Character Inspired Fashion is probably one of my favorite blogs because it combines two things I hold very close to my heart: fandom and fashion.
I sometimes get upset when I hear geeks say that they don’t care about clothes. Hey geeks: of course you care about clothes. You complain every time a superhero changes their outfit. You immediately point out chronological inaccuracies in a period drama. And if you’re remotely interested in drawing comics, then fashion is a must. I can’t tell you how many times I get turned off by comics where I’m constantly thinking, “teenage boys don’t dress that way” or “office ladies don’t dress that way.”
So now that we’ve established that geeksreally do care about their clothes, here’s Character Inspired Fashion, a Tumblr that’s out to prove that fandom and fashion can live harmoniously after all in geek chic style collages. A style collage is fairly self-explanatory and you’ve probably seen them before: a person combines pictures of clothing and accessories, and pastes them together to make an outfit.
(And let me set things straight: I love fashion, but I suck at it. This love is relatively new. Most girls discover clothes when they get a Barbie shoved in their hands at age four. I never liked Barbies. I barely liked putting effort into pulling clothes onto my own body, much less a doll’s. The fashion bug didn’t really bite me until high school, where it laid dormant with passing symptoms and only fully infected me a few years ago (i.e., started working full time and could afford to buy my own clothes).
Character Inspired Fashion posted a badass lineup of superheroes in preparation for the summer blockbuster hit, The Avengers.
And if superheroes aren’t your cup of tea, don’t worry. There’s fashion from shows like BBC’s Sherlock:
To webcomics like Homestuck:
And even Greek Mythology:
These outfits are perfect for anybody with a penchant for undercover cosplay. All outfits are made exclusively for fun. Chances are you won’t be able to afford that $1,100 belt. But for all those quadruple-figure accessory costs and “They want how much for that?” dresses, there’s a $7 shirt and a $10 pair of shorts that make the perfect undercover Misty costume.
And for all you fashion-conscious (or fashion-curious) dudes out there, yes, there is a Character Inspired Fashion for Men.

The Character Inspired Fashion Tumblr even encourages its followers to share pictures of undercover cosplay influenced by the blog itself. This unites a community of fans who are passionate about their fandoms, but can’t afford (or perhaps have no interest in) going all-out at conventions. I can only hope that Character Inspired Fashion keeps coming up with new, fun outfits. This Tumblr creates a great back-and-forth between creators and fans: it makes fandoms accessible to fans and in turn inspires creators to dream up fashionable artistic choices that in turn motivates and engages the fans all over again. Hopefully blogs like this one will help keep comics fashion grounded and fresh.
I only have Samuel L. Jackson and the “Go The Fuck To Sleep” book to blame for this.
