The costume direction will be true to the series, if the designer has any say in it: on September 2nd, 2013, designer Terry Moore took to Diana Gabaldon’s Facebook page to profess her love for the books, as well as offer the fans some reassurance as to how the adaptation will go, saying, “My husband is Ron Moore [the writer and producer of the series], and he will do the books proud. If he doesn’t, he lives with a die hard fan who will not feed him anymore.”

How to Add Claire to Your Wardrobe

By integrating key elements from the novel into your own wardrobe, you, too, can have a look that is perfect for adventure and romance… good luck finding that time-traveling portal, though.

A Good Love Story Takes Time ( -Travel)

Product Information: Necklace – 1928, Tank – Bloomingdales, Headband – Modcloth, Maxi – H&M, Sandals – Asos, Bag – Modcloth.

Outlander takes the form of many different kinds of stories, from sci-fi and historical fiction to action, fantasy, and everything in between; however, at its heart, the novel is a romance, focusing on the relationship Claire has with Jamie. While their adventures take on a grand scope of a country’s history, the dynamics of their relationship – and their relationships with others – take center stage.

Integrate this celebration of the lovelier things in life with romantic fabrics, like lace and chiffon, pretty details, and airy silhouettes. A floral crinkled maxi and lightweight tank lay the floaty groundwork, while intricate detailing comes out in a lace-paneled saddle bag, woven sandals, a long flower necklace, and headband.

Antiquated Outdoorsmen

Product Information: Jacket – Old Navy, Necklace – Bluefly, Shirt – Modcloth, Bag – Urban Outfitters, Shorts – H&M, Boots – Wet Seal.

Claire’s transition into pre-1800s life is not an easy one. War is brutal and bloody (and nearly everywhere), superstition crowds religion, and neither one of the two necessarily means strong moral judgement. Worst of all, these horseback travels to faraway places are like the world’s worst camping trip. Getting acclimated to a much more rough and rugged life than the one she left behind means adopting a whole new set of beliefs, protocols, and wardrobe.
