7 Summer Outfits Inspired By Freddie Mercury

When you think of Freddie Mercury, you likely picture a white tank top and studded belt. Or maybe white pants and a yellow moto jacket. Or even a pink top and black skirt a la “I Want To Break Free.” The truth is, Freddie was a style icon. He’s my number-one all-time love. I mean, I have the man tattooed on my arm. He’s amazing, and his fashion choices were just the icing on the iconic cake. So this summer, let’s all take a page from Freddie’s book and fall in love with colors, patterns and just plain whimsical fashion finds. Freddie wore whatever he wanted and whatever made him happy—something we can all learn from.

This will always be my favorite “Freddie Casual” look. Even the chairs in the background of the photo are on-trend.
