Paying Homage: Michael Jackson

Since the recent passing of the King of Pop, I have been feeling like a part of me and our culture is missing. Most of this is due to the high influence Michael Jackson had on music, culture, and most importantly FASHION. It seemed more than appropriate than to post style inspiration to the iconic star.

Michael Jackson was all about being bold. Using color, texture, and shape you can easily modernize a Michael Jackson inspired look.

Sequin, military inspired jacket with strong shoulders, and aviators, gloves, and his staple fedora all make the perfect MJ look. Working all of these items at the same time will be a MJ overload so take it one tribute at a time.

Here are a few Michael inspired items. Military buttons, sequins, and staple items like aviators, a fedora, and of course some gloves.

ASOS Military Bib Jacket $76.95
