WoW Fashionista: Creating that "super" summer look

With Thor already in theaters and several more costume-heavy blockbusters like Captain America and Green Lantern on the way, you can bet your Val'anyr that the superhero look is in. Better start dusting off those classic capes in the bank and hope to Elune you didn't shard that Netherblade Facemask.
To create our featured look, you'll need the following.
- Head Don Carlos' Famous Hat; a knock-off Haliscan Brimmed Hat would also work.
- Chest Watcher's Tunic.
- Back Abjurer's Cloak.
- Waist Brantwood Sash.
- Hands Aurora Gloves.
- Feet Cushy Cenarion Walkers.
Our male model Alphonse is also wearing an optional pair of limited edition Treetop Leggings to complete his ensemble. He is pictured holding Cookie's Tenderizer.
If you can't match our outfit perfectly, you can still put together "a lot of look" by combining various pieces of gear in bright, contrasting colors. Color is the key to any superhero outfit; you don't want go too dark, or you'll end up looking like some sort of wannabe Ravenholdt assassin. Leave the leather pants in the bank.
Other key accessories are a fashion-forward cape and gloves. Be sure your gloves are a style with big, exaggerated gauntlets, so people don't confuse your look with some unfortunate level 63 mage who's still questing in Outland.
A unique mask, helmet, or hair accessory is a must for defining your heroic identity. A Red Defias Mask or Bloodwoven Mask are obvious choices for hiding your face, but be creative. A cute pair of engineer's goggles is definitely not too much.
Here's an example of an outfit created by one of our readers. Looking fabulous, Sasha!
- Head Shadoweave Mask
- Chest Soulcloth Vest
- Back Aurora Cloak
- Waist Brantwood Sash
- Hands Gloves of the Hypnotic Flame
- Feet Calico Shoes
- Legs Black Mageweave Leggings

Got your own look for summer planned? You better work!

I don't know -- it's a lot of look. It worries me.

You could pull it off Foxy.

You could pull it off Foxy.
which, the first look or third?

Based on the above comments, I think we can safely assume that during Fox's venture into the Other Place on last week's WRUP, he was replaced with Faux.
This is bad.

I don't know. I think she can make it work.
Now I have the sudden urge to go watch Project Runway reruns. Thanks!

Have you played Mass Effect 2? Remember the part where you get to control Joker? Good. Now imagine his voice in your head saying, "What the shit?"
That is the noise my brain made when I saw these images.

Please let this become a weekly article! Even bi-weekly! I would love to throw some stuff together and submit it.
Rhamona Q May 11th 2011 10:39PM
I agree. I am so freaking amused by this, it's crazy!
Moonfaxx May 12th 2011 2:02AM
I agree, this is a great idea for a column. However, I think it would be short-lived and much less interesting if it were done more often than once per week.
RothKeahi May 12th 2011 4:08AM
Well, unless I am mixing up my words again, I thought I meant bi-weekly as "once every other week."
Kittens May 12th 2011 6:03AM
I second this!
With all mah heart!!
Annalietta May 12th 2011 7:40AM
I third this!
As hubby read WowInsider as well I dare not say "with all mah heart", but a lot of my heart is behind it :-)

My bank is FULL of clothes for this same purpose. I get tired of looking at the same armor all the time, so I play dress-up. Every time I find a new piece of gear I gotta go through and pick out something in the bank to get rid of ;_;
gloryblogs May 12th 2011 10:52AM
Oh me too too too too too!!!111oneoneone
Please, make this a regular column.
Bond May 12th 2011 11:11AM
Yes, please do this regularly!
dannyflorida May 12th 2011 12:20PM
Yes, thank you for "WoW Fashionista." I, too, hope this becomes a regular (at least monthly) feature on WoW Insider.
I frequently want my character to dress down from their battle gear into something more appropriate for the city, for a special occasion or while performing a profession. In the past, I've found inspiration from two websites:
World of Warcraft Fashion Guru
http://www.wowfashionguru.com
Kirina's Closet
http://wowrpc.waddellconsulting.com
But, I would love to see WoW Insider's updated take on character outfits for various seasons, holidays, roles, professions, etc.

Arrohon May 11th 2011 8:31PM

dahboyo May 11th 2011 8:59PM

Dawn Moore May 11th 2011 8:48PM
Nah, she's not. But yes, Alphonse is wearing jeggings I believe.
