Making it Work: Dressing the Winchester Way
Well, dahlings, we are here to discuss the fabulous and sometimes fabulously hideous fashion of the Brothers Winchester. If you wanna be a resident of the Supernatural world of glorious ghouls and hotter hotties then you’ve got to know how to dress the game.Here are some of the rules for looking like you belong to the hunter’s club.
1. The first thing you must have is a jacket. Jackets are a NECESSITY for hanging with the Winchester clan.
They can be leather (and RIP Dean’s leather jacket o’ hotness)
Post-apocalyptic camo flack (and if you don’t think 2014 AU Killer Dean is hot, then you need to just walk away now gurl)
Angelic cotton blend trench (and the bonus? This fabric is so durable that it can survive water, fire, and blood – as well as having a neat compartment for storing your wings)
Or just plain ol’ devilishly delicious green corduroy (and yeah if you notice the similarity between Lucifer Sam fashion and AU 2014 Dean fashion then you win a gold star and a big hug since it means our AU Dean was all woeful and pained.)
2. The next thing you MUST HAVE are jeans. If you aren’t carrying denim, well then you are really out of the loop.
Your jeans can be can crisp and new
Or they can be ripped and rugged
3. And of course, you can never forget your flannel.
Flannel can be for those days when you are feeling extra manly
Or when you’ll need extra warmth from the cold, cruel world
4. The next thing you must own…..career suits.
The life of a hunter can be sophisticated at times, so you must have career wear on hand.
For those late night visits to the hospital (and isn’t Sam’s hair hot here? I mean, if hair was an accessory we’d so be going there, but that’s for another time dearies.)
And sometimes you need even more formal wear (yes, Sam, even I’m agape at the gorgeousness that is Dean in a tuxedo.)
5. Always remember to have a white shirt.
6. But to go with the white shirts and the formal suits, you should always leave room in your closet for the occasional costume.
For when you are feeling holy and divine
Or when you are feeling hot
Or when you are feeling active
Or when you are feeling nostalgic
Or even more nostalgic
Or when you just feel like letting loose
The point, dear girls and boys, is to make sure that your wardrobe is just as fun as it is serious. We all like costumes every now and then.
7. Now as for accessories….you can never go wrong brightening up the wardrobe with some selected pieces or items. In the world of the Winchesters, you choose your poison.
Watches
Hats
Or even jewelry
And let us take a moment to mourn it...
You can dress like a Winchester, but no matter the material, the style, or the occasion the fashion sense of Supernatural would not be anything without these two necessities...

"No matter what, you must remember to have a jacket at hand to attend the Winchester party. If not, then gurl you are gonna end up out in the cold."
Bookdai - you missed a very important point. If I am invited to a Winchester party, I may "forget" the coat because there are two gentlemen there willing to warm me up.
Great article to wake up to - love it!!!! The last two pictures are especially yummy.
Oh, and Bookdal? "For those late night visits to the hospital (and isn’t Sam’s hair hot here?)"
The reason that I didn't notice Sam's hair in that picture was because I couldn't get my eyes away from Dean's shoulders and arms filling out that suit jacket! *sigh*
(Honestly, that man can make anything he wears sexy.)
Also: nice buttshot of Sam in ripped jeans.
When are you gonna do an article about Sam's hair?
Love Dean in blacks, blues, dark greys, and whites.
Love Sam in reds, browns, and dark greens.
Both guys look great in plaid.
Sam looks better in a suit.
:)
Now we need an article about all the weapons said brothers have in their arsenal.
Giggle snort. That's my second.
This made me smile wide and big. You, dear Linda, have just earned yourself a Little Girl Clap.
Love it. And now I know WHAT TO WEAR as opposed to What NOT to Wear.
Probably my neighboors are gonna throw me out of this building....
Loved and concur....
The only thing better than a Winchester with all his layers, is both Winchester without any layer whatsoever....
Take care,
Cla; }

you're welcome
stalkingresearching Jensen Ackles I have never seen these picture. A profound thank you.Why haven't they done that yet?
Joy abounding looking at this, although I shed a tear for the stolen Leather Jacket of Manliness. (If it wasn't so flippant, I would say that stealing that piece of divine apparel was a crime against humanity.)
And I so miss Dean's jewellery. I know the amulet got tied up with other things, but it was such a powerful symbol of all things Winchester. I hope it's found again somewhere - like around Dean's shirtless chest!!!! (Smiling again!)
All in all, and all these pictures makes me long for the good ol' days when a man of a certain standing (they're Men of Letters after all) needed "dressers". Not the wooden drawers type. But a real person who helped the man in and out of his couture.
Hand going up in the air to volunteer for that job now!
I have to say though, I am still longing for the beach episode!!! Maybe as a special treat in season 10?
Yours in dreaming of denim & flannel,
Pragmatic Dreamer
Can anyone remember when Dean stopped wearing the ring? I know when he tossed the necklace, but cannot remember the ring toss or was it just not continued?
