Fashion Inspiration: Netflix’s A Series of Unfortunate Events

Okay, you’ve had a whole two weeks, you have to be finished with A Series of Unfortunate Events now. Honestly, most people I know finished it the very first day, and who can blame them?

This show, an adaptation of the popular children’s book series that everybody devoured almost as quickly as Harry Potter as a kid, has been one of the most anticipated new series since its announcement, and did not let us down in the slightest. All anyone really wants in a screen adaptation is to see exactly what they were picturing in their head when they read the original book, and this show definitely delivered.

Because the plot is so simple— three children lose their parents in a terrible fire and are sent to live with one dreadful guardian after another while attempting to elude the clutches of Count Olaf, a murderous actor who is after their fortune— it is so important to get everything else right, like the dry humor and the Tim Burton-esque surrealism. The fact that Netflix managed to do this so flawlessly just proves they should honestly be in charge of all book-to-movie adaptations for the rest of eternity. 

One of the interesting things about the series is that, even when reading the books, I was never entirely sure what era it was supposed to be taking place in. Netflix’s series continues this intentional confusion by dressing its three heroes in modern attire while making most of their surroundings a little more old-fashioned. Lucky for us, this makes finding clothes inspired by the Baudelaire’s easy!

“To those who hadn’t been around Violet long, nothing would have seemed unusual, but those who knew her well knew that when she tied her hair up in a ribbon to keep it out of her eyes, it meant that the gears and levers of her inventing brain were whirring at top speed.”
