What to Wear http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/dangerous-writers-night-of-writing-dangerously/threads/29638 esmi Okay I know we don't HAVE to dress up for NOWD, but I think it would be fun. Any ideas on how to dress for the "noir" theme?

Everything else I have is going. Except the fedora. I never look good in a hat.

Also being able to wear a fascinator hat is just fun. ;) Tue, 08 Nov 2011 09:16:12 -0800 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/dangerous-writers-night-of-writing-dangerously/threads/29638?page=1#forum_thread_comment_576457 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/dangerous-writers-night-of-writing-dangerously/threads/29638?page=1#forum_thread_comment_576457 Stephanie Kelly I'm personally going for the whole "femme fatale" theme of Noir Films.

So I think of vintage dresses with classic shapes, shirts and blouses with interesting striking lines or patterns, ladies wearing dark red lipstick, high contrast ensembles (like white on black or black on white), etc. Dick Tracey films are typically shot with a noir theme, so that might be a good search term to look up on the internet for images.

Another great source for noir comic book color schemes.
