Happy Idea of the Year: Pharrell and His Trusty Hat


2014 has been a year of bad news ranging from missing airplanes, racial issues, gender issues, and missing dictators (*cough Kim Jong-Un). We're really grasping for happy straws this year. Thus I wanted to start off my first post of 2014 on a happy note with, possibly quite literally, the happiest person of the year.

Not only does Pharrell have his insanely popular Oscar nominated song but he also got a chance to sing alongside Daft Punk on their new album. Yeah, this guy is having a good year.

Pharrell Williams may very well be one of Hollywood's most stylish men however, he's more well known for his incredible hat than his incredible style. Which is why he is this year's easiest costume choice. Put on your sharpest (track) suit and add a few dozen gold chains for flair and you just might be the bell of the ball. Of course, top it all off with Pharrell's signature hat and you have yourself the best dressed costume of the year.




Who this costume is for:
  • Ballers
  • Track Suit Enthusiasts
  • Anyone looking for a good hat hunt
What you'll need:
  • Your best clothes
  • Your flyest kicks
  • Gold chains galore
  • Bling up to your eyes
  • But mostly just a really large mounty hat
Rating: Easy

Best Movie of the Summer Idea of the Year: Moonrise Kingdom

There are a surprisingly low number of movies this year that have been able to produce iconic looks for their characters. Sure Looper and Magic Mike may have been some of the more stand out films this year but do you really remember what they were wearing (or not wearing in the case of Magic Mike) as opposed to films like Black Swan and Drive  that came out last year? We may not remember the plot of Drive in the future but we'll never stop associating that movie with that iconic scorpion jacket. Natalie Portman gave an unforgettable performance in Black Swan however, her make up and costume will give you chills to remember for decades. It's unfortunate I can't get that feeling from any movies that have been out this year! The movie that comes the closest to a memorable wardrobe is none other than Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom. Anderson is a man that always gives his characters a very unique iconic look and Moonrise Kingdom is no exception. You still see pe

The Downward Spiral of Syfy Idea of the Year: Sharknado

The Syfy channel may be bordering on the lines of Sci-Fi these days with titles like Sharktopus and Dinocroc vs. Supergator (which are all perfectly adequate costumes by the way) but for some reason nothing can even come close to crossing the line between ridiculous and completely awesome quite like Sharknado .  For those who have never heard of this truly mind-blowing sensation here is the trailer to catch you up to speed: In terms of things taking the internet by storm, Sharknado was definitely one of my favorite things to witness blowing through our lives. The tweets surrounding it might have been just as enjoyable as watching Tara Reid escape this jaw-dropping epidemic or land sharks in tornado form. Which is why, in my deepest belief, a Sharknado costume would be more deserving of a high five than anything else we see come out of this year. Read those tornado costume tutorials online because this one is worth it! Who this costume is for: Fans of Sharktopus Thos

Kawaii Ojiisan Idea of the Year: Sailor Suit Old Man

Can we start off the 2013 Halloween season with this guy? I think we should start off 2013 with this guy. Meet "Sailor Suit Old Man," aka Hideaki Kobayashi aka GrowHair, a cosplay photographer who is famous in Japan (and all over the internet) for dressing up as a school girl every day and rocking it. What do we really know about this guy though? Is he a rock star? I wish. Is he a weird old guy who just happened to be a Tokyo notable? Definitely. Kobayashi is a cosplay photographer who just happens to want to dress like a school girl all the time and lives the dream doing so. Nobody gets the least bit famous simply by being themselves so today I'd like to raise a glass (and this costume tribute) to this guy for being famous for being every bit of himself. If we learn anything from this guy, it's that school girls will flock to you if you have the confidence to put on a cute skirt. Who this costume is for: Anyone who dreams of cross-dressing  Ev
