Lol, gonna have to mix it up then. That's what those products are :) Hmmm... Great thoughts. Thanks. Will definitely keep that in mind as we scale.

http://famousoutfits.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/zac-efro... come on, these look nothing like wayfarers. you're pushing it with that jacket, too. i realize you have to match on a budget, but details matter here. that will help build credibility and authority in fashion. i didn't mean to nitpick or sound too cynical, i think it's a great idea. good luck.

Thanks for the feedback. AS you notice, we want to keep it afforable. Same overall look, but different because of price. Will work on being more accurate though. Thanks!

If you made this as a commercial venture you are probably infringing on these celebrities personality rights.

This looks pretty neat and you did a great job with your Pin It buttons. You may wish to consider adding this META:

... to the HEAD of any page that already has a Pin It button aboard. This will tell the Pinterest browser extension not to bother showing hoverbuttons on this page.

My roommate works at RewardStyle, you should look into their platform for monetization. It's pretty awesome.

I was going to respond in a snarky tone about the absurdity of there being such a thing as personality rights. Fortunately, I googled it first: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personality_rights

Why put David Beckham's socks on here when you can clearly not see them in the picture?

I like the concept - most of these kinds of posts are done completely ad hoc and are distributed across all of the various men's fashion forums - but the URL made me think this was going to be a breakdown of famous outfits worn by characters in TV and movies (e.g. The Driver's outfit from Drive). Also, most of the outfits you picked are pretty stale. Go for one that are more exciting or with pieces that would be more…

I've created a site just like this as a side project. Especially relevant with Halloween right around the corner:

And since you mentioned it, the Driver:
