I'm sure you've all seen this video. Ok go on the treadmills? (How cool is this by the way?) Anyway, when I saw this video the first thing I noticed was how well dressed the guys of Ok go are! They all look so chic in their pink, vests, and ties. So I decided to look a little further into the matter, and found that Ok go are usually dressed well! Examples:





(This pic looks like Mick Jagger! Agreed?)
Don't you just love it when guys dress well? Especially in bands. It can be hard to mold their style into your own though, just because of the fact they are guys. Here's a few of my ideas to make Ok go's look your own.

Step One: Blazers Why not try a cute blazer? Over a tee or even a shiny top, like these boys do. It's masculine-chic, but still girly, especially when in a cute color. (Juicy Couture actually has a cute red velvet one that I've seen twice, but for the life of me I can't find it online. Probably because it's on sale . Try Bloomingdale's or any Juicy store.)

Step Two: Shine & Stripe Tops Shiny tops, or stripes are great. Try a bright color of shine, something you wouldn't normally wear, i.e. shocking purple. Try a low cute or buttoned top when it comes to stripes. Oh and try a Michael Stars top, like the one in the top left corner. They all have glitter embedded in the fabric. And why not layer any of these under a wool-but-fab vest?

Step Three: Ties Ties aren't just for the guys anymore! Add one to any layer to add a level of style or professionalism. Want one different than the one's in your Dad's closet? Try a metallic or a designer name one, like this Pucci one, left.

Step Four: Menswear Don't be afraid to venture off into the other side of the store! Try a mens top, it might be a bit big on you, but with your tight little jeans and jewlery, you can glam it up! Or go the other way; steal one of your little brother's tees that will fit you nice and snug. Some guys' stuff is actually cute, and a lot of designer brands make mens lines. (like Dior homme, which Mary Kate and Ashley wear all the time!)

Step Five: Button-Down Shirts Not quite ready to branch off into guy's clothes? Fine! Why not try out one of those striped shirts you've seen a million times at HCO or A&F? This one from Abercrombie and Fitch is totally the cutest one I've seen yet. It's women's wear, but it's on the edge enough to make a statement.

Steps Six and Seven: Men's Accessories and Pink You know you've seen dozens of these type of socks before when you sort socks when doing laundry. How cute would a pair be sticking out of your converse when your are wearing a mini skirt? (Can you tell that I want to raid my Dad's closet? I just think I could make some of his stuff cute!) High socks are popular anyway, so put your own spin on them--male. And, since the lead singer wore pink pants, I had to include these Juicy velour ones. That way you can be cozy while still being chic. Pair them with a vest or tie? Who's Your Daddy?

I got to see OkGo at the Teen Vogue Fashion University concert, and you are right, their style is so unique and matches their crazy personality.
Good take on their style!

Has anyone else noticed that they do that video in ONE TAKE?! that is amazing. actually, you can see one of the guys trip at the begining, but thats probably as close as they got to perfect. still, they are AMAZING.
kudos to you! i've always thought they were pretty damn well-dressed myself!
Oh wow, that's some great ideas. I might just have to check out my dad's side of the closet next time I go raid my parent's stuff.
