The Suits Double-Breasted Blazer, $463

Saint Laurent Shirt, $490

Guide London Suit Pants, $123

Don Draper's the god, but his boss and BFF Roger Sterling is hands down the freshest white man with inner turmoil in the SC&P offices. He may be the most immature dude on the other side of 50 ever, but his suit steez bodies all competition in the game. Get on his swag level by overdressing for the office with a double breast, and mix it up with atypical colors and patterns. Then dye your hair white and have a lot of money.

J.Crew Broken-In Henley, $40

Zak Cargo Pants, $83

All the best serial killers abide by a routine, and while Dexter questioned his code, like, all eight seasons, he never strayed from his Murder Alphet, which is basically just an olive green uniform he hopes no one will notice at night. Easily replicable—but the knockout syringe is sold separately.

ASOS Pork Pie Hat, $38

Reclaimed Vintage Harrington Jacket, $95

Incotex Slim-Fit Oxford Shirt, $220

NN.07 Cotton Twill Chinos, $160

Visvim Beuys Trekker, $746

Dress for the Empire Business like everyone's favorite self-made trillionaire (pun intended, because W.W. was the realest). Walter's mid-life crisis didn't extend to his style—he kept it very suburban casual, but capped it off with a very dope, definitive, and now iconic accessory in the Heisenberg pork pie hat. And of course we all remember that during Breaking Bad finale mania someone noticed the show's ever-intentionally alternating color schemes meant different things thematically. Green, of course, signified envy but also money. Let the streets know you're about yours with a BB-inspired color code.

Jack & Jones Tank, $19

Dickies Original Work Pant, $75

Swag is pretty much the last thing any sensible human being worries about when stranded on a not-so-deserted island for months on end, but if any of the Flight 815'ers could be called out for sticking to a fresh code it'd be Sayid. While everyone else picked through beach-strewn suitcases for whatever fit, the tortured torturer was never not seen sporting a black tank top and matching khakis/cargo pants. Which is about the worst alphet you could think of for a beach somewhere off the coast of Fiji, but, he also lived (nearly) the longest, so, attempt if you dare.

Belstaff Circuitmaster Jacket, $1,739

Belstaff Bromfield Messenger Bag, $486

The funniest thing about America's Greatest Hero is that, legendary double-tapping, neck-snapping badass though he may be, he still needs his trusty messenger man-bag to get through his bad days. Of course, yours will be filled with superfluous files, magazines, and half-used chapstick; his comes with tasers, grenades, and more guns than Dan Bilzerian. Which is exactly why no one ever calls him out for running around like a late college student.

Balmain Sleeveless Biker Jacket, $2,452

John Elliott & Co Classic Crew, $64

Air Force 1 Low, $89

Draw the ire of serious bikers everywhere like Charlie Hunnam (as Jax Teller) fearlessly does and ride your hog with a pair of clean AF-1s, because who really gives a fuck about what the normal steez should be. The cut you'll have to make yourself, like the legion of SoA fans like to do for Halloween, but if you're not trying to claim sets charters, a dope sleeveless leather vest will get you close enough.

Stetson 10 Gallon Straw Hat, $89

Nudie Denim Jacket, $257

The backwoods Kentucky born, bred, and based US Marshal wouldn't know it, but he actually comes correct in his go-to denim jacket. The part of his look that is intentional though is the classic ten-gallon Stetson, of course. It takes a bold man to pull that off, even in the country. Attempt at your own risk (and be prepared for whatever trouble the lawman look attracts your way).

Burberry Brit Showerproof Trench Coat, $895

Annie Mr. Durag Wave Cap, $1.50

Safeguard Bulletproof Vest, $190

Stay strapped and ready to bust up in a stash house at a moment's notice while maintaining a sense of style like the mythical Baltimore drug dealer's walking nightmare. A man's gotta have a [fresh] code. But if you dress like the king, you best not miss.

Chambray Button Down Shirt, $168

Nudie Khaki Slim, $225

Air Jordan VII Cardinal, $350+

Jerry the TV character is a master at putting in the minimal amount of effort into being as adult as he had to be, a lifestyle reflected in his episodic steez of dope oxfords paired with some fresh Nike running shoes or Js. Let your favorite comedian inspire you to go to work and push the boundaries of what's casual.

OBEY Prince Pocket Tee, $40

OBEY Temple Shorts, $69

Crooks and Castles 5 Panel, $23

This is just one of very many examples, because basically if you want to get on the Prince's early season wave (before the show, as a whole, became ever so slightly less swagless) you just have to wear the loudest, most '90s shit you can find. Matching not required, and bonus points for one-strap overalls.
