Hello!
For those of you who don’t know, I love David Bowie, a lot. So seing as he has released a new album (which is amazing everyone go listen) I thought I would make a post on the fashion of Mr Bowie, and some items in stores at the moment which could help you look a little like the fabulous man himself.
1. Life on Mars
This was one of his more simple looks, yet still very iconic. The bright suit is a classic for Bowie and you may not want to go full on with matching trousers but a bright blazer can make any outfit stand out with a 70’s / 80’s look and Oasis have a great range of colours in at the moment.
2. Leather
You can’t really go wrong with a good leather jacket. Bowie wore many over the years and I think that they look great with most outfits and give a real retro biker look. There are plenty out there at the moment that are fake leather and really nice quality but if you want the real deal go to All Saints.

3. Hats
The fedora hat has been worn by Bowie over most eras and can really make an outfit look funky. Hats are amazing accessories to give character and hide your hair if it’s a bit wild, the fedora will give you a real classic vintage look. Topshop have some really great fedora’s in at the moment in a range of colour. I love the classic dark grey one the most.
4. Lets Dance
Here is another of the suit looks that Bowie wore in the Let’s Dance era. A cream jacket is a bit different from the usual black or even a bright colour and can give a good 80’s vibe to an outfit. Wear it a little big and pair with some light pants for a real contrast or go for matching pants for the whole look.
To finish off I though I would embarrass myself a bit and show you a photo of myself dressed as Ziggy for a fancy dress party when I was about 14/15. Oh lord.
Cringe!
Bye bye x
