One thing that is particularly noticeable in the play is the suits of male characters. I don’t know whether it is only in film and television works or in reality. Gangsters need to wear suits. Simple white shirts and black suits are for younger brothers and thugs. Gangster. In order to meet the background of the times, all men wear three-piece suits, and some people do not have a pure white shirt with a black suit.
Nucky, the protagonist of the first season, seems to have only worn two coats, but the suit has changed a lot. The colors and patterns are changeable and low-key, which is very suitable for the character's identity and personality.
In addition to changing the protagonist’s clothes, Jimmy and Al Capone also specially made a suit. This plot is completely idle, but the director tirelessly asked them to put on a show, as if there is a good suit to mix well. Indeed, Nucky also gave Jimmy money to buy him new clothes. The suit was not worn for nothing. When Nucky and Jimmy met, he even mentioned a new suit, although it was ironic.
At that time, the shirt collar had to be fastened separately, and the neckline had to be fastened tightly. People with big heads and flat facial features did not look good. For example, Jimmy and Capone, tall, small head, and three-dimensional facial features are better, such as Nucky.
Suits require muscles to hold up. No muscles wearing white shirts and black suits are real estate agents and young job seekers. The characters in the play do not wear white and black, but also have muscles, so they all look good. Coupled with shades of brown and brown, the clothes of these gangsters are very good. The most exquisite is Rostein, all kinds of blue, all kinds of bow ties, suspect that this big man spends two hours a day matching clothes.
Suits should be equipped with leather shoes. In addition to the shoe shine scenes in the show several times, there are related scenes where Nucky asks the housekeeper to pick up shoes before he goes out. The detective asks passers-by to help pick up new shoes... Gangsters, this is clearly a group of exquisite people vying for power. Nucky's exquisite brogues in the opening film, I believe that 99% of Chinese men will not have such a pair of shoes in this life. Even if they do, they are difficult to control.
Women's clothes are also very nice. Marguerite was rustic at first, with a pilling sweater and a hat, but later it became a lot more gorgeous. The various feminine colors and pearl necklaces are all very beautiful. I also like the set I wore during the lecture. . In addition to the protagonist, the clothes of the supporting actors are also very beautiful, the mistresses and prostitutes are gorgeously dressed, and the passers-by are low-key and harmonious. After reading it, I can't help but sigh, what the hell are the popular sweaters and sneakers these years.
