You are crazy amazing! I really enjoyed reading this and feel rather educated about suits and patterns and ALL THE SHINY THINGS! I agree with you especially on Ariadne's and Arthur's clothing. Ariadne does not look like a boy. For god's sake she's supposed to be 21 or 23 or something AND she's a student. Her look is casual and so blissfully normal. She definitely stands out among all the men in the movie and she contrasts nicely with Mal. (That was the first thing I noticed about her character actually - the way she stood out and carried herself among them.) Arthur's wardrobe or rather the way fangirls got carried away with it is the source of so many fanfics and mostly I think it's fun, because it's suit!porn. lol But after watching the movie and then reading fic I thought I'd missed something, because I didn't remember Arthur being ALWAYS in a three piece suit and dressing that sharp like he does in most fics. But I love his outfits in the movie because they're so subtly casual and the patterns and the details are to die for.
