Cozy Steven Tyler - YouLookFab Forum

Style descriptors fell from the sky today! After weeks of struggling with my fall look, and trying to figure out what I even WANTED to create with my outfits, here it is: cozy Steven Tyler. You know, Steven Tyler, the lead singer of Aerosmith? Wears lots of scarves and loose fabrics, very tight pants....

Let me be clear that I do not actually wish to look LIKE this particular guy, it’s just an easy shorthand for a certain kind of edginess that I really need in my outfits these days. Maybe later it will turn into “cozy Mick Jagger”.... wait are they actually the same person....?

Here are some rough drafts. No specific feedback needed yet- these are very rough and fit is all over the place as some of this stuff is borrowed. But I can’t tell you how exciting it is to finally have a direction to play with.

FAB! what a great inspiration....
love these outfits.... #5 clearly shows you have an advance degree in layering!
now, can you tell me about the chelsea boots your wearing?

Great style description. I think you can do it better than he does.

Having a style descriptor is a great way to add intentional edge to an outfit. I really love this look for you, it looks very authentic. I have always loved top hats, never had one and don't think it is for me, but I think they are magic on the right person! Not sure if you want to go that far, but I do love how in your picture of Steve he is wearing one.

That is a great descriptor and I love the looks you posted! Your necklace in 4 is fantastic and the different textures in your layers in 5 is perfect for fall!

Great choice, can see exactly what you are going for. Love the Chelsea boots!

LOL That's great! I think you interpret it very well. Giving me food for thought, as I am starting to layer up a little as the weather cools. I'm not a big layering person, as it often goes wrong (things bunch up or twist around or make me look big), but I like how you're doing it here.

Whatever is happening in picture 5 is FANTASTIC. The layering is so perfect. Wear this one again and again

I love it! Halle Berry might provide some style inspo as well - she does RATE/post apocalyptic toppers over slim jeans and trendy footwear well.

Kathie

This is so perfect for you. I can’t wait to see what you do with it!

Ginger

This is perfect for you! I love your grin in the pictures - it looks like you're having a blast!

This is awesome! This actually makes perfect sense to me. I think you're off to a good start with these pics.

Love those iridescent booties! What fun

SUPER CUTE TOMBOY FABNESS, Jessikams.

Like Lisa p, I love what is happening in #5. KILLER, and very 2018.

Christina F.

These are perfect on you, and you look very happy in each picture, so I think you knew it. I'm sure Steven would be thrilled to be your inspiration.

More love for #5 - it's a 10+ on the fabulometer!

Nice! I like how you’ve expressed your direction!
Do you change directions fairly frequently? How is this look different from before? (I apologize, I can’t tell the difference. You always look edgy to me!)

Jane

Very cool! It is a fab look. I love the browns / cognacs colours in 5

Jessikams

Oooh, I’m so glad to know that this makes sense to you guys. I thought it might just seem crazy/weird but I do often look to men for style inspiration - I guess because I’m seeking proportions that work with short hair. Halle Berry is a great person to look at - thanks for the tip JULES. Of course Tilda Swindon too but she’s much taller.

If ANGIE and RUNCARLA like # 5, I know it’s a winner! That’s my husband’s waistcoat- huge on me- but I may be able to create that look with any v-neck as a layer. The brown coat belonged to my mom but it cuts across my thighs at the worst place, so I want to extend the line by layering things over it, while still letting the lovely brown color show at the sleeves.

SMITTIE I’ve honestly never had a style “direction” before! Just inspiration pics, or items I liked, but I didn’t quite know how to bring them together. This led to a lot of days where I was wearing nice items but felt “meh.” Now I realize I need several key elements of “rocker” look: sharp shoes, sharp topper, some kind of drama or attitude (big jewelry, tall hair, bright makeup). The normcore uniform of jeans, sweater, sneakers does not feel good on me- in fact, on days when I dress that way I literally have a “sick day” feeling, like oh well, this is the best I could do, shuffle shuffle in my sad lumpy slippers.

KKARDS, oh the booties.... went to Zara to scope out shoes, hoping for houndstooth boots. Saw shiny black pointy western Chelsea boots. Fell over myself to try them on. Told self “you already have black kitten heel booties!” Self didn’t listen. Bought boots. Want to wear them every day for the rest of my life.

Love this post. I am just the right age and province to remember Steve Tyler's look without much help. 5 is amazing but the jacket and chain in 4 and fuzzy top in 6 are also great.

cindysmith

Rock on with your bad self

Seriously, I love it! You look so GOOD!

RobinF

Wow, I love these looks! I agree with the love for #5 but it is seriously hard to pick a favorite. Great inspiration.

Cee

Somewhat brilliant

Style Fan

I love this! Amazing inspiration.

AviaMariah

Perfect style descriptor and Steven could only wish to look as fab as you in these outfits!

HAH. Now I'm even more impressed with #5

Flytigress

I love this!

I read that Cate Blanchett's outfits in Ocean's 8 were designed to evoke 1970's Keith Richards.

Helena

Love this so much ... I visualized exactly what you are wearing based on the descriptor, plus or minus a scarf or two ... Eat your heart out Steven!!

You look amazing. I used to own a sheer leopard print blouse that I am sure I saw Steven Tyler wearing on TV worn open to the waist with lots of strings of beads and chains. Lots of inspiration in his wardrobe.

Angie, raiding hubs’ closet is fun! Unfortunately he is literally double my size.
Joy, sheer leopard print, what a concept— hilarious? Brilliant? Both??
