SUPERHEROES

Yes, Superheroes have style.

Whether it be incognito or in their costumes, superheroes tend to follow certain styles. These days, their costumes for crime fighting have taken on a more practical approach, especially in television.

You sure about that Edna?

I was watching Supergirl, when I came across the part where they were designing her supersuit they began testing it out. Apparently capes are helpful when it comes to steering mid flight. Who knew? (probably any physicist actually...)

Less tights, more badass is where things are going these days. Heroes are looking to be more protected by their outfits while still having maneuverability. Thicker materials mean more protection.


In Arrow, their clothes look almost like armor and honestly? I would not be surprised if under the leather, there was some Kevlar or something. 

Whereas in their day to day lives, they dress to match their careers or social standing. Hiding themselves in plain sight.


And here we have the Flash (from the tv show of course) two completely different looks; one of the forensic scientist and that of the fastest man alive. Two looks for the one person.

This is what most superheroes have in common, the unassuming "normal" look and their "super" look.


These are just two examples of superhero looks from current TV shows, if I were to go into movies this would be a very, very long post. I think the main thing to take from this is everyone, whether they are super or not has two styles: the style they show everyone, and the style that is truly them.

Stay true! xox
