: Steve Madden ($150)

Watch: Orient Ray ($150)

Sunglasses: $10

Total: $485 ($335 without the watch)

So this is not really based on a specific outfit from the film. It’s more based on the overall feel. But I think it has the color palette and textures to fit into the movie. I can see one of the characters possibly wearing something like this.

Mr. Sherman from The Royal Tenenbaums

Suit Jacket: J Crew Factory ($150)

Shirt: J Crew Factory ($30)

Tie: J Crew Factory ($20)

Trousers: Levi’s 511 ($45)

Tie Clip - Vintage ($15)

Shoes - Florsheim ($30 Thrifted)

Belt - J Crew Factory ($20)

Watch: Vintage Bulova (~$75 on eBay. Mine was a hand-me-down.)

Socks: Topman ($15)

Pocket Square: Tie Bar ($15)

Sunglasses: J Crew Factory ($15)

Total: $415

This is a problematic look for me since I based it solely on what I had. I would prefer the shirt to actually be a dress shirt (this one is too casual,) a bow tie would be better (although the character does wear a red tie in the film) and I would prefer not to have a gingham shirt and gingham pocket square. But, this is what I’ve got so this is what we are going with.

Max Fischer from Rushmore

Sports Coat: H&M ($75)

Shirt: H&M ($15)

Tie: H&M ($15)

Chinos: Gap ($45)

Belt: Target ($15)

Watch: Tiger Concepts ($130)

Tie Clip: Vintage ($15)

Shoes: Clark’s Desert Boots ($100)

Sunglasses: American Optical ($50)

Watch Cap: Amazon ($10)

Socks: J Crew Factory ($12)

Total: $482

This one I could get decently close on. I don’t own a red beret or a pair of tennis shoes like he has. I substituted my Clark’s because I have red laces on them. I used these socks because, well they were the only ones I had clean and on-hand that were not used in the other photos. I like them though go nicely with the sandy color of the chinos.

I also used this photo session to throw together a preview of what’s next.

Blonde on Blonde era Bob Dylan

Coat: Topman ($130)

Shirt: J Crew Factory ($25)

Scarf: Amazon ($10)

Jeans: J Crew Factory Driggs ($45)

Boots: Topman ($75)

Watch: Ogi ($75)

Sunglasses: J Crew Factory ($15)

Is it all Dylan looks? Is it musicians in general? You’re just going to have to wait and see.
