Riotously violent, darkly subversive and enduringly quotable, each of Quentin Tarantino's beloved films have rightly
gained cult status over the years. It helps that they ooze style: from lurid Hawaiian shirts to solemn monochrome
suiting, the various looks sported by Tarantino's best-known characters have become engrained in our collective
sartorial consciousness and continue to influence our wardrobe choices. Here, we reinterpret five of the most iconic
looks from the filmmaker's impressive back catalogue, with a carefully curated selection of new season clothing and
accessories that you can shop now on TheRake.com.
Django, Django Unchained
Django Unchained's ultra-suave protagonist was certainly onto something with his killer cowboy ensemble.
Richly textured fabrics and deep autumnal colours are key here: in the cooler months, one can never go wrong with
the fail-safe staples of brown boots and suede field jacket. Finalise your outfit with a felt fedora and leather
driving gloves for a truly Django-approved look.

(sold out).
Butch
Coolidge, Pulp Fiction
Pulp Fiction may have been released 25 years ago, but its styling is just as relevant today. Of all the
noteworthy looks (and the film is teeming with them), we can't help returning to that sported by the aptly-named
Butch Coolidge. White tee, blue jeans: it doesn't get more timeless than that.

jeans, C.O.F Studios; Brown suede brady hiker boots, Grenson.
Seth Gecko, From Dusk Till Dawn
Whilst we certainly don't advocate taking tattoo inspiration from George Clooney's character in From Dusk Till
Dawn, we can advise emulating the rest of his style. Keep it simple yet elegant with the ever-versatile
combination of navy blazer and plain white tee. A pair of dark sneakers adds a casual touch, bringing you
effortlessly from boardroom to bar. So cool, it's criminal...

Clarence, True Romance
An Elvis Presley mega-fan, True Romance's Clarence offered his own kitschy take on the King's iconic '50s
style. Bring the look into 2019 with a timeless black leather jacket layered over a luxurious wool cardigan and
paired with vegan leather sneakers. Throw on a pair of aviator sunglasses for true rock 'n' roll appeal.

Sheppard; White vegan leather sneakers, Yatay.
Mr Blonde, Reservoir Dogs
The black suit is a recurring costume staple throughout Tarantino's films, but no character pulls it off better than
Mr Blonde in Reservoir Dogs. As Tarantino himself put it, "You can't put a guy in a black suit without making him
look a little cooler than he already looks”. Skinny black tie, dark sunglasses and cigarette dangling from mouth
complete the iconic look.
