POTD: See Every Single Outfit Walt Wore In Five Seasons Of ‘Breaking Bad’
If clothes make the man, as the saying goes, then what kind of clothes does it take to create a brilliant monster like Walter White? Brooklyn artistNathan Petershas the answer inThe Wardrobe of Walter White, a comprehensive collection of illustrations depicting every single outfit Walt ever wore in five season ofBreaking Bad. Check it out after the jump.
While Peters gets credit for his impeccable artwork, theBreaking Badcrew deserves a mention for devising these outfits to begin with.Kathleen Detoroserved as the show’s costume designer for the first four seasons, beforeJennifer L. Bryantook over in the final season.
As you’re able to see, Walt’s has a clearly defined (if terribly bland) personal style, and it doesn’t change much between Seasons 1 and 5. But he does gradually pick up bolder, deeper shades, in contrast to the oatmeal-colored outfits he favors in early Season 1. “Walt got darker colors because his character gets, as we’ve noticed, darker,” said Bryan in aninterviewlast year.
That change in tone has not gone unnoticed by fans, many of whom have devised “color theories” breaking down the significance of various hues on the show. Even casual viewers couldn’t help but worry, for example, when Marie started ditching her signature purple in favor of somber black.
For another look at the various costumes ofBreaking Bad, including those worn by some of the flashier characters (looking at you, Saul Goodman), AMC has a funslideshowwith Detoro’s comments on the characters' wardrobes. You might be surprised to learn how the Heisenberg hat really came to be.
