8 Trends as Told By Tim Burton’s Cult Characters (3 of 5)

Let go of the need to fit in

One thing Tim Burton does best is celebrate the misfits and oddballs. Through his films, he encourages us all to embrace our weirdness and let it shine through our fashion choices. Studies show that clothing has a direct influence on our psychological state, so it is important to do what feels good when selecting clothes. If there’s something you may not be sure of or anxious to try out, just go for it! Fashion is meant to be an expression of self, not constrained by rigid rules or stigma. 

Silhouettes are a good focus

Another staple of Tim Burton’s style is Victorian style, specifically silhouettes. He does this by contrasting these vintage looks with bright, more contemporary colors. This style can be seen throughout his films, but “Sweeney Todd” and “The Corpse Bride” are two characters that embody his Victorian style the most. Victorian silhouettes are a style that anyone can achieve, with the use of a corset or a high neckline.
