The 20 Best Costume Designs from Outlander Season 1 and 2

6. Jamie’s Paris Look

If you thought Jamie would jump at the chance to envelop himself in men’s Parisian fashion, you do not know our hero very well. Claire and Jamie are both utilitarian and pragmatic people who do not worry how they look. They both understand they must blend in with the people of the French court, but will not compromise who they are. In an interview with InStyle Dresbach talks about why she dressed Jamie differently from the other Parisian men.

"“That character is not going to want to wear that. It’s too distracting and doesn’t fit who he is. He’s like Claire in that respect. I imagine him saying ‘I don’t want lavender, but do you have anything in black?’ So that’s where we went with Jamie. We put him in an elegant black suit with a white shirt. We kept him very simple and monochromatic.”"

Jamie only wore one or two different outfits in season one of Outlander. It was nice to see him in clean clothing. It unquestionably would not be in keeping with the Jamie to be dressed in such frippery. People support Jamie because he is smart and a natural leader, not because of the clothing he wears.
