Mass Appeal: Be One With The Force With These Star Wars-Inspired Looks

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, or on one of the outer rim planets, Star Wars mania has descended upon us faster than the Millennium Falcon can complete the Kessel Run — and as pop culture fans, we can’t help but feel tempted to put together entire looks based on the latest film in the instalment, Star Wars: The Last Jedi. If you’re a fan, you’ve already caught it, but chances are, you might feel inspired to live it out in your daily life too, so we’ve got you.

We’ve scoured the galaxy for the best Star Wars collections this side of the universe, from Columbia’s Hoth-inspired jackets, to Cargo Cosmetics’ eyeshadow palettes, to even a capsule collection by local designer Sabrina Goh. We know, we know, the new saga really deals with a more nuanced meaning of “balance in the force”, but sometimes we can’t help but revel in some friendly rivalry too. So, go ahead, pick a side — The First Order or the Resistance? The only bad feeling you’re gonna have is how fast your wallet’s about to be emptied, right about now.

The Resistance

You’ll wanna awaken the Force with these Light-side apparel, starting with this shirt dress from Elohim by Sabrina Goh’s ‘Synthesis’ collection — it’s a subtle piece from the homegrown designer that sees line drawings of Rey, Rose, Finn, and R2-D2, proving that you won’t have to look completely geeky to rep your fandom.

If you’re travelling to a different (weather) system, there are cold wear options too — Leia it up with Columbia’s vintage-look jacket, complete with a jacket and vest combination in neutral tones, or Her Universe’s Rose cargo jacket that celebrates our favourite new character. And nope, you won’t look like a scruffy-looking nerf-herder at all since they’re both sleek and stylish; and unique — no one wants to be a clone.

Strike back just as hard with your accessories too; a Nixon watch with a subtle logo at the 12 o’clock mark, a Rag & Bone pouch glinting in hopeful silver (sorry C-3PO), a regal necklace, and a pair of Clarks shoes comfy enough for exploring Jakku and everywhere else far, far away. Much to learn we have, but bearing the proud title of ‘rebel scum’ suddenly became incredibly easy.

The First Order

Granted, some of us have more of an affinity with the dark side, and why not? The force is certainly strong with this one, as does the powerful look of Her Universe’s Captain Phasma-inspired satin bomber jacket, and all-black sweaters and t-shirts that signal you’re truly comfortable shrouded in more menacing, inSidious colours.

Then, you’ll wanna rock up to the Death Star with these Rag & Bone heeled boots and Ren-der everyone else to shame, simply because these are the most sexy shoes we wished they’d make standard issue on board any Star Destroyer. That, plus Cargo Cosmetics’ gravity-defying volumising mascara and a smokey eye look from their Eye Palette that’d put any goody-two-shoes Jedi to shame.

Or, you can troop forth with the Stormtrooper-inspired accessories of a Nixon timepiece and State Bag’s practical backpack. The next time anyone dares to find your lack of faith disturbing, you know what you’ll be serving — looks that could kill.
