What would actually happen if you let guys dress you for a night out?
This
We asked three guys to dress their girl mates for a night out: clothes, hair, make-up, the works. The results were weird, wonderful, and a little bit terrifying…
The boys
Anthony: Rugby LAD LAD LAD
Usual attire: stash, stash, and sometimes, stash.
Simon: Port & Policy bae
Usual attire: anything blue, except for white tie
Alec: Hoxton hero.
Usual attire: them wavey, wavey, garms.
NO. 1: LAUREN
OCCASION: FRIDAY NIGHT WAHOO
BEFORE
What’s your ideal style for a woman?
Simon: I like women wearing blue blazers. I also like a tidy handbag. Not too much make up, understated is better. I prefer hair to be long, straight and worn down too.
Which celebrity female’s style do you like most?
Blake Lively.
AFTER
Simon kept to his true colour(s) by dressing Lauren in a blue blazer, blue shirt and blue pendant necklace. Our P&P bae then chose a floral monochrome skort, nude studded clutch, black tights and heeled leather boots. Make-up was kept simple with mascara and red lipstick.
What do you think of Simon’s outfit choice?
Lauren: I would take everything picked…individually. To be fair, from the waist down, he’s done pretty well. The rest is just, blue.
NO. 2: CLAUDIA
OCCASION: SOME-COOL-NIGHT-YOU-PROBS-HAVEN’T-HEARD-OF @ CELLAR
BEFORE
What’s your ideal style for a woman?
Anthony: Nothing particularly fussy, it’s what’s underneath that counts. Classy-dirty-sexy-elegant. If you’ve done your make-up well, a guy shouldn’t be able to tell, right? Less is more. Personally I like brunette hair, moderate to long, generally straight. And clean. Needs to be clean.
Which celebrity female’s style do you like most?
Mila Kunis.
AFTER
Anthony decided that you can never have enough pattern, and opted for acid wash leggings, a floral bralet, a navy corduroy shirt. This interesting look was finished off with a bottle top necklace and white platform hi-tops. Nearly a whole pot of black eyeshadow, some glitter and lipstick later, Claudia’s make up was apparently done. Finally, a topknot. A topknot.
What do you think of Anthony’s outfit choice?
Claudia: That…I would never go out in this outfit. He’s taken clashing patterns to a new level.
NO. 3: CAITLIN
OCCASION: BRIDGE THURSDAY
BEFORE
What’s your ideal style for a woman?
Alec: Skirt and a tube top.
Tube top? Do you mean a crop top?
Yes, that’s it. That and thick, black high heels. Make-up wise I like eyeliner and pale lipstick. I really like it when a girl has braids in her hair. I’m a fan of braids and wispy bits.
Which celebrity female’s style do you like the most?
Cara Delevingne.
AFTER
Alec’s (somewhat painfully long) time and consideration paid off. The indie kid chose a black and white sheer-sleeved crop top, a black skort and lace-up heeled boots. Alec rather impressively did his favourite “braids and wispy bits”. Caitlin’s make up was also kept simple, with eyeliner, concealer, bronzer and nude lipstick.
What do you think of Alec’s outfit choice?
Caitlin: It’s surprisingly good…I wasn’t expecting it.
Congrats, Alec.
With thanks to all the boyz and girls for making this happen.
