I just finished the first season of Sugar, so I am behind. Colin Farrell wears one outfit: dark suit, white shirt, dark tie, suspenders that make an occasional appearance. I literally paused it and noted to self: “get a good suit.”

Roberto Revilla, a London tailor, wrote a deep dive on what exactly the suit is: a uniform and not a costume. It was cut for a man who runs and fights in it, not one who stands still for photos.

The costume designer is Christie Wittenborn. She told MovieMaker some more details about their choices, but this Reddit thread where somebody who knows Wittenborn relayed questions to her has one key piece of info I didn’t notice. The suits go black, then midnight blue, then lighter blue as the show approaches the reveal of what Sugar actually is. The suspenders go black to navy. Mohair shows up late for the sheen.

I made an appointment with a tailor.
