Style Complex Halloween Costumes: Jon Gosselin

We’ve come to the last day of our week-long Complex Halloween Costumesseries, where we showed you how to recreate costume looks for Kanye West at the VMAs, Kenny Powers, hip hop’s favorite cop Officer Ricky and former NY Giants receiver Plaxico Burress . So let’s see: you’ve got the emotionally unstable superstar, the ultimate asshole, the exposed rapper and the jail-bound athlete. What archetype is left? Ah yes, the douchebag.

And what better douchebag is there to be in 2009 than reality show “star” and recently divorced father of eight, Jon Gosselin. We won’t go into why Jon G. is a douchbag—if we did detail the fact that a soft shell crab has more of a backbone than he does, or the fact that he’s dating a jump off 10 years his junior, or that he really expects people to pay him $10,000 per club appearance, we would be here all day. And, really, we don’t even need to speak on all that, all we have to do is a shine a light on his new found bachelor wardrobe which seemingly consists of nothing but Ed Hardy and True Religion Jeans. If this sounds like the perfect costume for you, keep reading to learn how to put it all together.

Style Complex Halloween Costumes: Plaxico Burress

If you found our other three D.I.Y. Halloween costumes—Kanye at the VMAs, Kenny Powers and Officer Ricky—to be not quite hilariously scathing enough of our society, maybe you would rather dress up as an all-star athlete who threw away a $25 million dollar contract by accidentally shooting himself in the leg.

We’re talking about none other than former New York Giants receiver, Plaixco Burress! We feel sorry for this firearm toting fool—almost killing yourself seems like punishment enough to us—but not sorry enough not to wring all the laughs we can get out of his situation. If you feel the same, read on to learn how to perfectly capture the look. Just remember to leave the guns at home. We don’t want life imitating art.

Style How to Dress Like Robin Thicke

Robin Thicke may have taken Justin Timberlake’s spot as every rappers’ favorite R&B white boy, but we remember (fondly, it seems) when dude was an unknown, long-haired, soul-singing hippie. Damn, things done changed. Since he dropped his debut album in 2003, he stopped going solely by his pause-worthy last name and he, thankfully, completely cleaned up his look.

Long gone are Robin’s bohemian, bike-messenger threads and unkempt curly locks—today, he’s rocking tailored slacks, shirts, and vests. Last Friday at the Keep A Child Alive Ball in NYC, we spotted Robin stunting in a three-piece suit with his beautiful wife in tow. While we can’t help you land a dime for a wifey, we can help you look the part. Read on to find out how to get Robin Thicke’s look below….

Style How To Get Jamie Foxx’s “Law Abiding Citizen” Red Carpet Look

Whither Jamie Foxx, hilarious comedy dude? Not that we didn’t enjoy him in Collateral and The Kingdom and other dramas, but word to the Joker: Why so serious? We miss the In Living Color Jamie, the Booty Call Jamie, even the The Jamie Foxx Show Jamie. That’s why we were so excited to read that Mr. Foxx is about to star alongside Zach G. and Robert Downey, Jr. in a new movie (out 2010) from homie that made The Hangover. It’s about damn time, man. We couldn’t deal with shit like The Soloist much longer.

Of course, Jamie still gotta get his acting on, so we have to put up with nobody’s-smiling flicks like Law Abiding Citizen, out tomorrow. But whether it’s funny Jamie or not-funny Jamie, we can all agree he usually manages to stay fresh. At the L.A. premiere of his new movie last week, Foxx rocked a luxe leather car coat, simple gray v-neck, raw denim, and a pair of Roper boots. You wanna rock this, too? Read on to see how to dress like Jamie Foxx…

Style How To Dress Like Dwight Schrute from The Office

Dwight Schrute may stand for “Determined, Worker, Intense, Good Worker, Hard worker, Terrific” but, honestly, we believe he’s much more than that. Yes, he may be awkward, a little intense, and even a bit creepy sometimes. He’s definitely not someone you’d want to leave a child around…or anyone at all, actually. But let’s just admit it: One of the reasons we watch The Office is to see what crazy shit he’ll pull next.

