The Fashion of Tintin

The Red Sea Sharks

2011-12-22T01:26:00.000-08:00

Tintin & the Captain find some inspirations

through and evening of film and street style.

I love this couple in the foreground. What a lovely

green coat, hat combo, nicely finished with with

a brown tie. And the lady with the blue jacket, I love

the use of yellow with the blue and plaid. Great use

of the colour wheel. Well played.

Tintin and the Captain just passing a menswear store.

Just a small reminder why were here right now.

Its pretty clear that Tintin was designed

to be a fashion icon.

General Alcazar...Wow just wow. I know lime
green and pink work well but this is a whole
new levels of matching. Hype

Adbullah... That fashionable rapscallion. Always

up for some fun, always steezin to the max.

This is why I wake up in the morning.

Searching for this same kind of elegance.

Tintin just has that little extra, Its the same kind

of extra that Mr. Bond holds as well. Its part style,

part just who they are, partly who they have

become. Sure they exist in fiction, but we get to

take that fiction and make it our realities. We all

walk down city streets looking for adventure.

Tintin just does it differently.

I have never liked living like a refuge. I mean camping.

It makes no sense, you can only select some clothes,

and have to leave the comforts of home behind...

Soultion - bedouin tent, your home away from home.

This looks like my kind of camping

Wow. This must be the fashion police. I love how

properly they are attired. Little details everywhere.

from the sock tuck to the leather pieces. I would hate

to have these gentlemen catch me not in proper attire.

I love the juxtaposition of the gentleman in his

overalls, contrasted with the man in his suit. It

really capsulates menswear for me. Both

wearable for there lifestyles but both will

find themselves in either attire at some

point in life. Menswear is more about

clothes for life then a life for clothes

The Captain rolling up his sleeves and getting to work.

Classic Captain.

To often men forget the importance
of a simple white shirt. It is such a staple.
So often they are overlooked as boring
when in reality it is nothing but crisp.

Oh a Tintin villain looking ever so sharp.

The yellow gloves are a great add on.

Rastapopoulos - Damn him for being so evil
and every so well attired.

The Calculus Affair

2011-09-07T11:54:00.000-07:00

The Captain really switches up the style in this issue.

He really shows us some serious fashion dynamics...

This gentleman clearly like his clothing

modern as well. That cool blue suit.

I like wheres he's taking this one.

Ya I would be getting the chloroform ready to.

Just to get Calculus's coat. Olive green macintosh...

Clearly the Captain and Tintin just want to advise

this villain that wearing a trench coat fully done

up is a huge no...

Looks like someone wants the Captains ascot as

badly as I do. What a great pairing with

the safari shirt & sports coat.

Hot damn. We have a case of

effortless cool here. Its all so

good I don't like where start...

Document cases are a gentleman's

must have. Its always nice to have

some Italian leather close at hand.

Destination Moon / Explorers on the Moon

2011-07-26T20:04:00.000-07:00

Oh Nestor you may just be the

best dressed butler.

The golden age of flight. Oh how

the glory days have left us...

How proper. I think we need to go back
to boarding plans from the ground. Sky walks
are so un-fashionable.

Wow. Driver or creative director.
This gentleman is teaching a class
on classic styling. Please do attend.

Oh my God, its the fashion police.

Everyone quick put on your sports coat.

What is this? the Opening Ceremony

showroom. There must be a

_______ X Opening Ceremony

collaboration meeting down the hall

Why do I feel like this is the

fashion police dispatch office.

"we've got a 10-20 on a golf shirt

with a popped collar"

Tintin with some textbook hiking

style. The boots! That backpack!

Part Two

Who would have thought gravity was fashionable.

Looks like they took their space suit design

from Bib the Michelin man

Once more the style of a Tintin villain is

on point. Their hideout must be next to

a great menswear store.

So Karl Lagerfeld, I mean Calculus

who makes your shirts?

Land of Black Gold

2011-05-21T19:22:00.000-07:00

Wow. This Gas Station Attended is really stezzing

to maximum. Bow-tie and that bag. Nice

The next three photos remind us That
Thompson & Thomson live life to the max.
First - full service petrol - Stylish...

Second - Car broke down.. Don't try fixing it yourself.

Call the breakdown gang - Stylish...

Ohhhh Thompson & Thomson making

stylish live choices.

classic effortless Tintin fashion

Tintin Villains remind us that to be a

baddy you must also style out to the max.

check the navy coat on the gentleman on

the right. paired with an olive chino and a grey hat.

Proper.

Tintin Villains (workwear)

Wow... Get out the note pads and jot

these looks down. Beautiful work on the

little details - jean cuffs, work gloves, sleeve rolls.

Aye, aye, Captain - Love this look

Nice way to rock the brown shoe

with the black pant.

Its dark because your styles so

fucking hot.. Damn Tintin. The simple

addition of a officers hat adds so much to this look

Hope those note pads are still handy.

What a great look. I am such a

propionate of tucking in shirts.

This is why...

What a great military desert kit.

I love the sock covers. The red

wraps are such a nice hit of colour.

Oh the colours. Love the Yellow socks to
head wrap match. Even Tintin Villains
aren't afraid to rock some colour.

Tintin gets a little culture.
Keeping it mad cool in the heat.

Perhaps its the voice of the Hermes
sales associate that helped you
pick out this amazing riding kit.

Muller - Style Visionary.
That jacket / shirt combo.
Matched up with some riding
pants and boots. Practical yet
stylish.

Muller takes that same look and
dresses it up with a nice red tie and
I spy some yellow gloves that looks
pretty epic.

2011-02-02T12:14:00.000-08:00

I love the soft pallet used for the suit

and shirt. Bow tie great finnish.

colourful street style

Wow... Just wow. Tintin is a

man of action.

Alonzo must be his stylist. Because this

look just could not be better. Gun, cape,

yellow shoes... perfection

These two men are truly

showing us what casual cool is.

effortless.

Tintin and the Captain get caped up

never serve you wrong. love the scarfs.

Tintin effortless fashion as always

I love Captain Haddock's riding

gear. scarf with pin...

yellow and red... bold

I feel like Tintin needs to work on his

formal dressing. looks like the Captain

could lend a few tips

This gentleman is really showing us how to dress

in a patterned filled environment. great use of colour

When I think of classic menswear

this is what comes to mind

Ya your ready for an appearance.

love the use of the gun as an accessory

Capes are the must have menswear item.

spring, summer, fall, and winter.

He must have just got a

complement on his sensible cape

I wish i was friends with the Captain.

Nothing says welcome like a quilted jacket

These very well could be the

infamous fashion police.

sure looks like it

Yes I will stop...

and ask you where you

got that shoulder bag

I'm starting to think that Captain Haddock

may be my style icon

Clearly to roll with King Ottokar

you need to be on your Fashion

Game. Or perhaps a very

outrageously coloured

military uniform

The cane is a forgotten mens

there is enough chairs at most

events from both gentleman and

ladies to have a seat. but i also

believe that you should always be

prepared

But he went for a hair cut the other day

and came back with what i must call the

tintin flow. although it was just for the day
