The Rest of Dale’s Outfit
Now you have the jacket from My Dead Friend Zoe Merchandise let’s finish Dale’s style. Start with a flannel shirt. Pick one in muted colors like red, green, or navy. Something that feels like it’s been washed a hundred times. Button it up all the way, or leave it open over a plain tee. Next, get some sturdy pants. Dark jeans work great but if you want to go full veteran, get cargo pants in olive or beige. Wear them slightly loose, not tight. For shoes, go with worn leather boots. Brown or black is fine just make sure they look like they’ve seen some dirt. If you have an old leather belt lying around, thread it through your pants. A little wear and tear on it only adds to the charm. Add a plain cap with no logos. Dale’s not fancy, and neither should you be.
