Stone Temple Pilots, challenged the grunge of the 90’s with melodic Beatles-y pop, infused with Zepplinesque riffs, tied together with Weiland’s stream of conscious lyrics which conjured images of black clouds and purple flowers. Scott Weiland's music does not neatly fit into any sub genres of rock, yet is unquestionably rock n' roll. Likewise, his style encapsulates the best aspects of rock n’ roll fashion.
After going through the picture archives on belowempty.com (the source for everything STP related) it is clear that Scott Weiland is a true showman who understands that a concert is an audio experience as well as visual spectacle. Weiland's style takes its cues from rock legends such as David Bowie, John Lennon, Keith Richards and Iggy Pop.
If you have seen Scott Weiland live you know what a dynamic performer he is, but for the purposes of this post I will focus on his stage outfit. He is serious musician who clearly has fun dressing up. Weiland has performed wearing Kiss makeup, dressed as Hedwig, and even like a member of Judas Priest. A typical show will go as follows: Weiland takes the stage fully layered and accessorized with a leather jacket, fitted blazer, or fur coat, mirrored aviators, assorted scarves and a hat. After the first few songs, the hat and shades come off and he sheds a layer to reveal a patterned button down, a vintage t-shirt, or a simple white tank. The songs ensue, he dances, and his chemistry with the audience is infectious. For the last two songs including the anthem “Sex Type Thing” Scott is shirtless displaying his lithe torso and arms adorned in tattoos. On one particular STP tour, Scott ended the show by stripping down to nothing more that an American Flag wrapped around his waist. Unfortunately I didn’t have the privilege of being at that show or for any of STP's performances before 2008 (I became a fan a little late in the game). These days he performs in a three piece suit, or a simple blazer accented with a bare chest.
Fortunately for all SW fans Scott Weiland now has a clothing line, a collaboration with Christopher Wicks’ of “English Laundry”. “Scott Weiland for English Laundry” is a collection of blazers, button downs, and vests all evocative of Weiland’s signature look. I assume the collection is intended for a male consumer, but I’m sure girls can also pull it off. I often take men’s clothes to the tailor to get fitted. All this talk about Scott Weiland’s style makes me wonder if I’m more psyched for English Laundry or the upcoming Stone Temple Pilots album?

i used to love this man to no end. I even have this old photo of me from about a decade ago at Lolapalooza holding up a shirt for him that says "I pretend my boyfriend is Scott Weiland when we're having sex". The look on his face when he saw it was freaking priceless lol.
you've got me very intrigued, gonna have to check him out x
Delicious style.. He looks so cool!
indeed that music and fashion have been closely related and influential to each other ... and menswear can sometimes provide us with some of best items, xoxo
I'm not well acquainted with rock & roll legends and their fashions, so I'll comment on the Tit Tees promo video which I just watched for the first time!:
Seriously awesome, I love it and you looked wonderful! sincerely
Cool pictures! :) And thank you for stopping by. My car is being put into the garage so I'm car-less! It feels sooo weird!

I do have a soft spot for SW, a man who took self indulgence to a whooooole new level - even for grunge artists. Not afraid to lose the shirt either... respect. Was listening to Atlanta today, great song...
Wow, I haven't listened to STP in ages. I was barely a teenager when their hit records came out and I listened to their stuff all the time. I lost a bit of interest when he joined Velvet Revolver though. Thanks for the style collage. I had forgotten how creative he was with his looks, though I do vividly remember the fur coats and the naked torso ;-)
I like your idea about getting men's clothes tailored. I'm always swimming in shirts I buy in the mens department and adding a skinny belt for "fit"...I don't know why a tailor never occurred to me! Also: Scott Weiland = So Sexy in That Crazed Artist way....
