Styling Ideas - Boys (Lead Singer)

We have decided that our lead singer will be dressed as smart/casual. There will also be costume changes during the video so picking outfits needs to be organised carefully to demonstrate his style and genre that he fits into. The above photo is a picture of The Drums. Their style is quite indie as it is very simple but they each are unique. The plain tee could work quite well in the video as it doesn't distract you from anything else happening around him. The hooded jacket also looks quite effective and trendy but Little Comets wear these items quite a lot so we could go for a smarter look. Checked shirts or blazers may be another option as they are not too smart but work well for the indie genre. The tight jeans are very common in these types of bands or even chinos could express this type of genre clearly. Boys that fit into this usually usually care quite a lot about their appearance so we don't want our lead singer to look too scruffy. The smarter look would work better to contrast from what Little Comets wear with their branded hoodies etc.

Here is an example of what Friendly Fires would wear. They are slightly smarter than The Drums and this is the sort of look we are going for. They are not overly smart but they make the trend look more casual by wearing a patterned shirt or contrasting the look with brighter colours. This could work well for the numerous costume changes as it will keep the audience captivated by the artist expressing their style and personality. I like the simplicity of this look and it will work well with the genre of the song.

This is a picture of Rizzle Kicks. Their style is slightly more masculine as they where a lot of hoodies, trackies and caps. This suits their music genre and it stands out to their audience. Their target audience find this style appealing as they look at them for inspiration and copy their trends. The clothes that they wear are quite simple but the way that they wear the items is what makes the look so effective. Branded clothes are very popular in this type of genre so our artist may choose to wear something a bit smarter and doesn't distract the audience from other things happening in the video.

Here is a typical example of what Two Door Cinema Club would wear. They meet the style that we are looking for as they are quite smart but casual at the same time. Blazers, shirts, skinny jeans and cardigans are just a few examples of what you could see this band in. We will be dressing our lead singer in something similar so that he meets the indie genre. I like how they express the look with bright colours so that they work well together with more simple items of clothing. This contrast is very inspiring and encourages their fans to dress in a similar way and follow their style. Checked shirts and cardigans would also be a good look for our band member.
