Coordinating Couple

Note to David and Victoria Beckham:

In honor of Valentine's day, I am posting about you two, one of my favorite fashionable couples. Some people love your style and some people loathe your style.  I am generally on the team that loves your style. It has not gone unnoticed that you two have a polished look, and your ensembles are always thought through.  The two of you never look like you just threw something on and ran out the door.  I appreciate you giving fashion that respect. 

Note to Readers:

First of all, Happy Valentine's day!  Also, sorry for the lack of posting this week.  I have been busy with work. This blog does not pay my bills, so until it does, there may be some days where I can't get to posting.  The lack of posting in no way reflects my feelings for you all.  J'adore all of you.

Now onto the topic du jour; dressing as a couple. Whether you are in a relationship now, or hope to be sometime in the near future, I hope that at some point this information can be helpful to you.  You do not need to coordinate your clothing everyday, that would be overkill times ten!  When you have an event, or know you are going to be photographed you should try to wear clothing that complements each other.  NOT MATCHING.  Seriously, matching outfits on couples make me nauseous.  Just make sure your colors and/or prints do not clash.

Now we all know I appreciate the Beckham's style as a couple, but which couple's style do you admire?

And the Winner is....

Note to Brad Pitt:
Congratulations on your big win as the Fashion Noted Best Dressed Male Celebrity poll! Now I know what you are thinking, with Angelina by your side, a few adorable kids, some Oscar nominations, and pretty much being the winner of a genetic lottery with your painfully good looks, you thought that life couldn't get better. Until now. You beat out some formidable foes, your pal George Clooney, David Beckham, the eccentric Johnny Depp, and Justin Timberlake. I don't have an actual trophy for you, but you can print out this post and frame it somewhere in one of your homes. Or if you want to contact me, I could probably be persuaded to send you some kind of a certificate, and maybe I'd personally deliver it. My email is fashionnoted@gmail.com. Keep up the fashionable ensembles, this title comes with the responsibility to continue dressing well.

Note to Readers:
If there is one thing we can learn from Brad Pitt, it is that the fit of your clothes makes all the difference. What is the point of having the body of a Greek God if you hide it underneath baggy clothing? Now we may not all be blessed with rock hard abs, but you will be surprised what a difference having properly fitting clothing will do for you. The key is not to go too tight or too loose, you need to find that perfect medium. For example, just because you can button up a shirt that is a size 6, does not necessarily mean it is the right size. Make sure your the fabric isn't puckering anywhere or pulling at the closures. Also make sure your figure isn't getting lost in a sea of fabric, that will only make you look shapeless. Try on different sizes and ask opinions to see what fit is best for you.

In honor of our winner, here are a few pictures of Brad Pitt's style.

Brad dressed up in a classic gray suit with a skinny tie, and in his functional yet fashionable biker gear. Usually I am not a fan of men in leather, but when you are Brad Pitt, you can break a few rules.


In a casual, monochromatic look. The hat makes the look more interesting, and takes it from a regular jeans and t-shirt outfit. A perfect example of picking just the right accessory, without looking like you are trying too hard.

Thanks everyone for voting, and I hope you are pleased with the results!

The Style of Coldplay

The men from Coldplay

Note to Coldplay:
I saw you in Vegas this weekend, and you were everything I always hoped you would be... and more! This is a fashion blog, not a music blog though, so lets talk about your style. You have been wearing a lot of military inspired jackets lately, which is a good look, especially for a rock star, but maybe you guys can try something a little bit more fashion forward? The military look has been sported by many, including you for a while now. I know you are famous for your music, and not your clothing, but maybe try to incorporate some fitted blazers or colored shirts at the very least. Thanks. Also, Chris Martin, the lead singer who is married to Gwyneth Paltrow usually gets all the glory, but please note Guy Perryman the bassist on the far left. Why are there not more photos of him floating around? Just a thought.

Note to Head-to-toe black ensembles:
While outfits like you may look good in photo shoots, in daily wear try to implement at least one item with color too keep you from looking too dreary. Notice how the drummer's white scarf breaks up the black clothing and makes a large difference in his outfit. In the summer, wearing all black is not practical but it also looks out of season. Women who want to wear all black outfits, try wearing a colored shoe, or a brightly colored necklace, to keep your look interesting. Men wearing all black, try wearing a colored belt or tie.

I hope that you are all enjoying the blog so far, and thanks to everyone who voted in the poll! I hope you all are having a good Monday! Also, if you get a chance to see Coldplay while they are on tour, I HIGHLY recommend going!
