So let's continue our shopping trip with Brian.

(I hope everyone can read it, because I'm too lazy to type it out)

"Our sharpest dresser, Brian spent a small fortune at boutiques. Collecting clothes might have been his kind of therapy, as he shopped more frequently during times of stress: the day after his court case was adjourned he went to Chelsea Antique Market for a spree typical in its list of exotic purchases: a mandarin coat, a pink fringed coat, pink velvet cape, a flannel-and-lace jacket, embroidered and velvet jackets, two velvet scarves, four pairs of trousers, two kimonos and two scarves, two strings of bells, a blouse and a pink beaded belt. In New York, too, Brian had indulged himself in expeditions to the ladies jewelry departments of such stores as Saks Fifth Avenue and Bergdorf Goodman. A New York journalist friend commented: 'If he gave nothing else to the world, Brian was the first heterosexual male to start wearing costume jewelry from Saks Fifth Avenue.'" -Bill Wyman, Stone Alone, 1990  

I'm not sure where to start exactly, because as one could already read in the quote by Bill Wyman, Brian had lots of clothes, but I'll try. 

So let's start with this:

Brian's outfit at Monterey Pop Festival, 1967 is maybe one of the most known (or maybe I just see it a lot 😅) I'm not sure what he's exactly wearing, because it's not just one thing, but several layers combined... or like Eric Burdon said in his song Monterey: "His Majesty, Prince Jones, smiled as he moved among the crowd" A lot of his outfits definitely had a certain extravagance...

They're definitely not something everyone could pull off without ending up looking totally ridiculous. (In my opinion: You either have style or you don't, that's not something you can learn nor you can buy.)

Maybe not that known, but they're no words to describe how much I love his boots and coat. ❤

Same with this jacket:

If sb ever sees a similar one, pls tell me, because I need it very desperately. Thank you.

Ehhh.... sorry for this. Now back to the real thing:

It's hard to make out the key items about his clothes at this point, because there's a lot of variety, but a few things are always coming up, for example scarfs, jewelry and hats (can't forget about his awesome hats)

Ehh... what else? 

I suppose I should mention this too:

In the British GQ Style's fall/winter 2014 issue, you can find a Brian inspired photo-shoot (or you can just google it)

And well to close this thing (or else I'll talk about this forever and I think I'm near the picture limit again):

"Together they (Brian Jones and Anita Pallenberg) forged a revolutionary androgynous look, keeping their clothes together, mixing and matching not only fabrics and patterns, but cultures and even centuries. Jones would parade the streets of London wearing a Victorian lace shirt, floppy turn-of-the-century hat, Edwardian velvet frock coat, multi-coloured suede boots, accessorised scarves hanging from his neck, waist and legs along with lots of antique Berber jewelry. According to journalist Al Aronowitz, 'Jones was the first man I ever knew to wear costume jewelry bought in the ladies' department at Saks'. At Courtfield Road (Brian's London apartment), Chelsea's power pair played host to a constant stream of beautiful people from John Lennon and George Harrison to Sonny and Cher, Donovan and Jimi Hendrix. Trendy film maker Donald Cammell, heir Paul Getty, and Britain's bright young thing would gather at the South Kensington flat to smoke dope, drop acid and discuss the issues of the day. Observed Anita: 'Brian was very interesting socially. He dealt with the fame and all that. He picked the best, the cream, Dylan, Terry Southern, Warhol. Brian set the pace'."- Geoffrey Giuliano, Paint It Black - The Murder Of Brian Jones, p 47-48.

"One of the best things about visiting Anita and Brian was watching them get ready to go out. What a scene! They were both dauntless shoppers and excessively vain. Hours and hours were spent putting on clothes and taking them off again. Heaps of scarves, hats, shirts and boots flew out of drawers and trunks. Unending trying on of outfits, primping and sashaying. They were beautiful, they were the spitting image of each other and not an ounce of modesty existed between two of them. I would sit mesmerised for hours, watching them preening in the mirror, trying on each other's clothes. All roles and gender would evaporate in these narcissistic performances, where Anita would turn Brian into the Sun King, Francoise Hardy or the mirror image of herself." -Marianne Faithfull and David Dalton, Faithfull, Penguin Books, London, 1994, p 90

JohnsGirl11 asked last chapter what happened to his clothes after his death...
And because I thought it was important, here's the answer: 

Some of his things are with different people like Anna Wohlin, but most of them like clothes and photographs have been taken by Tom Keylock who destroyed most of them as far as I know.

Like always if there is something you want me to add, talk about or whatever comment. 😊

Requests and questions are welcome too.

Next chapter will be about hmmm... either his death, something about his personality or a request. (depends on how much time I get and how fast I can repair my laptop... Usually that wouldn't be much of a problem, but most of my Brian things are on there... I don't even know if this chapter turned out somewhat alright... I might edit it later...🤔)

Thanks for reading, voting and everything else!✌
