Apparel Help!

Sign in to disble this ad
Tomorrow my band is taking the mandatory glamour shots, and I need your help! I finally talked them into letting me dress my way, and I have chose to dress jazzy/funky.

Janek has a cool sense of style, along with Hadrien. Jeans, converse or nicer shoes, old school golf hats, etc.

Any ideas guys? I have some things in mind, but I plan to make these really good and use them in the future for other things.

Thanks in advance!


P.S. I will be using my Squier in the pictures, so if a picture of that is needed, lemme know! Color schemes are everything!

I will be kind of honest about this, these photos will really end up being a memory and something to laugh about later in life, so don't sweat it too much. These do not define who you are as a musician, and hopefully you will have things a bit more defined next time around.

Pictures should represent who you are. Wear what you would to a show. Be who you are, and if you have an awesome idea of what is cool...wear it this time. In a year what you think is cool will be drastically different. I know I find myself changing out things that fit my style regularly and retiring other items.

Have fun, enjoy building a band from the ground up. Its a lot harder than it looks and there is no quick way to do it.

P.s. Markjazzbassist looks awesome all the time, but I could never wear what he wears, and I am sure he would look ridiculous if he took my spot in a band. Once again, be yourself. Everyone knows when you are faking.

Youre right, Mark does always look good.

Man crush?

I lan to be myself, as much as possible, whilst still making Alison happy. If she isnt happy, no one is happy.

We need to see your bass first of all.

Also, some form fitting jeans with classic shoes (think Vans/Addidas/Convers) and a form fitting shirt could be a good idea too. If you have hair that most people think looks pretty good, don't wear a hat, but if your hair is a bit goofy, then it might be a good idea.

Or heck, screw it all and go tie-dye with acid wash jeans and raggedy sandals/barefoot.

Star with facial hair. Lots and lots of facial hair, and it's got to be untamed and ungroomed. Then let your hair get all greasy and don't comb it for a few days. After all that, get down to the Good Will and pick up some crazy shirts like the ones your mom used to dress you in on your first day of school. When it comes to pants, go for an old pair of Dickies, preferably from the Good Will as well, so that they're worn in and have oil stains from working on cars and other types of machinery. I guarantee that you will be a stud!

Depends on your age, height, body type and the look your band wants to portray.

Go with Hadrien's look- Skin tight button up shirt (striped) and tight pants, leather a plus. If you've got chest hair, show it.

Jazz musicians should not be allowed to dress themselves.

Go to Express and pick up an MK-2 shirt, wear some nice dark jeans and some hip shoes- you'll look so hip that the singer will kick you out of the band for overshadowing her. Here's a link:

Except the grey shirt.
