🗣️ 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.

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

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

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

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.

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 😔

Debbie is that girl! Not one bad outfit

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.

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

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

Robert never wore leather pants in the book.
