What do you think of elias/jonah wearing earth tones suits? Dark browns, tans, dark greens (not the frankly ugly neon green suits the fandom dresses him in) etc. While i do imagine him in grey s and navy suits from time to time, i feel as though his wardrobe isn’t *that* dull, styling nonwithstanding.
i am sorry this is SO fucking late my god…
but i’m kind of of two minds of elias in earth and gem tones because the first three or so times i listened i was picturing him dressing like hannibal lecter…. and that’s like. what i want for him. for my babygirl. to wear bespoke tailoring made of fine fabrics… to match his pocket square to his ascot to his socks. to wear italian loafers.
but really looking at canon my interpretation is that elias is a moderately attractive man who dresses in a very neat, professional, but outdated way. so yes he does wear three piece suits but they’re old. you might assume that he got them second hand.
so i can see him in grey, navy, brown, maybe even patterned suits (but a subtle pattern… even houndstooth would be too flashy. never plaid) but i don’t think he would go as far as wearing green.
i think he purposefully dresses in very subdued colors, all the better to escape notice. his clothes are old but they aren’t shabby. they’re extremely well taken care of and well tailored. if you knew anything about tailoring you would actually recognize immediately that they were tailored for him, maybe even made. well, of course, not made. i mean. that suite is at least 30 years old. maybe 40. surely not made for him…. but clearly he bought the suite and had it fitted.
