Rizzoli and Isles Fashion: Dress like Maura Isles

by Jessica on Thursday, September 2nd, 2010

We’ve gotten another Rizzoli & Isles fashion request, and who am I to deny it? If you aren’t already watching the show, you definitely should check it out. Angie Harmon and Sasha Alexander are great actresses, and oh – Rizzoli & Isles clothing is often very stylish. (Maura Isles is my favorite. She has a pet tortoise, for crying out loud! Maura Isles is a fashion icon, too.)

Dear She’s Smart,
My name is Jackie (24 yrs old) and I am a HUGE fan of Rizzoli and Isles. I love your section on how to dress like Maura. She is such a classy and professional dresser. I am now begining my career and would like to model my work wardrobe after hers. My question is concerning a sweater worn by here in “I Kissed a Girl.”

I thought I was so ready to fulfill this challenge. SO ready! But then I realized I’d fallen behind on episodes, and I hadn’t seen the episode she was talking about. And what’s more – I needed to, because she couldn’t find a picture of what she was talking about. Luckily, I didn’t have to go through a bunch of screencaps because she directed me to the exact section of the video on TNT’s website where I’d find the sweater she was talking about. (And I made my own screencaps! Mwahahaha. Oh, I am so powerful! …Or something. Okay, fine. It just means I know how to press a button. Mwahhaha! I think the button-pressing association of America will be duly impressed.)

It’s a really beautiful gray sweater (Maura Isles clothes are great, I told you – didn’t I tell you? …I’m telling you now!) There’s some funky, channel knit work, and some buttons on the sleeves. I found some options that fit with this same idea. Some selections are a little bit more of a wide interpretation of her top, but I think Isles would approve of them all.

I especially love the Ella Moss dolman and it’s in the color “Dime” – isn’t that creative? BTW – dolman sleeves are very on trend (hot, Hot, HOT) for Fall 2010. I picked pieces here that I thought a relaxed, casual-but-style-conscious Maura Isles would like. The Gabriella Rocha dolman I included even has the same sort of graphic pattern that Isles wears on a dress in the episode.
