Okay, so I got thinking about Stevie Nicks the other day. You know, her whole vibe. And I went down a bit of a rabbit hole looking at her stage clothes, just trying to figure out what made them so iconic, so her. It wasn’t like a formal study or anything, just me digging around online and in my memory banks.
First thing I did was just pull up a load of pictures. Old ones from the Fleetwood Mac days, newer solo stuff. Just scrolled through, letting it wash over me. What jumped out immediately was all the flowy stuff. Shawls, ponchos, long skirts, bell sleeves. Lots and lots of layers.
It wasn’t just random, though. I started noticing patterns.
Stuff I Kind Of Noticed
- Lots of black, yeah, but also deep colors like burgundy or emerald green, sometimes creams and whites.
- Texture seemed super important. Velvet, lace, chiffon, silk… things that move when she moves.
- Fringe! On shawls, on sleeves, everywhere sometimes. And beading, bits of sparkle.
- That sort of ‘boho-chic’ label people use? I guess. But it felt more… I don’t know, mystical? Maybe ‘witchy’ is the word people land on, but it’s more ethereal than spooky, if that makes sense.
- The boots. Usually some kind of platform boot, kinda grounding all the floaty fabric. Practical for performing, I bet.
I spent a good while just looking at how she put things together. Sometimes it’s a simple velvet tunic and pants, other times it’s like, multiple shawls and intricate tops all at once. But it always looked comfortable, like she could move freely on stage, which is key, right?
Then I stumbled across something mentioning she’s worked with a designer named Margi Kent for ages. That made sense. Having someone help translate your personal style into stage-ready outfits? Pretty smart. It explained how she kept that consistent look while still having unique pieces.
So, after all that looking and thinking, what did I figure out? Well, it wasn’t really about copying one specific outfit. It was about the feeling. That free-spirited, slightly mysterious, totally confident vibe she has. She found her lane, style-wise, and just owned it completely for decades. It’s all about the drape, the layers, the movement, and just being unapologetically herself. Pretty cool when you think about it. Made me want to dig out an old flowy scarf, anyway.
