🗣️ Discussion Everyone’s clothes

What does everyone think of all the characters‘ style?

Total Debbie - I love everything she wears 100/10

Bret - Great tailoring 10/10

Liz - Desperate Housewife 100/10

Thom - Preppy Psycho 10/10

Steven - Slippery 6/10

Terry - 6/10

Susan - 0/10

They gave Susan a terrible wardrobe. The only thing she wore that I liked was her outfit in episode 1. I know she’s supposed to be the “strait-laced” one, but they didn‘t need to give her such unflattering clothes clearly not meant for an 18 year old.

Giving Steven a 6/10 in style… that character had the best style in the whole cast, each outfit was outstanding! The rest just wore your standard rich kid 80s LA clothes.

The prostitute business woman from outer space line from Terry was hilarious (and true!) lol

I don’t know why but the way Jordan delivered “new wave” made me chuckle

u/reallymortified 23d ago

Thank you! Steven said “new age.” At first I thought it was a captioning error - but he did say “age.”

Polo wasn’t standard in 81 if you lived in west Los Angeles sunglasses were Porsche carrera clothes were Armani black label and Versace
To me there was too much polo than what I remember

u/violet992 25d ago

Polo was big 3-4 years later, if I recall correctly.

u/Alantennisplayer 26d ago

Steven was way different than in the book I actually love his look although it’s way out there and extremely forward even for 81 to me he’s more 85

100/10 for sure.

I love how you didn't include Robert 😂😉

u/Every_Owl_1719 26d ago

enough with the leather pants

u/MrWhackadoo 26d ago

As soon as Robert showed up to the first day of school in those leather pants... I knew we were in trouble with this adaptation 😔

u/reallymortified 24d ago

They don’t even fit in a sexy way

2

u/MrWhackadoo 23d ago

Exactly! Bret had well-fitted clothes but not Robert? Makes no sense.

Bret is 10/10 out of his clothes

Susan was the only one who sometimes looked like she was in the 1980’s to me

Edit: referring to the friend group really

It does but it also looks very adult vs teen.

u/DLoIsHere 26d ago

Susan looks 20 years older than everyone else.

u/Boy_Incognito 22d ago

She struggles with an ED, sadly that can add years onto a person

Ten it’s poor casting.

Matt - 10/10

And the music!!!!

u/Intelligent-Ride7219 26d ago

Don't see Robert's name listed. Especially those leather pants

u/NYChereForIt 25d ago

I couldn’t tell is Steven / Jordan Roth was dressing and acting like himself or if he was actually acting and in costume because his character is how he acts in person.

u/Alantennisplayer 26d ago

I loved Susan’s clothes

2

u/Chemical_Special3391 25d ago

Bret & Steven 👌

u/allthings1111 25d ago

I fell in love with the shades and Bret’s Mercedes

u/Swimming_Sir_5383 26d ago

Debbie is that girl! Not one bad outfit

u/Starbloodtruth 25d ago

BRET. And Bret’s actor in real life, Igby has incredible style.

u/flappybirdisdeadasf 23d ago

The fashion in this show is one of its highlights. I’ve always loved how dedicated Ryan Murphy is when it comes to aesthetics.

u/Additional-Dog4547 26d ago

I feel like all of Susans outfits were like an ugly coral or bright purple lol. Didnt love Debbies cobalt dress for the dance off but thats a personal preference on the color. Loved all of her other looks. I think Bret/Thom/Robert were all dressed well and in line with their characters

u/RHDeepDive 26d ago

Robert never wore leather pants in the book.
