Geek Chic: Fashion Inspired by The Hunger Games

After her father’s death in the coal mines, Katniss becomes the sole breadwinner in the Everdeen family due to her mother’s extreme depression. Katniss does everything she can to ensure the safety of her mother and her kind-hearted younger sister, Primrose.

Although you probably won’t be hunting or evading Capitol Peacekeepers anytime soon, you can channel Katniss’s rugged spirit with a utilitarian parka and gray jeans. Layer a cargo shirt over a brown thermal henley; for extra warmth, slip on a cozy knitted vest.

Accessorize with lace-up, knee-high boots for some of that District 12 toughness and add bow and arrow earrings to represent Katniss’s archery skills. Finally, a squirrel pendant references the woodland prey that keeps Katniss’s family alive.

The Reaping

Compared to other districts, 12 doesn’t have the best track record in the Hunger Games. Haymitch Abernathy, a surly drunk, is the only living victor from 12. Since it essentially spells certain death for two of the district’s children, nobody’s particularly thrilled to attend the reaping. Nevertheless, the townspeople must put on a good show for the Capitol broadcasters, so they all wear their best clothing to the ceremony, which is hosted yearly by Effie Trinket, the Capitol escort for District 12.

Older children have a higher probability of being chosen, since more entries are garnered with each year of age; poorer children are also at a disadvantage because food rations can be exchanged for additional entries.

Muted grays and blues dominate the District 12 reaping apparel. A pleated blouse and chambray skirt are a simple but pretty combination; a woven leather belt, gray tights and Mary Jane flats add to the feminine look.
