Brian's Dress Styles Of Late

[The Heartical Don]

...I liked it when I saw at both BWPS shows I saw that he wore the most elemental types of leisure clothing - a simple sweater, some kind of tight training trousers (Adidas I guess), and ditto sneakers. No ambition to impress at all, more like: 'dress less to impress'.

Any takers? Photos?

[Magic Transistor Radio]

That sounds something like the guy in your photo. Columbo always appears as if he slept in his overcoat.

At least Brian isn't a slave to the Hawaian t-shirt and khaki pants look.

Brian always looks like he just came from the gym when he's on stage

Exactly! Sometimes he does a little shuffle too... very touching. Although I also like his smart 'black dress code' from the mid'90s, with the Ray-Ban Wayfarers... very handsome.

[phirnis]

I like the look he was sporting around 1978: relatively slender, full beard, medium length hair, Adidas jump suits.

I kind of like Brian's style. It's casual without being tacky (Mike, are you listening?), and it looks like Brian's just in his regular clothes, not styled or told what to wear. Brian's clothes are easy but not too "out there," just like they always have been. And I think the track pants make him look younger, actually.

The hair is a different matter. Tousled is better than slicked back or helmet-y, but I suppose either one is better than a perpetual baseball cap.

When did Mike stop his turban craze? He'd be rather cool now with that, given Obama's Caïro speech. It could make him hip again.

Stopped wearing it when he was sued for trademark infringement by Sam the Sham.

Oh. I thought Screamin' Jay Hawkins got there first... singing his immoral 'Constipation Blues'...

Good --

Not so good --

Clay - great call...

It all became confusing and scary when this guy's guys started to talk about lawsuites:

God I pissed myself just now...

[The Heartical Don]

The shirt is cool. About the expression I am not so sure...

[Wirestone]

And here's the full ensemble we're talking about:

Let's never forget though, Brian Wilson was quite simply the most hip thing around in the mid 60's

Let's never forget though, Brian Wilson was quite simply the most hip thing around in the mid 60's

Those are exceptions, though. His outfit of choice at the time was white pants, Keds, and a t-shirt. Not exactly the pinnacle of high fashion. That's what I mean when I say he hasn't really changed, although he does wear rather expensive polo shirts.

[Wirestone]

Case in point:

[The Heartical Don]

Case in point:

I notice it is 8:22:07 PM on that clock (assuming he did not work that early in the morning). If we extrapolate the length of his hair and his sideburns, and weigh in the length of sellotape used on that roll, as well as a super magnification of his wrist watch, which no doubt had a date function too - could we possibly determine which track he was working on in that picture?

AGD....... AGD....... ANDREW??

Are you kidding, maybe now and then, but there's a reason indie kids love Brian Wilson,his music and he was so ahead of the fashions

Pet Sounds photo shoot for example, that jacket and the pants..un real. Just my opion, and from what I hear from my fellow BB myspace fans 

[Wirestone]

He tries to juice things up with some Native American jewelry:

[RONDEMON]

Hilarious. I prefer his Pet Sounds/Sunflower looks the best - for what it's worth haha.

[Dancing Bear]

Maybe dork indie kids love Brian Wilson. 

[Wirestone]

Brian Wilson is the original dork indie kid.

[Shady]

Fantastic, check that shirt and hair



Speaking of indie kids, Rivers Cuomo tries too hard to be Brian IMO
