American Idol Fashion Mistakes

January 17, 2008 | Filed Under Fashion Tips 


Do you watch American Idol? Some of it frightens me a little bit sometimes. I mean, I love the show. I’m addicted. Every day, I’m plopped in front of mine or my boyfriend’s television, watching it.  And, to me, just as important as the people’s voices is what they’re wearing. How you dress says something about what you think about the activity

Here’s what I think: the American Idol audition is an interview. You need to dress professionally. If you don’t dress professionally, you don’t have a future for the show. For this type of thing, a suit or a dress isn’t necessary, even if that is professional; jeans are perfectly fine. On the other hand, dressing up in a costume is not acceptable. Yes, you have personality, don’t show it to us by dressing up like someone else. You won’t be taken seriously.

Have you ever noticed how nice Paula and Randy and Simon always look on the show? That’s the way it should be.

Jeans, skirts, dresses are fine. T-shirts are fine.

So, this man would be perfectly dressed for an American Idol audition, but not a job interview:

Jennifer Aniston’s outfit is appropriately for both an American Idol audition or a job interview:

This man is not dressed appropriately for either:

See the difference?
