Welp, the time is upon us. Our watch (of Game of Thrones) has ended, and so begins that torturous summertime period of waiting for Winter to resume. But while you mournfully stare down the barrel of nine months without power plays in Westeros, dragons, White Walkers, and depressingly grim plot twists, fret not. All men must die, but all hope is not lost. We've got you covered on your first Sunday sans GoT with A Definitive Ranking of the Freshest Game of Thrones Characters. While we all wait for Daenerys to fuck up King's Landing, see whose steez sits upon the Iron Throne. Valar Morghulis.

15. Theon Greyjoy

It was all good just a few seasons ago. From surrogate flourishing in Winterfell riches to reeking in Dreadfort rags, smh. In just a short time, series-wise, Theon went from Elijah Wood look-a-like to straight Gollum. And missing man-parts at that, which is minus-1000 on the swag barometer. Long live season one Theon.

Ramsay Snow

14. Ramsay Snow Bolton

Behold, the last rockstar of Westeros. When he's not going into battle shirtless, the pasty-faced bastard (seriously, it's like The Crow meets GoT) is bundled up for optimum Northern weather conditions. Fur game's not quite at Stark level, but as we saw this season, the Boltons are on their way up. Unfortunately.

13. Lord of Bones

Wow, does anybody else even remember this lowkey Wildling swag lord? Dude had a boner to kill Jon Snow back when he was moonlighting as the worst double agent of all time, let's call it season 2 even though given this setting-appropriate glacier paced storyline, who really knows. But yea, it's good this dude has lord in his official title because this look is just too strong.

12. Hodor

"Hodor? Hodor. Ho—hey guyz, it's Bran Stark, totally just warged into Hodor so I can tell you about his awesome cozy boy steez! The giant-sized mumu keeps the big guy really warm on our long up north trips. One time for my walking wheelchair/bodyguard/mind puppet! Brandon, out!"

11. Loras Tyrell

The Knight of Flowers is the most stereotypical fantasy fairy tale-swagged guy in Westeros. Loras is out here on that real Disney-esque, Prince Charming look that makes the girls of King's Landing swoon, which of course on a show that revels in trope subversion like GoT, means he actually prefers "crossing swords."

10. Bronn

We hate how it had to go down, but you really couldn't be mad at the homie for coming up. Dude went from low-level killer to monogamus sellsword to arranged marriage to an unflattering but rich heiress (after a few easy murders to juke the inheritance), which is like, a mercenary's idea of a fairy tale ending. The newly achieved social status is highlighted by what must be the finest threads any non-lord on this show has ever worn. Look at that Medici cape, b! Even Tyrion couldn't hate despite dude literally leaving him in the lurch. Enjoy retirement, Bronn.

9. Ned Stark

The one true Lord of the North (the Starks swag out in fur over everyone else like it's their birthright) posing for his mixtape Not Built 4 This Lyfe, dropping posthumously on Robb Stark's Yung Wolf records right after he aveng—release delayed indefinitely.

8. Tywin Lannister

Peep Westeros' master strategist in that brand new En Noir drop before it even hits the streets. Dude basically gets dressed up just to sit in his chamber and write letters/run the seven kingdoms from the privacy of his own quarters, because that Lannister family name comes with a prerequisite to stay dripped up and draped out. And that Hand pin? Ridiculously fly style accessory even though everyone knows he's really wearing the crown.

7. Jorah Mormont

If you're going to set up shop indefinitely in the friend zone, you better stay on point everyday to give shorty a constant visual reminder of why she should reconsider. Since he committed to spending all his days in the east, the boy Jorah stands by his khaleesi sporting that ill swashbuckler steez. Throw in the risky but successful ascot game and Dany's right hand is quietly one of the best-dressed dudes on the show. And yet, still not enough to make that leap.

6. Joffrey Baratheon

First of his name and first of the fuckboys, but dude was never a bummy psycho-sadist, if we're being objective. That crown money went towards a never-ending collection of cloaks patterned in the Lannister family colors that the boy king is rarely seen without. Plus, a literal crown is the ultimate alphet accessory, no debates.

5. Khal Drogo

Would anyone in Westeros be able to see the greatest khal that ever was on the battlefield? We'll never know, but very few were fucking with him on this style shit. Drogo's out here leading a tribe, starting a family and killing people with his bare hands all while sporting a ponytail, leather pants and some wild fresh tats, paint, whatever on his chest. And still striking fear into fuckboys' hearts.

4. Jon Snow

The No-Fun Police Night Watchers employ an all-black-everything uniform that, given their bleak attitudes and setting, could be bland and basic. But they're actually pretty fly, especially when shit gets real and they venture Beyond the Wall in those super-fresh, super-practical heavy fur cloaks. One time for form and function, even Lorde felt the influence.

3. Jaime Lannister

First of all, you can't not crack top five with a moniker like "Kingslayer." But genuinely, back in his villainous days dude had the lock on entitled trust fund asshole steez. The armor was too clean, and that tan leather cloak? Ridiculous. These days he doesn't stunt as hard for obvious reasons, but the status is kept afloat with that shamelessly blinged out new hand accessory.

2. Oberyn Martell

We can't wait for the show to take it's location talents to Dorne if this is how their Prince swags out when he's on avenge-cation. This dude is all I-can-take-your-girl and Fuck-your-family swinger swagger from the moment he graced the screen. The coat/cloak is essentially the accessory to his personality: flashy, assured, fearless. Swag on, Viper.

1. Tyrion Lannister

In the midst of hate and and ill-meaning motherfuckers plotting on him from all sides, the Imp gawd has always used his family money as consolation. As such, dude is never not draped in the finest bespoke gear Lannister gold can buy, a fuck-you flourish to his hating ass family.
