Five Ways To Wear Your Favourite Star Wars Fan Merch
by Mitchell Gilbert
Pop culture clothing and accessories have never been bigger than they are right now, with hit blockbuster film franchises like Star Wars dominating the box office listings. More and more people are enjoying the idea of wearing their fandoms on their sleeve--often literally--with branded or themed outfits, but how can you make it work for you when you're not cosplaying at a convention? Read on for a few clever ideas on how to incorporate the films you love with the outfits you wear subtly and stylishly.
#1: The Starfield Tee
Not all merch has to go for the big, obvious symbols: Stormtrooper helmets, half-destroyed Death Stars, clashing lightsabers. A particular field of stars--perhaps taken from the iconic 1970s opening sequence, or the final battle in Episode VI--can be made recognisable to fans while simply looking like a pretty design to the uninitiated.
#2: Darth Vader Earrings
Part of the beauty of stud earrings is that they're obvious enough to show off, but subtle enough to go with basically everything. Darth Vader's iconic helmet is a great choice for them, too, as it's instantly recognisable and easy to render in metals of all kinds. No matter what your gender identity or clothing style choice, if you have pierced ears and enjoy wearing earrings you're likely to find a pair that suit your taste.
#3: Sock Wars
Ahh, novelty socks. Almost everyone has a soft spot for them these days; they can inject a little fun into an otherwise routine week, they're almost always hidden and are therefore suitable for wearing in pretty much any situation and they don't need to worry too much about being designed with flattering shapes and appropriate patterns. There are any number of Star Wars-themed socks available right now--enough for you to join a different faction every day of the week!
#4: Rey's Classic Belt
Rey's look in the recent prequel trilogy is almost as iconic as her characterisation, but it's not exactly inconspicuous for daily wear here on Earth. She does, however, wear a double-strap brown leather belt that would perfectly set off any number of outfits and could be used to cinch in the waist for a subtle nod to the silver screen heroine that you could even wear to work.
#5: The Snuggliest Jedi
Just because the day is over and done with, that doesn't mean you need to give up your fandom of choice till tomorrow! The jedi robes in the Star Wars films are iconic--and, with their long sleeves and roomy hoods, make for perfect dressing gowns. Several merchandise retailers have picked up on this already, so grab one for yourself and snuggle away!

About Me
Hello, my name is Flo. My passion is for making sure that everyone wears the best fashion. That doesn't mean that people have to wear the latest styles. I like it when people wear things that don't quite fit. When people make people think and give them a shock, I think that is what we are all about. I said to my friend that fashion was dead. Then I decided to start a blog to prove that what people wear will go on and on and that nothing really dies. I hope you enjoy my blog and find it very useful.
