House Baratheon is the current ruling house of Westeros, so you’d think their lives would be relatively drama-free, right? Wrong. So wrong. I won’t spoil anything for you new viewers, but the Baratheons’ grip on the Iron Throne isn’t exactly as strong as they thought, which is why three factions are soon brawling over which Baratheon is the true king.
House Baratheon is a rather earthy, traditional house – their stag sigil and signature golden-yellow colors evoke a strong, yet graceful presence that seems destined for leadership. Baratheons are skilled hunters and warriors, and they can also exude charisma and great social prowess.

For a modern update on the Baratheons’ traditional hunting garb, pair a graphic sweater (featuring a stag, of course) with a pair of bright yellow tailored shorts. Okay, so the pop of color wouldn’t help you on an actual hunting trip, but you get the idea. Next, add an embroidered brown belt for an earthy feel, and slip on some sturdy tan brogues. Complete the look with delicate but fearsome jewelry, like an arrow-shaped bangle and matching earrings.

Stannis Baratheon is the relatively level-headed, collected Baratheon brother – that is, until he cozies up to a fire priestess. Under Melisandre’s influence, Stannis becomes an even more fearsome warrior. For a priestess of the light, she uses some questionably dark magic to help Stannis ascend to the throne.
