Channel Main Character Energy in these Wes Anderson Outfits

Master Wes Anderson's iconic aesthetic with this colourful starter pack

By: George Elliot

[The title is almost like an invitation or offer to the reader– channel, a verb, is used to have this inviting effect, but it also suggests that this article will have a confident and assured tone. The subheading acts as an extension to the title, and a one-line, memorable summary of what the article is going to help the reader do. It’s as if the reader will morph into a Wes Anderson character just by reading this article.]

You don’t have to be a movie buff to recognise a Wes Anderson film when you see one. Full of oddball characters, symmetrical setups, deadpan humour and quirky storylines, each comes with its own signature colour scheme that’s just as enticing, from the rich sunny yellows and punchy reds in Anderson’s first feature film, Bottle Rocket (1996) to the illuminated turquoise and highly saturated tones in his latest release, Asteroid City. So cult has the director’s aesthetic become that thousands (including Scarlett Johansson, Jason Schwartzman and Maya Hawke) have taken to TikTok in Wes Anderson-themed outfits to ‘Wes-ify’ everything from their holidays to their morning commutes. Fancy playing the starring role in your own Wes Anderson film? Here’s everything you’ll need to delve deeper into the lucid world of Wes Anderson.

[In the first sentence, using the pronoun ‘you’, the writer is including the readers in their writing, engaging them and getting their attention at the start of the paragraph. The first sentence establishes the popularity and influence of Wes Anderson films. This topic is later built on after a description of his movies and their aesthetic, after mentioning three world famous actors and using a term, ‘Wesify’ to perhaps describe a phenomena – an use of a fashionable phrase. The writer paints an appealing picture of Wes Anderson’s unique style using imagery. The writer then asks a question to the audience, an example of a rhetorical question, one used to show that the introduction has ended and now they’re diving straight into the fashion guide, further emphasised by the words “delve deeper into the lucid world..”. The words “you’ll need” invokes a sense of necessity among the readers.]

A Set of Characterful Accessories

Liberty Black With Print Cat-Eye Sunglasses, £140

Last up are the kind of charismatic, Anderson-esque accessories that’ll make your look as distinct as any that have appeared on the big screen. With tinted lenses and cat eye frames, Liberty's Black With Print Cat-Eye Sunglasses, £140 are a pair of elegant shades that’ll help you truly live out your Wes Anderson fantasy. To take your newfound sense of style to the streets, you’ll need a bag for all your essentials, so let JW Anderson's Basket Bag in khaki, £415 be your last pop of colour.

[In the ending paragraph, the writer brings the guide to a close with one last handful of essential items for the reader to accomplish their look. The writer uses attractive words like ‘charismatic’ and ‘elegant’ to persuade the reader into buying the items. Again, the writer uses a lot of personal pronouns. Words like “that’ll make your look as distinct…” and “that’ll help you truly live out your…” have been used to convince the reader that these accessories are necessary for a final touch to achieve perfection. An example of this, highlighted in red, presents the reader with a problem or a desire (the readers want to take their newfound sense of style to the streets, they’ll need a bag for their essentials) and then gives a solution, by persuading them to buy a bag.]
