Trench coats are a wardrobe staple and they’re definitely a must if you’re a detective. I started off with a long, pinstripe skirt with a matching crop top for a modern feel.Īlong with a simple black fedora, I added a bright burnt orange trench. I went a bit more traditional with this Rusty-inspired outfit to reflect his personality. However, at the end of the day, he always gets the job done. Rusty is a no-nonsense guy that only bends the rules when he feels like it. Rusty is also one of my favorite partners of Cole’s, especially when he continues to be friendly with him after Cole’s secrets come out. The two take their time to develop a friendship.

Products: Shoes – C21, Jeans – Mango, Hat – Kohl’s, Top – Boohoo L.A. And lastly, don’t forget your trusty fedora. Throw on a similarly-colored, pinstripe off-the-shoulder top (so trendy this summer!) and slide into a pair of denim block heels to dress up the jeans and make them look more office-friendly. Whether you prefer them ripped or not is all up to you, but Stefan is the kind of guy that doesn’t mind getting his hands dirty at work. Like Cole, he aways wears a suit and a fedora.įor a more fashionable twist on Stefan’s work attire, start off with a pair of light blue jeans. Stefan is easily my favorite partner that Cole has and he’s even a bit of a jokester. Noire Fashion – Stefan Bekowsky Photo Credits – Rockstar GamesĪlthough the two don’t begin on good terms when they initially meet, Stefan Bekowsky and Cole eventually become great friends and an even greater detective duo. Products: Shoes – Lulu’s, Dress – Mango, Bag- Mango, Hat – Nordstrom Rack, Lipstick – Charlotte Russe L.A. You’re ready to romp about L.A in a look Nancy Drew would kill for. Don’t forget to add a black fedora - every good detective has one.īreak up all the black with a deep red lip and a burgundy crossbody bag. This one looks great with trendy black suede mules. If you’re not feeling a suit, try a more casual pinstripe dress. Although a majority of his wardrobe is made up of suits, his style vibe is “sharp dressed” and that makes him great inspiration. Though Cole Phelps has some demons of his own, I must say, the man can dress well. Though he comes home a hero, he refuses to talk about what happened during the war.

Noire Fashion – Cole Phelps Photo Credits – Rockstar GamesĬole Phelps is our main protagonist and a war veteran turned detective for the LAPD. So, step into the world of L.A Noire and find some inspiration in the three looks I’ve provided below. Did I mention it was also one of the first video games to be shown at the Tribeca Film Festival? Though the premise sounds simple, I can promise you that this game may change the way you think about video games.

Yes, there is shooting, fist-fighting and crime-solving, but the story behind everything is what really stands out. L.A Noire is not your typical action-adventure detective game. And it started with this game right here. While I’ve been playing games since I was a child, it wasn’t until 2011 that I really began to appreciate video games as an art form. I’ve been doing Video Game Fashion for a while now, so it may seem like playing video games have always been a big deal to me.
