Sharpe's Wedding Suit Exceeds Expectations with a Showcase of Loose Tailoring Techniques
In the vibrant world of Lena Dunham's Netflix series, Too Much, the character of Felix, played by Will Sharpe, stands out for his unique and eclectic style. Dressed by costume designer Arielle Cooper-Lethem, Felix dons a captivating collection of thrift-store gems, eclectic grails, and menswear staples[2].
One of the most iconic pieces in Felix's wardrobe is a long, loose leather jacket with a relaxed, elongated cut and fluid drape. This jacket, reminiscent of 1980s New Wave music, Neo from The Matrix, and a Left Bank Parisian rebellion vibe, is a key piece that encapsulates his British punk musician persona[1]. The jacket's style, while rooted in British punk and 1980s New Wave influences, is interpreted through a modern, artfully disheveled lens by Cooper-Lethem[1][3].
However, in episode 8 of Too Much, Felix is seen wearing a standout suit that serves as a guide for how suits should fit in 2025. Unlike the traditional British tailoring favored by figures like King Charles III and James Bond, this suit is a double-breasted suit with a slouchier, boxier, and more contemporary look[4]. The jacket's wide peak lapels and comfortable cut accentuate Sharpe's broad shoulders and strong build beautifully[6]. The trousers worn with this suit have a flowy, wide-leg silhouette that feels sharp and dressy, appropriate for a wedding[5].
Interestingly, the jacket and shirt of this suit are from Our Legacy's blockbuster Emporio Armani collaboration, but the trousers are not[7]. The rule of thumb for Felix's wardrobe in the series was that every piece had to be something that could have been left behind or lent by a friend or girlfriend[8].
At the wedding in episode 8, Felix is accompanied by Megan Stalter's character, Jess. The wedding, a relatively traditional English countryside wedding, provides a fitting backdrop for Felix's standout suit, making it a highlight of the series[9].
Sharpe's charisma and style extend beyond the screen, as demonstrated in his recent GQ Hype shoot[10]. Despite the focus on Felix's leather jacket and standout suit, his everyday clothes in Too Much also reflect his character's authentic, maximalist style.
