How to dress like a Mac

I love Apple’s latest television ads in which Justin Long is the cool and casual personification of the Mac. His look can easily be summarized as:

• Smart, but approachable
• Informal and casual but not slovenly
• A simple color palette of cool blues and greys
• Minimal, with no visible logos or slogans

If you want to truly show your devotion (obsession) to your beloved Macintosh, here’s how and where to get the look:

The basic outfit

Justin most often wears an unassuming outfit that consists of a solid colored hoodie, plain t-shirt, slightly-distressed jeans, and simple slip-on shoes:

1. Zip Front Navy Hoodie
   BDG at Urban Outfitters
   $39.99

2. Jersey Slate T-Shirt
   American Apparel

3. Distressed Blue Jeans

Tips to complete the look

To finish your Mac makeover, there’s a few more things to do:

• Stand with your hands in your pockets a lot, but keep the thumbs out

• Avoid jewelry and extra decoration. Minimal and simple is the Apple way

• If you’re a guy, facial hair is okay, but keep it trimmed and neat

• Paint your walls white

• Smirk

Ladies?

I apologize, I don’t know a whole lot about women’s clothing, and it seems like Apple doesn’t either. Any suggestions?
