Will Sharpe’s ‘Too Much’ Wedding Suit Is a Master Class in Relaxed Tailoring
Few TV characters in recent memory have gotten more serious fits off than Felix, the rakishly charming indie musician romantic lead played by Will Sharpe in Lena Dunham’s new Netflix series Too Much. Throughout the show’s 10 episodes, the thirtysomething bohemian swaggers about London in an incredible collection of thrift-store gems, eclectic grails, and the sort of rock-solid menswear staples it appears he’s owned for years and worn ‘til the threads are popping out. (It doesn’t hurt that Sharpe simply looks great in clothes—just look at his recent GQ Hype shoot for proof.) Amidst all the patterned button-downs and beat-up ballcaps, however, there’s one Felix fit that stands out as the highlight of the series: the suit he wears to his friends’ wedding in episode 8. That suit, in all its nonchalant glory, is practically a how-to guide when it comes to figuring out how your suit should fit in 2025.
Despite the relatively traditional English countryside wedding he’s attending with Megan Stalter’s Jess, the silhouette of Felix’s double-breasted suit is a far cry from the typical British tailoring long favored by guys like King Charles III and James Bond. In place of the strong shoulders and nipped waists you find on Savile Row, Too Much costume designer Arielle Cooper-Lethem opted for a slouchier, boxier, more contemporary look. The jacket and shirt, in fact, both hail from one of the most-hyped menswear linkups of the past couple years: Our Legacy’s blockbuster Emporio Armani collaboration.

Sharpe is a pretty fit guy, and at first glance you might imagine that a looser suit might not flatter his frame as much as something cut slim and close to the body. In reality, though, the jacket’s wide peak lapels and comfortable cut accentuate his broad shoulders and strong build beautifully—gracefully hinting at his physique without drowning it out. Anyone looking to put together a formal fit that shows off the fruits of their Hard 75 labor should take note: skip the skintight Conor McGregor tailoring and go this route instead.
The roomy trousers, meanwhile, aren’t actually the matching pair from Our Legacy x Emporio Armani. Cooper-Lethem crafted them bespoke in her studio. “We wanted to give him a silhouette that didn’t feel familiar,” she tells GQ. “He’s a one-off kind of fellow.” Despite their more relaxed proportions, the flowy wide-leg bottoms still manage to feel sharp and dressy and totally appropriate for a wedding. There’s a lived-in quality to them that’s visible onscreen, and according to Cooper-Lethem, that was very much intentional. “The trousers are a pair that Felix wears every time he’s not wearing sweatpants,” she explains. “He had a very small wardrobe and the rule of thumb was that every piece had to be something that could have been left behind or lent by a friend or girlfriend.”
