Rizzoli and Isles - YouLookFab Forum

Is anyone else watching this cop show?

Jane Rizzoli is the tomboyish cop, and Maura Isles is the bookish, practical Medical Examiner (sort of like the character on BONES.)

It's interesting how they dress them. Rizzoli wears pants, very down-to-business jackets. Sensible shoes. (For once! A detective who doesn't rush around in heels. Of course, Angie Harmon is very tall already.)

Isles is in beautiful dresses - very simple and classic. Lovely fabrics. Totally impracticable for a morgue, I'm sure. Last episode she had on a great Anorak over her dress. It looked like a silky fabric is a beautiful muted color. I really loved it. It was surprising to me - sort of sporty to wear with a dress, but the fabric was so beautiful and it hung so well, that it didn't look sporty. I'm sure her clothes are very expensive. And she does wear heels.

I'm sort of torn between the two. I like the practical aspect of Rizzoli's clothes. I'd probably dress more like her. But Isles looks so sophisticated and pulled together. I guess she's what I aspire to. (And there was a funny scene where she was shoe shopping on the computer at work. Ah, yes. Reality!)

I watch. They do a good job of communicating the characters' personalities through their clothing.

I haven't seen this show, but it's in our queue to watch, probably this weekend.

I know the show is based on a book series. I wonder how the two characters' fashion is handled in the books? Or if it is at all, it might just be a thing for the TV series. From your description it sounds like I would favor Isles' style. I like Bones' style on that TV series, her jewelry seems particularly appropriate for her character and job.

Ana - I really like Bones. She's so amusing. I have noticed that they've toned her fashion down a bit. The first season or two she wore all those huge necklaces that looked like she got them from her world travels. I haven't noticed them quite as much lately. She does have an amazing collection of trench coats, though. I was actually inspired to get a short white trench from BR because of a similar one she wore on the show!

My son and I just started watching Bones, so we will have to check this one out. I wonder if it's available online?

I like the show, but more than that I like the two main actors. I loved Angie from Law&Order and Sasha from NCIS, so the pair is so fun.
I'm definitely on team Isles as far as wardrobe though. And her HOUSE? Love.
