INFATUATE: Stand By Me + 24 years

Stand By Me. For some, it's the last real taste of innocence, and the first real taste of life. But for everyone, it's the time that memories are made of. Four young friends set out on an adventure.

This movie is one of my all-time favorites and everyone knows someone who can relate to one of the characters. What's interesting to me is that aside from one quick apparel change by Teddy- from Hawaiian shirt to fatigue gear - the four main characters are dressed in the same clothes throughout the entire movie. The costume of each really helps depict the character. You knew Gordie was the innocent one with his backpack and ball cap. Chris was the rebel with his white tee and black converse. Teddy had a toughness with his military influence. And Vern was easily picked on in his polo and chinos. The costumes are one of the reasons the characters are so memorable and the movie so unforgettable. These looks, 24 years later, still stand the test of time. Here's what I think these kids would be wearing if the movie came out today.


Gordie LaChance - "Wagon Train is a really cool show, but did you notice they never get anywhere? They just keep wagon training."

Topman Striped Tee, Vintage Levi's 501, Pro Keds, Fjallraven Back Pack



Chris Chambers - "You wanna be the Lone Ranger, or the Cisco Kid?"

Supreme White Tee, Rigid "ipod worn" Denim, Undefeated x Converse Weapons

Teddy Duchamp - "Two for flinching!"

Surplus and Adventure Tee, Levi's Black 514

Vern Tessio - "If I could have only one food for the rest of my life? That's easy. Pez. Cherry flavored Pez. No question about it."

Gant Rugger Polo, J.Crew Urban Slim Broken-In Chino
