Fashion Inspiration: Westworld
Key to the success of the park are the staff – especially Bernard and Elsie, who write and maintain the code that runs the hosts. These no-nonsense workers have an incredibly challenging job – figuring out how to make the hosts look and act just like you and I, while ensuring that they behave exactly as they’re supposed to for the safety of the guests. When hosts start to act out of their loops, Bernard and Elsie have to work under uncertain circumstances, even going out into the park to find out what’s going on.
Channel Elsie’s utilitarian look with a chambray shirt and black straight-leg jeans. Add a collarless blazer for a bit of formality, and a pair of high-top sneakers for a creative twist. A compass necklace is a reminder not to get too lost in the wilderness of the park, and hair gel keeps your hairdo looking put-together, even when you’re unraveling a treacherous mystery. Using a neutral palate and hard-wearing basics lets you create an outfit formal enough for a class presentation, but still comfortable enough for a long study session.

While Westworld lets visitors experience the world in whatever way they wish, and find out their true selves; the true importance of the park comes in the form of the hosts, who begin to question their identity and form their own consciousness. Are they real? If you can’t tell, does it matter?
This outfit mixes a structured high-neck dress with a distressed denim jacket, to mirror the conflicting nature of the hosts. Add strappy sandals and a sleek ear cuff for a futuristic vibe, and do a messy smoky eye for a rebellious edge. The key to the hosts’ consciousness is the ability to look within themselves – so when you’re wearing this, trust yourself, and don’t be afraid to break the rules.
