If you haven't already seen the stellar Baby Reindeer on Netflix, we HIGHLY recommend it. Created by and starring Richard Gadd, the show tells the real life experience of Gadd, as he grappled with a woman becoming dangerously obsessed with him. Themes of sexual abuse, stalking, sexuality and mental illness are all explored in a incredibly raw, witty and at times funny ,performance by Gadd and phenomenal cast.
There has been A LOT of speculation online regarding identifying the real life counter parts of characters. So much so that Gadd has had to ask the public to stop trying to uncover the real identities the characters are based on. According to Gadd, armchair sleuths have made several serious accusations, calling out innocent people as sexual abusers.
On that note, and in solidarity with Gadd, we wanted to give homage to some of the fantastic costume design from the show!

Donny:
The look we remember most from Donny is, of course, the plaid suit he performs stand up in. This is a bold choice, and definitely memorable.
Richard Gadd as Donny.
Unfortunately I couldn't find anything remotely similar for sale in NZ, but I thought this ASOS find was snazzy, the 'Harry Brown'.
I couldn't find lime green shirts for men in New Zealand either, but the Bullet Green Shirt by 3 Wise Men isn't a bad choice instead -
And of course, we need Donny's yellow coat, gifted to him by his ex-girlfriends mother
This Mountain Warehouse one gives a similar look and is comfy, warm and rainproof.
Were there any classic outfits we missed? Let us know!
