Gleeful Style

October 23, 2009

Along with everyone else in the nation, I’m completely hooked on Glee. It’s a musical-geek’s fantasy, and its endless drama is the stuff of my dreams. The Quinn/Finn/Rachel triangle and fantastic songs (Sweet Caroline, anyone? Hot damn!) aren’t the only reasons to tune in, however. The over-the-top, flawless style is enough to keep anyone coming back. Some of my favorites: Kurt’s ridiculous turns in Marc Jacobs, Mercedes’ endless supply of ghetto fabulous, and Sue Sylvester’s countless (but let’s be real, fabulous) Adidas tracksuits. The style heroines of the show, however, have to be Emma Pillsbury and Rachel Berry. Rachel’s unexpected geek-chic and Emma’s ever-so-ladylike J. Crew-esque ensembles have me weak in the knees. If only we had all been brave enough to dress like that in high school…
