If you spend anywhere near as much time as I do watching TV, you’ll know how easy it is to get invested in the lives of your favourite fictional characters, and as someone who lives, breathes and works in fashion, what those characters end up wearing can often be as vital to my enjoyment of a series as the plot.
I will admit I have been known to give up on a show after few episodes because of questionable costume decisions (and I shall not name names), so whenever a new series is announced, I feel a mix of dread and anticipation for what lies ahead. Film and television have always had the captivating ability to inform what we wear in the real world in some way, shape, or form, and after a couple of years in lockdowns that confined us to our homes, the small screen’s influence on fashion is now bigger than ever. What starts as a TV show may become part of the zeitgeist, filtering down as references in designer collections and high-street interpretations, and turning into hashtags, movements, and part of our greater consciousness. Imagine a world without the stylish sensibilities of Schitt’s Creek‘s Rose family, Joe Exotic’s lurid shirts, or Love Island bikinis? Well, that might be stretching it. But it’s fair to say that some of 2022’s biggest TV shows had at least one thing in common: some seriously stylish looks.
By series two, Euphoria managed to capture an entire generation with its darker sartorial take on teenage relationships and self-identity (inspiring a lot of makeup tutorials in the process). Succession gave us the slick, elitist elegance that made us rethink our workwear wardrobes, and the Killing Eve finale marked the end of some of the most influential television styling in recent years. So where do we look for outfit inspiration in 2023?
I’ve rounded up some of last year’s biggest shows with new seasons in 2023, and some of the most anticipated new shows debuting on the box this year in a bid to look at how their influence extends from the screens to our wardrobes. So, keep scrolling for 8 TV shows about to change fashion in 2023. You might be surprised.
