Outfits Inspired by Heroes: Man of Steel

Just in time to get you in the mood for the Man of Steel premiere tonight is our take on the classic Superman look. It may not be the Nolanverse-gritty-and-dark, but while Clark Kent is down to Earth, Superman was born to stand out.

I give you Pa Kent’s farmboy (plaid shirt for $24.29) look with a Superhero logo (tank for $18.99) bursting to get out. The Kent faux-glasses (no-brainer for $3.25) are an optional but fun and cheap way to get in to character, though you’ll never find Krypton without our take on Superman’s booties (high tops for $32.00) and belt (woven with gold buckle for $2.47). Finally, combat that deadly kryptonite (necklace for $13.95) with some old American glory (shorts for $17.00) and you’re ready for a kick-ass premiere!

Casual fun at the movies is a summer staple, but what about those supergirls who have a wonderful guy or gal to spend a dinner/movie date night with? In case you’re looking to get a little more dressed-up to see your Man of Steel, check out the look below.

Feel the wind in your hair and in your flowy outfit (dress for $29.50)! But remember to keep cozy warm in a dark theater with a cape of your own (sweater for $26.65). Pair that with some towering shoes (wedges for $9.74) and you’ll be ready to leap tall buildings in a single bound (do not attempt)! Be your own Jimmy Olsen and use the signal watch (uni-sex watch for $15.00)in case the film gets too long and boring, though at least you’ll have something shiny to look at if you need some solitude (crystal-ish bracelets for $15.00). Finally, remember where it all started 75 years ago with the comic-inspired headband (super cute for $8.00)!

Have a great time no matter what you wear this weekend and check out some of our other superhero-inspired outfits here!
