Sharpe's Wedding Suit with a Laid-Back Touch Demonstrates Expertise in Loose Tailoring
In the world of Lena Dunham's latest Netflix series, Too Much, the character Felix, played by Will Sharpe, dons a suit that deviates from traditional British tailoring, offering a guide for how suits might fit in 2025.
Felix, a rakishly charming indie musician, is often seen in a leather jacket with an alternative, grungy style inspired by 1980s New Wave music, Neo from The Matrix, and Parisian rebellion aesthetics. The jacket, with its relaxed tailoring, elongated cut, and fluid drape, presents a casual, nonchalant vibe, a stark contrast to the structured, formal appearance associated with traditional British suits.
The costume design, curated by Arielle Cooper-Lethem, draws from grunge and androgynous Londoner influences, with a nod to Kurt Cobain's style, accentuating Felix’s indie, unpolished vibe rather than polished, conventional menswear.
One standout outfit is the suit Felix wears to his friends' wedding in episode 8. Contrary to popular belief, this suit is not from Our Legacy's blockbuster Emporio Armani collaboration. Instead, the trousers were crafted bespoke in Cooper-Lethem's studio. The suit trousers are not typical of the skintight Conor McGregor tailoring, but rather have a more relaxed, flowy wide-leg silhouette.
The suit's silhouette is slouchier and boxier, deviating from traditional British tailoring. The trousers manage to feel sharp and dressy, appropriate for a wedding, while maintaining an unconventional silhouette. They are a versatile piece in Felix's wardrobe, designed to be something that could have been left behind or lent by a friend or girlfriend.
The trousers' creation was intentional, according to Cooper-Lethem, to give Felix an unconventional silhouette. This style stands in contrast to the traditional British tailoring that is often more rigid and formal. Felix’s look is modern, rebellious, and deliberately casual.
The jacket's wide peak lapels and comfortable cut accentuate Sharpe's broad shoulders and strong build gracefully, without drowning out his physique. Felix wears an eclectic collection of clothes throughout the series, including thrift-store gems, rock-solid menswear staples, and patterned button-downs.
This suit, worn in a nonchalant manner, serves as a guide for how suits should fit in 2025. It is a departure from the suits worn by figures like King Charles III and James Bond, offering a more relaxed, casual approach to traditional menswear.
The series consists of 10 episodes, each offering a glimpse into Felix's unique style and the future of tailoring.
