Johnny Depp: Celebrity Style

ad space

Known for his many quirky roles, Johnny Depp is indeed a rarity in Hollywood. He doesn't seem to care about the expectations of the people around him. His fashion style reflects his individuality.

Depp has always created his own look, eschewing the fashion trends of the time. To cultivate your own sense of fashion experimentation, look to other time periods.

Depp rarely limits his clothing choices to those of this decade, often favoring instead the shaped silk ties, tail coats, and two-tone shoes of the Twenties, vertical striped suits, wide, pointed lapels, and gangster style brown fedoras of the Thirties, and wide trouser hems with cuffs, pocket handkerchiefs, and suspenders of the Forties. Just one of these vintage touches can add a heap of style to an otherwise run-of-the-mill get-up.

Light-colored stripes on a crisp, dark suit or shirt are always hot, and hats, though so undervalued by the modern man, lend tremendous character and panache. Work in ritzy touches, such as velvet trim or vintage buttons. Consider a monochrome look of various shades of brown or blue. A chocolate suit, tie, and hat, preferably a fedora with sheeny silk band, work particularly well on dark-haired fellows like Depp.

Depp tends to grow out his hair and facial hair, perhaps to offset the innocence of his baby face, and he often has a few strands in his eyes or skewed out of place. To emulate this style, let your hair grow. Try a palmful of gel mousse pulled through the strands or styling spray pomade focused at the ends. Finger comb for a casual look.

For dressing down, add a few strands of wooden, ethnic beads or chains to faded jeans and a fitted white button-down shirt or t-shirt. Add unique accessories, such as a heavy leather worn-in watch or bookish spectacles. Whatever clothing you choose; don't be afraid to stand out. The attention you garner will almost certainly be positive.
