How to Dress Like Pete Wentz

Pete Wentz is the primary lyricist and bassist of the hit indie rock band Fall Out Boy. Wentz is known for his original lyrics and offbeat singing but also for his impeccable fashion sense. Dressing like Pete Wentz takes some personal style and a little bit of attention but the results are worthwhile. Follow these steps to emulate his look.

Instructions

1. Lay your foundation with a pair of tight-fitting dark jeans or black mod pants. Let the pants taper a little bit so that the bottoms of the pants are fairly fitted to your legs.

2. Put on a fitted T-shirt that's either black, plain white or ironic in some way (think about out-of-the-way diners or local BBQ houses). Throw a dark colored hoodie over the t-shirt and keep the hood on.

3. Lock on some old school skate shoes or well worn Chucks and accessorize with head wear such as a beanie or the Castro-style hat that Pete Wentz often wears. Put on some thicker rimmed glasses, even if they're not prescription. Also go for some masculine jewelry like silver linked bracelets or a heavy chain necklace.

4. Change the way you dress every once in a while by going unexpectedly preppy with clean white button-down shirts and 1990s style vests. Also, keep things interesting by wearing loud colors on certain days to contrast with your usually dark and somber dress.

5. Keep a sidestrap or bike messenger's bag around at all times so you can sling it over your shoulder to edge towards an on-the-go look.

6. Opt for long sleeves and long pants in almost all situations. Try to find sleeves that go to the middle of your hand. If the pants are a bit long take a pretty wide roll to get the Pete Wentz style.
