Michael Jackson's Style Legacy, From Military Jackets to One Glove
Michael Jackson is a pop-culture legend because of his groundbreaking work in music and movies and his visionary music videos. But
Jackson, who died Thursday in Los Angeles, will also be remembered for his eccentric, creative and sparkling sense of style.
Just as his music and dancing have influenced today's young artists, from Justin Timberlake to Chris Brown,
Jackson's style has also had an impact on many artists as well.
Jackson first burst onto the scene in the 1960s alongside his brothers in
Jackson 5. At the time, it was all about bright colors, bell-bottoms and printed tops. The guys kept up the look with a few tweaks here and there throughout much of the 1970s, including their signature Afros.
In the 1980s,
Michael Jackson began a fashion revolution for himself, embracing a slimmer silhouette, shorter pants, bright-colored socks and, most importantly, sequins. This is also around the time when some of
Michael Jackson’s most recognizable pieces of clothing found their way into pop-culture history.
Accessories were key to
Jackson's look. He embraced chunky belts, armbands, sequins, hats, straps, ties, patches, sunglasses and even makeup. If
Jacksonn could make his eccentric sense of style even more theatrical, he would. He never shied away from standing out in the crowd while onstage and in videos.
But the most iconic
Jackson accessory is his now-legendary single white glove. It might be the one piece of clothing most associated with the singer. No matter what
Michael Jackson wore before or after he introduced the white glove to his aesthetic in the '80s, it would be the defining fashion moment in a career full of groundbreaking style.
