YOUR DIGITAL STYLIST AND NEW BFF
FROM MALIBU 2 PARIS, WE'VE GOT YOU COVERED
From Kate Hudson in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days to Jennifer Garner in 13 Going on 30, the leading ladies in romantic comedies have always embraced a playful and charming sense of style. With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, now is the perfect time to dress like your favorite character. I’m here to guide you in doing exactly that.
A classic, well-fitting pair of jeans should be a staple in every women’s closet. While the styling in these movies is typically a bit eccentric, blue jeans still make an appearance in most rom-coms. They're a timeless fashion choice that not only looks good, but also adds relatability to the characters. Personally, I’m obsessed with the pair of Levi’s that Sydney Sweeney wears in the opening scene of Anyone But You.
Some of the most memorable scenes in romantic comedies occur when the leading lady is wearing a colorful statement dress. Think Jennifer Garner's iconic rainbow dress from 13 Going on 30 or the backless yellow gown Kate Hudson wears in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. These scenes are memorable, not just because of the acting, but also because of the fashion. Invest in a unique, brightly colored dress and no one will be able to take their eyes off of you.
In romantic comedies, jewelry is often used to add a touch of playful innocence to the main character. To the untrained eye, some of these maximalist pieces may come off as “tacky”. However, every “it girl” knows that when styled correctly, bold accessories have the ability to completely elevate an outfit. It’s all about finding the right balance between being bold and chic. Whether you opt for a pair of hot pink hoops or a shiny gold statement necklace, I encourage you to experiment with fun, maximalist jewelry! I’ve found that Urban Outfitters and En Route Jewelry have some great, inexpensive options.
A fun bag is an absolute must-have. Not only are they super practical, but carrying a colorful bag is an easy way to effortlessly elevate a simple outfit. In fact, I'd even suggest rocking a monochromatic look to showcase your extravagant bag! Trust me, a vibrant pop of color can really take an outfit to the next level.
The final element to complete your new rom-com-ready wardrobe is obviously a floral top or skirt. This classic print appears in nearly every 90s/2000s romantic comedy, and it’s still just as popular today! With the revival of 90s/2000s fashion, almost every brand sells this delicate print. I personally love the floral maxi skirts from Brandy Melville! They’re my go-to choice when I want to add a feminine touch to my outfit.
