Quick Fashion Facts for Jean Harlow Style

Favoured Colours - White, Champagne and very dusky shades of pink and blue. Sometimes black but Jean didn't wear dark colours very often as white worked with her pale skin and hair giving her a totally luminous look

Favourite Designer - Adrian, a famed MGM designer who created many looks for Jean as well as Greta Garbo, Joan Crawford and lots of other classic stars

Key Item - A silk or satin dress that never fails to create that bombshell look

Off-Duty Style - Wide sailor style pants and a short sleeved angora sweater or cardigan

Jean loved materials like satin and silk which clung to her figure in all the right places then floated and just skimmed over the rest.

It's quite a well known fact that Jean often refused to wear underwear. Her wedding photos to Paul Bern even had to be retouched by the censors as the bright sunlight, flimsy white fabric and lack of under garments caused quite an alarming effect. This isn't something recommended in today's society, unless you want to attract all the wrong sort of attention.

A white fur stole or coat is an absolute essential for those who want to recreate a little of Jean's bombshell style. She was often pictured with some plush item or accessory.
