About the Film:
This all-time classic romantic comedy starring Woody Allen and Diane Keaton took the Academy Awards by storm in 1977 with 4 wins including best picture and best director. The story revolves around a nervous political comedian, Alvy Singer (Allen) and his relationship with the quirky and lively Annie Hall (Keaton). The film, considered one of if not Woody Allen's most popular film he's directed, is praised for it's honest portrayal of relationships and their cycle. Annie Hall's menswear inspired style remains on of the most influential examples of fashionable androgyny on film with instant popularity in street style upon the film's release as well as continued inspiration today.
LOOK 1: Crisp and Comfy
- A textured trouser in a neutral shade like gray is comfortable and a staple of Annie's and one that any woman would benefit from having in her closet.
-A cotton button down shirt in a dilute plaid is the perfect addition to a menswear inspired ensemble like Annie Hall's. Look for one that's fitted, accentuating the feminine shape. Fitting is key in a menswear inspired look to keep it chic and not frumpy.
-A simple black cardigan in a simple classic that adds finish to the look. Look for one that's fitted or cropped to balance out the volume of the trousers on the bottom.
- Black oxford flats are frequently worn by Annie and look great with the above look!
LOOK 2: Classic Annie
-What Annie Hall inspired collection is complete without a waistcoat? This vest is simple, has great detailing (buttons, pockets, buckles etc) and is in a awesome neutral color (typical of Annie's ensembles).
-A white button-down shirt is a must for anyone who wants to get Annie-inspired fashion fast. A collared shirt is a great layering piece and translates into a variety of ensembles.
- Show off your shape with a pair of high-waisted pleated shorts in a coordinated shade. The trouser-like elements offer polished androgyny while the high waist and short hem shows off the figure.
- Brown oxford flats are classic Annie and are comfy and cool.
- Annie is often seen wearing hats, including a black fedora. This one is a classic model with a wide band, similar to one Annie's seen wearing in the film.
LOOK 2: Literature Class
- A fitted plaid blazer is quirky and reminiscent of the 70s when the film takes place.
- Layer a lightweight black turtleneck top for a clean palette.
- A pair of light khaki skinny jeans are sleek and in a shade that is typical for Annie to wear.
- Tan oxford inspired ankle boots are trendy but look great with a narrow bottom like the skinny jeans.
- Annie is often seen wearing aviator sunglasses and the effortless cool vibe they have contrasts nicely with the buttoned-up feel of the ensemble.

Love it. I did an Annie Hall look recently and loved how it turned out. I'd love to see you do more of these as they really are inspirational.
