Shutter Island Style

There were probably no more than three costume changes for Leonardo DiCaprio and Mark Ruffalo in Shutter Island. At first I was concentrating on the horror and excitement of the first half, then as the scene began to settle into a twisty huh-what-when roller coaster I started noticing the clothing instead.

I refer to the wooly (it has to be?) blue suit worn in the movie as pictured below with Mark Ruffalo. The style immediately reminded me of D&G 2006 Sailor trousers. Thick and larger in fit this style has made the odd appearance but is unrealistic in terms of it's wearability. Perhaps other Winters are less forgiving, but locally that would still be far too warm.



The ties were a real treat too! Including the big knot and almost rounded ends likened to a scarf. Not to mention the trousers which came up past the belly button. I quite enjoyed the large frames of the overcoats that were clearly too big but worked in it's time.

Did you enjoy Shutter Island?
