Welcome back to another installment of the Galactic Style Guide, the monthly series where we break down the ‘Star Wars aesthetic’ to help you create a more authentic ‘outer persona’! As I promised last month, this entry is devoted to examples of in-universe jackets drawn from the various sources of the Expanded Universe and ancillary materials. Let’s get started with the two jacket-wearers seen in the New Essential Guide to Alien Species:

based on the coloration, might we visualize this jacket as suede or velvet?



As a bit of a ‘homework assignment’, scroll back through this and last month’s Style Guide entries and pay special attention to the design of each jacket, particularly any areas that use different-colored paneling, the placement of any added details, and the overall degree of symmetry. You’ll see why next month 😉
Please come discuss this month’s additions – or let me know any examples I’ve overlooked – at the SWLH facebook community! See you then!
