Fashion Meets Fandom: Abby Suso (Love, Simon)

I loved reading Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli. It's a fantastic story with great characters and I loved seeing Simon Spier's relationship grow into something pretty amazing with his anonymous friend/crush Blue (Abraham "Bram" Greenfeld). I have to get the other books in the series to see what's going to happen to these characters.

After reading the book, I finally watched the movie Love, Simon which has been sitting on my shelf for the last two years. One of my reading quirks is I like to read the book before watching the adaptation. Anyway, I absolutely love the movie just as much as I love the book. Of course, there were changes to the story but it didn't change the feeling and impact of Simon's story. I also watched all 10 episodes of the first season of the Love, Victor TV series. I really love this show as well, it's easy to see that Simon vs./Love, Simon/Love, Victor (or the Simonverse) is my new favorite fandom.

Now back to Love, Simon, in the movie one of Simon's best friends is Abby Suso and she wore some really cute clothes. Abby's style is a very laid-back look that's mixed with cool patterns and bright colors.


Her wardrobe mainly consisted of jackets (she wore a lot of bomber jackets), cute tops, cool t-shirts, jeans and gym shoes. I noticed that her accessories (rings, necklace and earrings) are very light and elegant pieces, I guess since she has such a bold personality her jewelry doesn't need to be. I think Abby has a very feminine tomboy look that's comfortable and easy to wear.  


I wanted to create an Abby inspired outfit and the first thing I chose was the jacket. Since her boyfriend, Nick Eisner is on their high school's soccer team, I chose a soccer training jacket as a subtle nod to both her being a fan of the sport and to him. Next, is a t-shirt with a cool message that highlights that Abby's originally from D.C. and last is a pair of skinny jeans. To complete the look you can add a pair of cool gym shoes and other accessories.
