We've finished season 1 of Fringe!
One thing I noticed in episode 14, "Ability," is the use of patterns... in some men's clothing.
Annoying Harassment Guy has tiny dots on his tie and a pinstriped suit and still manages to look boring.
Charlie Francis has a diagonally striped tie in an okay but blah color. Interesting choice of a beret in the season finale, though.
Meanwhile, Broyles pulls off some great color and pattern combination skills. Look how the patterned tie doesn't clash with the striped shirt and faintly pinstriped suit.
James Frain's character, in flashback, had a similarly dotted tie, but only appeared for a short time. red ties = redshirts
Finally, David Robert Jones wins with this outfit. Blue patterned tie, thin but bold yellow stripes on the blue shirt, and nicely textured gray jacket..
In the season finale, I noticed that harassment guy and Broyles both had the same ties with tiny white circles, just in different colors (red and purple, respectively).
Of all shows to notice sartorial details...
But hey, dressing in grays/neutrals is an important plot clue.
