Modern Sherlock


Classic suit with a modern twist: narrow-leg trousers and a two-button, slim-cut jacket

Sherlock Holmes has long had a connection with fashion as one of literature’s first detectives, his name is synonymous of deerstalker hats, pipes, magnifying glasses, and trenchcoats. In this BBC version, Sherlock has traded in his deerstalker cap for more elegant attire like scarves and peacoats. His dark-coloured clothing perfectly complements its gray London backdrop and adds to the mysterious, eerie tone of the show. To get this look, wear a long coat over a dark sweater and plaid pants (a nod to the deerstalker cap). Add a gray scarf, heeled oxfords, and a magnifying glass necklace for playful quirkiness.
