Peter Parker

Peter Parker, played by Andrew Garfield, is a good-natured teenage boy who was raised by his Uncle Ben and Aunt May after his parents were killed in a mysterious plane crash. His hobbies include skateboarding, science, and photography. Although he’s relatively introverted, Peter has a wry sense of humor and can be brashly sarcastic even when he’s about to get pummeled by Flash Thompson.

Of course, once he’s bitten by a radioactive, genetically manipulated spider, everything changes…

Product Information: Jacket, Hoodie, Tee, Jeans, Sneakers, Loafers, Tote, Glasses

Peter wears the standard Hollywood geek uniform (see also: Leonard from The Big Bang Theory) of jeans, a graphic T, and a layered hoodie and cargo jacket. A cliche combination, perhaps, but it’s always cute and comfy. If it ain’t broke…

Snare Peter’s laid-back style with your own version of the “uniform” that lets you wear your favorite beat-up hoodie and grungy vintage T-shirt, while still looking put together. Add a quirky camera tote bag and black glasses that are similar to the ones that Peter wears. (Bonus reference: this particular Warby Parker eyeglass style is called “Webb.”) Last but not least: shoes! If skater sneaks aren’t up your alley, try out a glittery pair of loafers for a more feminine hit of sparkle.

Spider-man

A while back, my international roommate asked me why Spider-Man is such a beloved superhero in America. I’m pretty sure it’s for the same reasons that people tend to prefer Batman over Superman: Peter Parker is a flawed human being to whom we can all relate. He’s the eternal underdog trying to protect his city even though he’s villainized by the press. (Bruce Wayne at least has his fabulous fortune to back him up.) Peter exhibits poor judgment at times and doesn’t always have the right motivations. But at the end of the day, he always remembers that with great power comes great responsibility.
