I have recently become obsessed with the underrated Judd Apatow show Freaks and Geeks, which literally launched everyone including James Franco, Jason Segal, Seth Rogan and Busy Phillips. This show focuses around the life of Lindsay Weir (Linda Cardellini) her brother Sam (John Francis Daley) and their respective freak and geek friends. Despite being set in 1980, Freaks and Geeks makes some interesting style statements which clearly fit in with the Autumn/Winter 2010 aesthetic; secretly I can't help but hope Christopher Bailey took tips from Sam Weir this season..
Shearling
I wouldn't be surprised to see anonymous hipsters in the coat Sam wears throughout Freaks and Geeks and Nick's jacket is very similar to one that is currently in Topshop.
Due to my love of shearling, I will clearly be channelling Sam Weir this season.
Military
The jacket that symbolises Lindsay's 'rebellion', she always wears it when she's one of the Freaks, is clearly a reference to the military trend.
Maxi Skirt
Intended to be reserved and signal Lindsay's return to the mathlete fold, spotted in the 2000's on Mary Kate..
Camel
My personal favourite Bill rocking camel, as seen in abundance at Chloe this season. Mr Weir also looking stylish in a cardigan/tie combination.
Shirts
Lindsay and Nick, in checked and safari shirts.
Notable Mentions:
Bill in a fishing hat.
Sam's stripe/chino combinations.
Nick's high waisted maroon trousers.
Daniel's leather jacket addiction.
Aah this has cheered me up slightly, now I have no episodes left to watch. Clearly a show that should not have been cancelled on such a cliffhanger, I now just have to dream that Daniel bonded more with the geeks, Lindsay and Nick reunited and most of all that Lindsay got a new jacket after she returned from stalking The Grateful Dead..
