Everyone knows scientists are typically at the tippiest top of haute chic. That’s why this slideshow of astronomy-inspired fashion is long overdue. Surprisingly, I like a lot of the clothes shown, and I love the second one in the lineup.
The leggings, though, I can do without. They’re, um, not precisely my style.
Tip o’ the coiffeur to Jim Kakalios. Yeah, that Jim Kakalios.

I think very few people could pull off those leggings, figuratively and literally. Love the idea though!

Unsolved problem in physics: How do 300 lb fat-ass women manage to squeeze themselves into a pair of leggings?
September 11th, 2009 at 2:21 pm
why can I always pick out the most expensive one to like?
$1,170?!
That’s why I don’t go shopping– but it does look great on her

Don’t those shoes hurt when you wear them, Phil?
September 11th, 2009 at 2:24 pm
EW!!!
September 11th, 2009 at 2:31 pm
Phil has skinny legs
September 11th, 2009 at 2:44 pm
Come on, Phil.. You’d look GREAT in those leggings…
September 11th, 2009 at 3:15 pm
“Look at the pretties!!!”

“Universe man, Universe man, size of the entire universe man…”

You gotta be kidding. Doncha think they’d show off your telescope handsomely?
September 11th, 2009 at 3:42 pm
Don’t mind me, I was just admiring your globular clusters!
September 11th, 2009 at 3:46 pm
Turn around so we can see if there is a black hole in there somewhere
September 11th, 2009 at 3:57 pm
I think you should wear those when they take the photo for your next book.
September 11th, 2009 at 4:14 pm
Don’t lie, Phil… I’d recognize those legs anywhere! And your shoes are to absolutely die for!
September 11th, 2009 at 4:14 pm
Pfffft! All of those clothing designers are hereafter officially banned from my Moon Base and Spa.
Narry a go-go boot among them.
September 11th, 2009 at 4:44 pm
I would pay good money to see a pic of Phil wearing those leggings.
He could be, like, a superhero!
September 11th, 2009 at 5:19 pm
I hate to say it but those look like something an astrologer, not an astronomer, would wear.
September 11th, 2009 at 5:44 pm
I always liked my galaxy shirt with the arrow showing “You are here!” Phil, I love your shoes! You are almost in orbit when you put them on.
September 11th, 2009 at 5:46 pm
Are those bracelets or hand cuffs?
September 11th, 2009 at 6:26 pm
I wanted to comment on those leggings, but all I can think of saying is… no. Just plain no.

Not only is space-time warped, its stretched all out of shape!

You’d have to, did you see the prices?
September 12th, 2009 at 3:03 am
Hey, I’d wear ‘em. I wouldn’t look good but that’d be more my fault than theirs!
Better yet, I’d like to see & be going out with someone shapely and sexy who does look good in these wearing them …

Risto silk galaxy pants, $684
Peter Pilotto Air dress, $1,170
Oh my god!!!! you have got to be kidding. I just don’t get it. Who in there right mind would pay 684.00 or 1170.00 for a piece of cloth. Sure they look okay, but 1170.00 for a dress not a chance in hell.
September 13th, 2009 at 7:07 pm
Wow, those are quite some hefty price tags! However, if cost were no issue, I could be persuaded to wear most of those (maybe not the leggings, though, I’ve got the shape but not the style required for them) and I’d LOVE to wear the little green and black dress in #6!
