i think it’s a testament to how disturb Stede was by his guilt & Badminton’s death that he’s wearing a orange top and purple trousers that really really don’t match
i did a little bit of digging and it appears that this man literally owns a purple waistcoat that matches with these EXACT breeches (which we see when he’s telling ghost stories in episode 6). there is zero excuse for him not wearing it. get it together, man!
That outfit slaps and you know it. Plus the back fabric of the waistcoat matches the breeches. Absolutely an alternate waistcoat to wear with the breeches because our boy packed options
oh shit! I didn’t even notice that lmfao. okay @treesofgreen I might’ve just said we were losing the fight but we’re winning again.
@silk-and-oranges I’m so sorry dsfghjkk
I was swayed for a moment into thinking maybe he had just grabbed whatever but the closeup of the back of the waistcoat proves this is a purposeful look and cutting edge FASHION.
look. my man is a one color at a time person (white doesn’t count) black & black, purple & purple, blue & blue, etc
i might be persuaded that orange & purple looks good (it kinda does i’ll admit) but y'all have to concede it’s abnormal and Stede wasn’t in his right mind at that time
I would note respectfully that in several of the photos above, Stede is wearing waistcoats that contrast with coats and breeches that match. The issue is just that he took off the lavender coat that most likely exists before the episode began and never put it back on again on camera.
Those are NOT the same breeches as the ones from episode 6!
The episode 2 ones are some kind of plush velvety stuff.
(From heathervanderstitch on instagram.)
And the ones he wore with the matching waistcoat are clearly satin, and they fit him much better.
The episode 2 ones fit quite badly, and appear to have been made in such a rush that they didn’t even get buttons at the knee.
And the waistcoat fabric isn’t orange, it’s peachy pink with metallic gold.
Not a bad choice for lilac breeches with gold buttons, in my opinion. Especially since, as @chocolatepot very correctly points out, they’d have definitely been worn with a matching lilac coloured coat.
Suits with a matching coat & breeches and a contrasting waistcoat were very much a thing in the 18th century (sometimes with coat cuffs that matched the waistcoat, as I talk about in part 1 of my costume review post) and he wears a few others like that.
The brownish linen suit from episode 8 has a pale mint green waistcoat.
(From Laura Wong’s instagram highlights.)
Beige and pink:
He wears his very weirdly cut episode 1 suit again in 8/9 with a brown waistcoat this time.
We only get the briefest glimpse of this one in episode 1, but again, two contrasting colours.
(Though it’s the breeches that match the waistcoat this time, which is much more of a late 18th century thing. But the decades in this show are all over the place anyways, so whatever.)
Red coat, beige waistcoat, orange breeches:
(Also weird, and much more of a last 2 decades of the century thing, to have 3 different colours.)
The thing I’m more concerned about is that most of Stede’s waistcoats are way later than the coats he wears them with. Waistcoats get gradually shorter over the course of the 18th century, and he keeps wearing these short little late century waistcoats under these big mid century coats, which objectively does not look as good as it would if he had more cohesive suits with the correct proportions. (Yes I’m very biased, but I’m also right. Look at that collared waistcoat under a coat with no collar and totally different neckline. awful.)
this is an EXTREMELY informative post and i’m glad to be proven wrong so i can learn more about stede’s wardrobe. i’ll have to keep more of an eagle eye when i rewatch to spot all of his waistcoats.
anyway, my most significant take away is this: this man has a purple jacket somewhere and we DIDN’T get to see it, and that’s homophobic. for me. because i want to see it

The most unrealistic thing about OFMD is that someone as hot as Ed would fall for Stede. (Stede’s a 4, Ed’s a20)

incorrect. stede is bright and colorful like a peacock, with a kindness that is simply irresistible. stede knows what colors look good on him and works it effortlessly, and he’s got that fluffy prince charming hair and autistic boy swag to boot. he and ed are two 10s in opposite directions making it everyone else’s problem
i appear to have a crush on two middle-aged men with oppositely-shaped noses
this confuses me
pretending I'm not feeling unhinged bc of last 2 eps by drawing a he he funny 🔥😎💀

He’s a killer but instead of killing with weapons, he kills with…kindness. Oh right, so you’re the gentleman pirate then. Well sussed!

In the first panel we see a computer screen open to a text document which reads, "'Thanks to you I am saddled with unneeded feelings,' said the Evil Magistrate before kissing the Steel Samurai with". The text cuts off. In the second panel, we see Maya typing the above into a computer with a concentrated smile. Phoenix is leaning down behind her, wearing an extremely confused expression.
