Fandom Fashion Finds: April Picks
Marvel
Last month Besamé debuted their Peggy Carter Field Agent Lip Kit and this month they’ve followed it up with the cleverly packaged Passport Eyeshadow Palette ($36) and Invisible Dusting Powder ($35). The Agent Carter collection is also coming soon to Box Lunch and ModCloth.
Besamé also introduced Avengers’ Infinity War products for pre-order. The Infinity Stones Eye Shadows ($37.50) are influenced by the 80s while the Infinity Stones Rollerball Lip Glosses ($34.80) have a lava lamp look inspired by the 70s.
Her Universe came out with an athleisure line for focused around the Infinity Stones with a much different aesthetic than any of their previous athletic or athleisure wear. It’s nice to see them change things up. Find the collection ($22.90-$49.90) at Hot Topic or Her Universe. I had my eye on the Space Stone Tank ($22.90) but couldn’t find a size that fit right. Hopefully you have better luck. Torrid’s Infinity War collection from Her Universe includes the Avengers Galaxy Sports Bra ($42.90) and leggings ($56.90).
ThinkGeek came out with a mini Infinity War-themed collection for men. This Groot Split T-Shirt ($19.99) (affiliate link: support these posts at no additional cost to you) brings something a bit more to a typical movie t-shirt.
Star Wars
SOLO
The Solo: A Star Wars Story apparel merchandising train has left the station and since the movie is still nearly a month away there may be even more. Here’s my picks from what we’re starting with:
After The Last Jedi, there’s more interest in Han Solo’s dice than ever. Luckily, Solo is not skimping on incorporating it.
Solo: A Star Wars Story Dice Bracelet ($18.90) at Box Lunch
Solo: A Star Wars Story Dice Earrings ($12.90) also at Box Lunch
Millennium Falcon & Dice Layered Necklace ($12.90) at Hot Topic
Versions of the new Han Solo jacket can be found at Hot Topic in men’s sizing from Our Universe ($59.99) and ThinkGeek – Han Solo Faux Suede Replica Jacket * ($99.99) brings something a bit more to a typical movie t-shirt.. At least one more company will have one but it won’t be out until later this year.
Lando’s cape also comes in two versions: The ThinkGeek Lando Calrissian Replica Cape * ($69.99) and the Hot Topic / Our Universe one ($59.90).
