Ripper Street Style

Ripper Street is back on our screens for a fourth series, giving us another slice hearty slice of Victorian crime drama.

Aside from the fine acting and stories the highlight of the series for me has been the suits and style. In the Victorian era we start to see the suit emerge as we recognise it today. With this in mind I thought we should take a little wonder down Whitechapel and see if we can capture some of that Ripper Street style.

The character of Edmund Reid (played by Matthew Macfadyen) has favoured some bold check suits throughout the series, a look that can still be pulled off today for the sartorially minded.
The character often finishes off his outfit with a bowler hat, which was the height of fashion at the time,

Drake (the always entertaining Jerome Flynn) on the other hand favours more sombre clothes as befits his character, often opting for a more sedate and hardwearing three piece suit.
Once again a Victorian gentleman is never seen without a hat, with Drake going for a more modern trilby look.

When it comes to the Captain Jackson (Adam Rothenburg), he favours the most garish clothes of the three characters, often with strong patterns and brighter colours.
​The large checked, bright blue suit will certainly set you out from the crowd of London.
He also wears a Pork Pie hat which were popular in America in that period.

Finish off your look with a descent pair of brogue boots and you’ll be ready to dive into the dark belly of London with the best of them.
