Have you ever thought about how you would have dressed up if you were part of your favorite novel’s adaptation?
To replicate the Jane Austen vibe, or channel our inner wizard, we all try to incorporate the stories we love into our outfits. Well, instead of you trying to piece together your favorite book-inspired look, we here at Kaavi have done the work for you with our latest drop; Retro Reverie. Explore our very own list of top-listed books you might love, paired with stylish outfits from KAAVI’s ready-to-wear collection, for you to show your love for your favorite characters.
“Pride and Prejudice” by Jane Austen
This novel is all about contrasting personalities complementing each other and how Elizabeth Bennet’s grounded and practical nature intertwines with Mr. Darcy’s reserved and enigmatic personality, creating an understated balance. To showcase your love for this complex yet enchanting love story, “Prussian Majesty” adds just the touch, with its deep blue base, representing Mr. Darcy’s gradual openness to Elizabeth, symbolized by the warm brown floral pattern all over the outfit.
On the other hand, if the enemies’ bit in this classic enemies-to-lovers caught your attention, then opting for “Shadow Petals” would be the perfect interpretation of that part, showcased by the beige flowers amidst the charcoal black base, hinting at the deeply distinct yet harmonizing natures of our beloved Lizzy and Mr. Darcy.
And well, if you’re like me and can’t stop thinking about Mr. Darcy walking through the fields in the misty morning then I suggest you go for “Vivacious Violet”, with a relaxed flowy silhouette in a deep purple tone, symbolizing elegance and emotional depth, just like his character as he evolves at every step of the story.
“Harry Potter” by J. K. Rowling
“I solemnly swear the I am up to no good”
If you’re also a fellow wizard and want to show your devotion to the wizarding world, then what better way to demonstrate that love than donning the colors of your house. If you’re a Gryffindor, then dress in the perfect shade representing fire with “Rhubarb Reverie”, to showcase your brave, and courageous nature, just like Harry Potter himself. For the Slytherins out there, opting for “Vivid Vine (Shamrock)” will highlight your crafty yet ambitious personality. (We see you Draco Malfoy!). Although, be careful as to get yourself associated with the sinister wizards that graced this house. Wear your ingenuity on your shoulders and you’re good to go. For those of you placed into Ravenclaw by the Sorting Hat, your go-to outfit, for sure, can be “Cobalt Beach”, to enhance your excellent wisdom, wit and intelligence. So, if you’re like Luna Lovegood and want to show your skill for learning, then KAAVI ready-to-wear has your outfit sorted out. And finally, for the Hufflepuffs, time to channel your perfect Cedric Diggory persona by donning the perfect Hufflepuff shade with “Ochre Glow”, so everyone around you knows what a dedicated, hardworking and loyal person you are.
And there you have it, your Harry Potter inspired wardrobe is all ready to go. So, as soon as you step out into the crowds, everyone knows what a dedicated Potterhead you are.
“Twilight” by Stephenie Meyer
Team Edward? Team Jacob? I prefer Team Twilight!
Yup there’s one thing all twilight readers are gonna have in common and that is their love for the series. And what better way to express this love than a wardrobe inspired by your beloved protagonists. Time to channel those mystical dark hues with “Ember Lily”, combining the deep blues and cool greys to resonate with the dark overcast skies, with white tones reminiscing pale skin of the Vampires with a touch of fiery orange tones that symbolize passion and danger.
“Emerald Embellish (Sacramento)” also nails the Twilight look but with a more modernized touch. The green shades symbolize the natural lush surroundings of Forks where the story takes place while the Black symbolizes the danger lurking in the dark for Bella Swan as she becomes more and more involved with the vampires.
“Sandy Dune” is for all the Team Jacob girlies, who’d prefer a werewolf-inspired color palette over anything else. This outfit serves the perfect look if you have been in awe of those captivating brown eyes of Jacob Black for years and wish to embody every element of his werewolf alter ego into your wardrobe.
“Shadowfire” serves the ultimate look for a Twilight Fan, with red being the cover for the novels, and also associated with the eyes of the Vampires (shout out to Vampire Bella!). The ultimate red and black combination also signifies the threats faced by both Edward and Bella with the red symbolizing how their love stays strong despite the hardships they faced. So, time to step out of the shadows and shine as bright as Edward Cullen in the spotlight.
