Dressing Like an Artist

Dressing like an artist is a great way to express yourself, especially if you wanted to fit in at art school or just searching for your inner artist. Dressing like an artist does not mean that you will have to start talking about exhibits, it is merely a style choice.

• A tweed jacket is something great to wear if you want to start dressing like an artist. A tweed jacket can be worn by both ladies and gentlemen. A good accessory to this jacket would be suede elbow patches, but they are not necessary.


• Put on a pair of skinny jeans. For anyone that wants to dress like an artist, black or dark denim are essential.


• If you are female, add long black skirts to your closet. Female artists usually have at least two in her wardrobe, and she wears them often.


• Carry a bag that is big enough to carry all of your artistic utensils. Also carry a magazine or a book about writing or painting.


• This goes for any man, or woman who wants to look like an artist. Walk in pointed toe shoes. The rounded toe is not going to cut it in the artistic world.


• Get some chunky glasses. The artistic flare should be predominant, so it would be best to go with bright colored square frames.


• Buy a lot of beaded necklaces that do not have too much ethnic flare. Plain, solid colors would be best. Shop at a local artist's shop for a lot of good artistic jewelry.
