This is the third post in a back-to-school movie inspiration series. Be sure to check out the posts inspired by Grease and Mean Girls.
Since The Breakfast Club is probably the No. 1 high school movie of all time, I couldn’t very well do this series without including it. The movie had a huge impact on the teen film genre and has been extremely popular since the mid ’80s. Ally Sheedy and Molly Ringwald play the roles of the two main female characters, but I drew outfit inspiration from the whole Club and translated their looks into five modern wearable outfits: The Princess, The Basket Case, The Athlete, The Criminal and The Brain. Enjoy!

Do you think these outfits represent the characters? Which character is your style most similar to? I’d love to hear from you!
I adore this post — what a fun idea! And the fashion you picked for the different high school personalities was spot on. I found you via IFB; I’m a new member as well!
Stop by my site to say hi sometime.

Style-wise, definitely the basket case! The criminal is fun too, but it’s really only in my head that I’m a bad-ass.
