S_uccession_ might not be the most overtly fashion-conscious show at the moment, but the sartorial trappings of its characters have got people talking. Thinkpieces on the clothes of the show are rife – what the 0.1 per cent wear and why they wear it is a subject that inspires inexhaustive curiosity. And though the obscenely wealthy fictional Roy family can afford to wear whatever they like, their choices of clothing are not, at first glance, particularly stylish.

From Logan’s cashmere shawl cardigans to Roman’s unbuttoned shirts, the colour palette is one that rarely strays from the safe confines of navy, grey and beige. Still, every item of clothing is undeniably a choice that reveals much about the character wearing it. As the show’s costume designer Ms Michelle Matland told The Guardian earlier this month, each member of the clan “is drawing attention to themselves in a different way through their clothing, which is the way we are as humans. We present ourselves the way we want to be seen.”

So how does a wildly rich family want to be seen? From Armani suits to Moncler gilets and Lanvin sneakers, there are a few references to particular brands here and there. Generally, though, the Roys don’t go in for logos and brand names – perhaps because they don’t feel the need to. The New Yorker referred to their clothes as “expensive, but inconspicuous”, and their collective style is a sort of mundane rebuttal against high fashion, which means that, strangely, it’s also rather easy to emulate. Ever wanted to dress like a trillionaire? Here’s what you’ll need.

Less Marty McFly and more Silicon Valley tech mogul, the gilet has become integral to the wardrobe of the wealthy over the past few years. Patagonia’s effort in particular reached meme status in 2018 through the Instagram account @midtownuniform when it became apparent that all the finance bros in Midtown were wearing them. Don’t let that ruin gilets for you, though; they’re one of the most practical items a man can own, and a quilted one from Loro Piana will look just as great worn over a suit as it will with chinos at the weekend.

Though their place in the corporate world has come into question of late, a tie still seems to convey a measure of authority in Succession’s world. During the first season, Roman avoids them to highlight his rejection of stifling office life, but even he accedes to donning a tie when he’s gunning for more power; the family’s patriarch Logan wears one incongruously under his shawl cardigan, like some kind of boardroom Father Christmas. In all cases, the ties are big, so go for one that’s at least 8cm across to channel some gravitas at work. As Logan noted in the very first episode, sometimes business is a big tie competition. Or something like that.

The men of Succession don’t wear baseball caps; they wear plain woollen baseball caps with curved peaks that are otherwise devoid of embelishments such as logos. Whether you need one to protect yourself from the paparazzi hounding you for a comment on your family fortune or simply to accessorise come autumn, a woolly cap is one of the cosiest (and let’s face it, affordable) markers of wealth a man can own.
