Sometimes we’re not feeling like our best selves and even the thought of going to class can be depressing. On these days, I like to find inspiration in heroes and heroines, super or not, to make it through the day. In this series I’ll share some outfit inspiration from different heroes and heroines that you can use to boost your confidence on those not-so-good days. 

Last time on Heroic Styles, we covered Supergirl. This week, we’re catching up with the fastest man alive, The Flash.

The show premiered on October of 2014 on The CW and has aired for five seasons. It’s based on the DC Comics character Barry Allen and he’s played by Glee alumnus Grant Gustin.

In case you haven’t seen the show, here’s a quick rundown: Barry Allen was working as a forensic scientist when he was struck by lightning. After the accident, he was able to run faster than a speeding bullet and became the hero known as The Flash.

Barry’s style can be best described as classic and laid-back. His closet is full of plaid shirts, T-shirts, tailored jeans and pants, sneakers and lace-up shoes. His signature colors are red and blue (in varying shades), but he often uses neutrals and other muted colors.

If you’re running late to class and need a little inspiration, here are three outfits inspired by The Flash:

Outfit #1: To the outside world, I’m an ordinary forensic scientist

Products: Jacket – Macy’s, T-Shirt – H&M, Boots – ASOS, Pants – H&M

The first outfit is Barry’s usual one: skinny jeans, a bomber jacket and simple T-shirt.

Since this is such a simple and basic outfit, I used different fabrics, textures and lengths to give it a fresher, more interesting look. I went for a burgundy faux fur bomber jacket for a statement piece and paired it with a simple grey T-shirt and coated black jeans. I replaced Barry’s lace-up shoes with a pair of cognac Chelsea boots to keep it stylish.
