Have You Ever Noticed How Styles Are Inspired By Art?

Art is all around us—in the walls that we look at, in the music that we listen to, in the people that we meet, and the fashion that we wear. Fashion is one of the most prominent mediums of self-expression, and putting together a good and well-structured outfit is an art in itself. It is easy to look at a famous painting and take away a few tips from it, but implementing those may be a bit more difficult sometimes.

If you want to look like a piece of work, taking a few fashion tips from a few famous paintings never hurts. If you want to share that artsy kind of fashion sense with other people, you can put together a lookbook and sell your clothes online. Fashion is ever-evolving, after all, and there is always a niche for unique clothing choices.

Meanwhile, take a few pointers on how you can put together an artwork-inspired outfit.

The Mona Lisa

The Mona Lisa is one of the most well-known paintings and is known for being one of the first well-known portraits of a woman. The beautiful painting is covered in warm tones, primarily browns, yellows, and a hint of black. To get a look inspired by this outfit, pair up a loose shirt dress with a black jacket or scarf. The Mona Lisa is simplistic, so avoid adding things that are too flashy and bold.

American Gothic

You can either raid your box of 2007 scene kid clothing for this one (if you still fit into them, that is), or you can just find whatever piece of black clothing you have in your closet to make it work.  A black collared top with black pants is the way to go for this. Keep the accessories to a minimum, but don’t forget the iconic necklace if you want to go all-out for this look.

Girl with a Pearl Earring

Girl with a Pearl Earring is another signature portrait that follows the Renaissance theme of portrait painting. The girl in the picture wears a brown coat, so opting for a brown jacket over a regular top is one of the first places to start. Don’t forget the iconic blue hairband and pearl earrings. Tie your hair up in a high ponytail, and you have a beautiful look in front of you. 

Composition in Red, Blue, and Yellow

Composition in Red, Blue, and Yellow was one of the first pieces that paved the way for modern art. Since the colors are only shown as hints in the painting, try sticking to an outfit that is white and black, while adding the pop of color with the accessories that you wear.

A white top paired with black pants works best for this. Something as simple as a red necklace, yellow earrings, and blue shoes can help you pull together this look, making you look like a piece of art!

The Starry Night

The Starry Night may be one of the most beautiful and well-known paintings of Vincent van Gogh, and there is no better way to show your love for this painting than by wearing an outfit inspired by this look. Pair up yellows, blues, and greens together to create a seamless and beautiful spectrum of colors, just like in the painting. For accessories, try necklaces and earrings with stars, because, well, it’s The Starry Night!

Look Further

There are many paintings waiting to come to life in your clothes. You can choose from different cultural periods in different countries as well. It only takes some creativity and resourcefulness to pull off the perfect look. Your imagination is the only limit to what you can create.
