Twilight Wardrobe Trauma

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I didn't notice at first. That's part of what makes it so irritating. The books were so good that I went into speed reading mode -- I couldn't be bothered to stop and ponder the wardrobe, though the signs were definitely there.

Maybe it was the build up, all the little things coming together. Or maybe it was because the book 4 plot twists left me feeling like good friend had betrayed me. And once betrayed, you begin to notice all those other things... So It wasn't until book four, when Bella oggles Edward in his tan slacks and grandma sweater. Tan slacks? What? Gag reflex activated!

The details all started coming back to me... The leather jacket, ribbed turtlenecks, sweater vests, khaki and beige and --AGH. I suppose he could be pulling off a GQ model look, possibly. So I could understand one or two sweaters. Or maybe if he were going for a clark kent alter ego... 

I noticed that in the movie, Jasper appeared to be sporting the wardrobe that book Edward had, except with better colors. But Jasper is also older than Edward and has more of a "I'm jaunty and I bite" charisma anyway. 

High school fashion is pretty laughable, I'll admit, but its rare that a teenage boy would try to pull off something akin to Edwards wardrobe. The point of fashion in high school (or in life, really) is to try to tell the world a little bit about your personality through a combination of colors, cuts and styles. If you don't care, your clothes might reflect that. But vampires... what else do they have to think about? They don't sleep. They have all night to pick out an outfit for the next day. And if you're a 17 year old vampire who hasn't had a girlfriend for 100 years, might you brood a bit? Dabble in the darker colors of depressed and more depressed? Wear several different shades of grey? 

And thus ends my Fashion Trilogy Blog.

 

If you were to create a vampire character, what would their style be? Please comment belooow
