The forever-loved King of Pop, Michael Jackson, not only revolutionized the music world, but also the world of fashion. Despite his untimely departure from our world, Jackson surely will continue to be an inspiration to musicians and fashionistas alike. White glove in hand, this guide will help you to moonwalk your way into Jackson’s style shoes.
One of Michael Jackson’s signature trademark was his glittery white glove that he wore on one hand. Pay a tribute to the King of Pop and slip on one of these revised versions of the classic sparkle that Jackson wore on stage. Stars like Beyonce and Miley Cyrus are copying Jackson’s unique trend.
In addition to the white glove, Jackson was never without a colored armband. This armband, however, was much more than any fashion statement. Jackson’s colored armband stood for the starving and abused children in the world, and was a way to express sadness for all those who were lost and suffering. To follow Jackson’s humanitarian footsteps, buy or make an armband of your own and wear it proudly. Jackson’s armbands came in a variety of colors, from black, to red, to gold, and more.
Marching band inspired jackets are another hot style that Jackson wore on stage. From sparkling black and gold to eye-catching red, Michael Jackson’s stage attire caught the attention of millions. To catch some attention of your own, take a lesson from these designers who are turning the iconic band jacket image into a fashion trend of their own. A marching band inspired vest is a fresh take on the classic jacket. Pair it with a loose, comfortable cotton tee and jeans for a fresh and relaxed look. A band jacket or vest adds a bit of edge to any outfit and can kick your wardrobe up a notch.
Another major trend that Jackson set off during his long and successful career was the fedora. Often worn during his dance performances, Jackson’s fedora was never far away. Celebrities like Alicia Keys have taken a note from Jackson and further popularized the style. To incorporate this hat trend into your daily routine, pair a fedora with dark denim jeans, a simple blouse or tee shirt and wear your hair straight or with slight waves.
Michael Jackson was and will continue to be an inspiration in the music, humanitarian, and fashion world. His work and dedication to his music and style have shaped and transformed the pop culture industry we have come to love. Whether in America, Asia, or Europe, millions of people around the world will miss Jackson’s catchy dance tunes and addictive style trends.
