Those of you who know me know that I love Star Wars, a LOT.

For those of you who don’t know me, I’m Francesca and — you guessed it — I love Star Wars maybe more than life itself. And because I love it so much, I try to weave my fandom into my personal style.

Mixing fashion and fandom isn’t new for me. For my semester project in my Produce Line Development class we had to develop an entire line of clothing from start to finish and I created a line inspired by Disney characters. It was a way for me to showcase my passion for all things Disney while simultaneously proving that dressing like your favorite characters doesn’t have to be juvenile at all.

With the recent release of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, I thought I’d take inspiration from my favorite franchise and create some wearable, non-costumey Star Wars outfit ideas. Scroll on down to see some of my modern Star Wars looks.

Princess Leia Outfit

For Princess Leia, the white dress is the most important element. (See our guide to Princess Leia’s style for even more outfits inspired by this iconic frock.) Instead of the floor length dress she wears in the first film, a shorter dress is more on trend. In place of her silver belt, I added a black leather “fanny pack”.

If I were to wear this look I’d probably add some earrings or a necklace that were space themed in some way. Maybe these earrings.

Darth Vader Outfit

The vibe for Darth Vader is obviously really edgy and dark.

Let me preface this by saying I realize everyone doesn’t want to go walking around town in a full blown cape — I certainly don’t. That’s why the main focus of this ensemble is the flared sleeve, oversized jacket. It gives the illusion of a cape, but you still look fashionable and put together.
