How to Channel Arcane's Jinx Style into a Daring Everyday Outfit

The new season of Arcane is starting to gain popularity, and we again get to take a glimpse of the lives in Piltover and Zaun. I believe there is one character in the show whose energy is unmatched and always keeps us on the edge of our seats with her wild energy, boldness, and raw emotions. This is Jinx. She’s a perfect mix of chaos and heart, a character you can’t help but love. And that’s exactly why we’d want to rock her style.

Transforming Jinx's edgy, punk-inspired look from Arcane into an elegant everyday look that only just hints at the iconic show and isn’t a full-on cosplay really isn’t that difficult. Jinx’s persona is bold, chaotic, flashy, and unpredictable. Despite her wild, often destructive nature, she’s deeply emotional and vulnerable, and this is exactly what we are looking to incorporate into our look.

Let’s start with a color palette that matches the above-mentioned description.

1. Colour Palette:

Jinx's attire prominently features deep purples, blacks, and browns – these colors represent her darkness, emotions, and her villain side. To incorporate her chaotic mind into the dark colors, we should add eye-catching details – particularly the ones from her bombs and graffiti.

Feel free to use this palette we made as a guide:

Primary Colours: Opt for dark and dull browns, blacks, and grays as the base. If you are feeling more funky, dull pink and dull purple would also work fantastically as base or a second fundamental color.

Accents: Incorporate bright or even neon purple, blue, green, and pink as accents of the color. Golds are also present in her outfit. Such details can really elevate your look, so make sure to add golden jewelry like rings or bracelets or a belt with a golden buckle.

2. Tops:

Structured Corset or Bustier: Choose a corset with intricate detailing, reminiscent of Jinx's cross-laced tank top. Find materials that are elegant and comfortable enough to take fights in – velvet, cotton, neoprene, leather, or nylon.

Crop Tops: Crop tops have always given that rebellious feeling to any outfit. Fitted or loose, both would look great. They are versatile and offer a variety of prints that can highlight the free spirit of Jinx.

3. Bottoms:

Tailored High-Waisted Trousers: Select trousers in a deep purple or black, possibly with subtle pinstripes to nod to Jinx's striped pants. Corduroy fitted pants with a wide leg would give the same effect.

Leather Pants: With their grunge vibe and unique texture, they would serve as a perfect base for an outfit that incorporates a colorful top or jacket.

4. Outerwear:

Pick something that stands out. A bomber jacket that reminds of graffiti or paint splashes would do the trick!

Cropped Leather Jacket: For a more daring look, a high-quality leather jacket adds edge without compromising elegance.

5. Accessories:

Belts: Incorporate a sleek belt with metallic details to emulate Jinx's waist accessories. It must be in a warm tone and have gold details.

Jewelry: Opt for minimalist gold pieces, such as a cuff bracelet or thick gold rings to subtly reference her hardware.

Gloves: Consider elegant black leather gloves as a nod to her fingerless gloves. Or you could directly get the same ones as her!

Pins: Pins are an excellent way to add more personality to an outfit or also color. Go for neon ones and pin them to your pants, jackets, bag, or collar.

Adding fishnet tights helps the layer the look with something more wild and edgy.

6. Footwear:

Ankle Boots: Choose black ankle boots with a moderate heel, possibly featuring subtle buckles or straps.

Converse Shoes: The classic Converse absolutely match Jinx’s personality – messy and untamed with a dash of effortless cool.

7. Hair and Makeup:

Hair: Style your hair in sleek, long braids or a polished updo to reference Jinx's iconic braids. An alternative hairstyle I love and believe matches Jinx’s energy is wavy or curly hair in half-up, half-down pigtails. The messier this hairstyle – the better! Hair ties in neon colors are a must!

Makeup: Opt for bold eyeliner and a deep berry lip color to capture her fierce look in a refined way. Try darker eyeshadow in either black, dark purple, or pink.

Nails: Jinx has an iconic nail look. Almost neon pink with her signature blue tone that alternates on each finger.

If you're looking to bring Jinx's iconic style into your wardrobe with an even deeper connection to the Arcane universe, why not consider adding some official Arcane merchandise to your collection? Official merch offers high-quality, unique pieces that can help elevate your look while staying true to the show’s aesthetic. Arcane has a collaboration with BlackMilk Clothing that will come out very soon, and the sneak peek of it promises a very stylish lookbook.

Finding your own style is a journey of self-expression and creativity, and there’s no right or wrong way to approach it. Fashion is all about having fun, experimenting with different looks, and embracing what makes you feel confident and unique. Whether you’re channeling Jinx’s chaotic energy or blending in your own personal flair, the key is to enjoy the process and celebrate the freedom that fashion gives you to reinvent yourself. And if you were looking for concrete examples for clothes to buy to look like you are Arcane’s next protagonist or something truly one-of-a-kind, I suggest looking for hand-made clothing and accessories on Etsy. Supporting independent creators not only helps you find unique, personalized items that stand out, but it also gives you the chance to wear something that's only yours. After all, style is not just about what you wear, but how you wear it and how it makes you feel. I’m sure Jinx would stand behind that.
