Dress Like Andy Warhol

Pop artist Andy Warhol was a man obsessed with image and style. He had a lot of ideas about fashion and paid close attention to the clothes he wore and how he presented himself. He made several statements about fashion and how one should dress, such as, "Think rich, look poor." If you want not only to look like Warhol but act like him as well, study some of the footage available. Warhol did many interviews, though he usually said very little in them and maintained a calm and quiet demeanor.


Instructions


1. Wear an oversized blonde wig. This, above all else, is a trademark of Warhol's signature look.


2. Wear a shirt with horizontal stripes, ideally white and black stripes, or white and blue stripes.


3. Wear a leather jacket. It should be a pretty standard leather jacket, not one with chains or anything resembling a biker's jacket.


4. Wear tight-fitting, black pants. Black jeans will work just fine.


5. Wear black boots. They should be fairly plain looking.


6. Wear dark sunglasses. Warhol was almost always photographed wearing sunglasses.