So he may be the neurotic creeper at work but have you ever considered adding stylish to Dwight’s description? With the middle-parted hair, thick-rimmed glasses, and impressive sideburns, this budding Parkour professional/Dunder Mifflin superstar definitely has a “unique” fashion sense. After all, his wolf shirt was such a hit with the ladies during Jim & Pam’s wedding that we had to try it for ourselves. Read on to see how to achieve Dwight’s best looks…

Style How To Get Chromeo’s “Night By Night” Look

(Left to right) Dave 1 and P-Thugg

You probably remember Dave 1 and P-Thugg of Montreal duo Chromeo, from our Style Breakdown from a few years back, but outside of that (and some random MTV ads), the group has remained relatively unseen in the mainstream. Reemerging with the release of their new single, “Night by Night,” Chromeo’s first original song since 2007, the group is proving that they are still worth your attention.

Judging from the single cover, their style has evolved a bit since we last saw them. P-Thugg has graduated from a Starter jacket to a sophisticated leather car coat. As for Dave 1…well, he’s still killing that ultra slim-fit collegiate hipster steez. Maybe their differences is what make Chromeo so tight—and one of the few Jewish/Arab collabos that hasn’t resulted in violence. Keep reading to get the look from Chromeo’s “Night by Night” single cover…

Style How to Get Young Jeezy’s Complex Cover Look

“Never wear anything that you wouldn’t want to wear in jail,” a guideline that southern rapper Young Jeezy has followed everyday when it comes to getting fresh. Sure the statement may seem a little extreme to those of us who aren’t involved in any bing-worthy activities but we can’t front, Jeezy makes his clothes work for him. That said, you won’t catch the snowman rocking skinny jeans and colorful dunks anytime soon. Sticking to classics like leather jackets and 59/50 fitteds, the Trapstar manages to own an aesthetic different than the usual rap trendsetters, and still look cool. In our October/November issue, Jeezy stepped it up a notch, but wore clothes that would be welcomed in any hood. Read on to see how you could get Mr. Jenkins’ look…

Style How To Get Clipse’s Complex Cover Look

(On Pusha T) Hat and Sweater by Play Cloths, Denim by Artful Dodger, Sneakers by GF Gerre (On Malice) Vest by Play Cloths, Shirt by HUF, Denim by WeSC, Sneakers by Air Jordan

When’s the last time a rapper started a clothing line that was dope? Damn sure wasn’t Nelly’s Vokal or Master P’s weak-ass P. Miller line. So what makes brothers Pusha T and Malice think their brand Play Cloths has what it takes to be any different? Well, for starters they both have a style that runs circles around most other rappers (sorry, Percy). And if their line is half as ill as their rhymes, Play Cloths will be nothing to play with.

At the Complex October/November cover shoot, the duo made it clear their style is to be taken seriously. A mix of dope-boy fresh and urban cool guy, the Clipse’s steez is one of a kind. (Clearly, all that time with Pharrell paid off.) Blessed with a flow just as raw as their style, this group is a force to be reckoned with on any front. Don’t worry bout being Mr. Me Too, this one’s on us. Read on to find out How To Dress Like Clipse in Complex’s Cover Story…

Style How to Dress Like Drake & Lil’ Wayne in “Money To Blow”

Usually when we tell you guys how to get the look from a video—like last week’s style guide to the “Forever” video—we include all of the performing artists. But since we couldn’t advocate dressing like Birdman, we had to switch up the formula. (Sorry big homie—time to get a stylist.) Drake, on the other hand, has the style to match his flow while Lil’ Wayne has enough swag to make most outfits work. (Long live the plain white tee.)

A quick reminder: These posts do not provide exact carbon-copy ensembles, but are instead meant to serve as guidelines on creating a similar outfit. That said, read on to learn how to get the Young Money look and still have some cash left over so you can afford that 24-hour champagne diet…

Style How to Dress Like Chris Brown (Community Service Edition)

Everybody loves a good girl that’s gone bad, but what about a bad guy that’s going good? If you do the crime, be prepared to do the time—or at least to pick up the horse shit. This week, Chris Brown began his 180 days of community service after pleading guilty to assaulting Rihanna. After rocking a questionable baby-blue getup on Larry King, the singer was spotted looking considerably more casual while cleaning out manure from horse stables in Virginia. You can debate whether or not his outfit is fashionable, but one thing’s for sure: We wouldn’t want to be in his shoes. Learn how to get this look if you can, minus the smell…
