Fashion Inspiration: Westworld
After more than a year, the wait is over – Season 2 of HBO’s critically acclaimed series Westworld is airing in just 8 days. In order to prepare for ten more episodes of grunge piano covers, existential soul-searching, and edge-of-your-seat plot twists, this article will revisit the major players of Season 1. (So, warning, there will be mild spoilers.)
For those of you not in the know, Westworld is about a futuristic theme park of the same name. In this park, visitors are transported into a faithful recreation of the Wild West – from the frontier town of Sweetwater, out to sprawling prairies and staggering canyons. Visitors are free to act however they like – because instead of human actors, the park is populated by super-realistic robotic “hosts,” who behave realistically in repetitive loops, except that they cannot harm a living creature. Things start to change when a new software update is launched, causing the hosts to act out in dangerous and unpredictable ways.
Have you ever questioned the nature of your reality? If so, Westworld is the show for you.
Today we’re taking some fashion inspiration from Westworld in honor of the Season 2 premiere. Here are some Westworld outfits, with modern, fashion-approved takes on the cast’s classic Western wear:

The main character of Westworld is Dolores Abernathy, a host who lives as a rancher’s daughter. Dolores loves painting and the cowboy Teddy, but leaves her loop when her parents are murdered by a gang of bank robbers. She then begins to explore more of the park, as well as her own abilities.
