Orlando Bloom: Hybrid Style
As soon as Orlando Bloom was old enough to know that actors were not really the characters they were playing, he wanted to become an actor. He yearned to use his imagination and have the opportunity to play a range of diverse personalities. This love of make believe and whimsy has defined the acting roles that Orlando Bloom has chosen, and it has most certainly influenced his quirky, lighthearted fashion sense.
Often seen in trendy suits from up and coming London designers, as well as casual jeans, pullover sweaters, and ethnic fabric scarves, England native, Orlando Bloom has a knack for appealing to the ladies, old and young alike. As well, his love of extreme sports, which was well documented during his shooting of the Lord Of The Rings trilogy in New Zealand, gives him a distinctly masculine edge.
His recent commercial for the Gap, directed by Elizabethtown director, Cameron Crowe, highlighted Orlando’s balance of looking “metrosexual” with a rugged edge. To achieve this multi-faceted approach to style, look for tailored suits with an undeniably British flair. Rather than completing the look with a traditional shirt and tie, mix it up by wearing an ascot with a v-neck t-shirt or nonchalantly wrapping a vibrantly colored scarf around your neck.
His love of snowboarding has influenced his choices in casual clothing. Orlando Bloom tends to wear loose fitting jeans and shirts and often favors the color black. He is frequently photographed wearing a knit cap, pulled low onto his forehead. For casual evenings, the look includes black jeans and a crisp white shirt with an open collar.
Moviegoers first discovered Orlando Bloom, dressed as an elfin warrior with long, flowing blond hair, in Lord of the Rings. Fortunately, he quickly returned to his natural dark brown hair that he wears just above collar length. He has been spotted with various hairstyles, usually wearing his hair sleekly combed back, as well as slightly disheveled and casual. Both hairstyles can be acquired with a dollop of gel or pomade. Depending on the movie that he is shooting at the time, you are just as likely to see him clean-shaven as with a shadow of stubble or even a retro moustache.
The style of Orlando Bloom cannot be summed up in one word. He is a hybrid of English sensibility, whimsical theatrics, and daredevil adventure. By melding the influences of his background and interests, he has developed an eclectic style. With a little mixing of your own personal influences, you, as well, can create a signature look that is all your own.
