A peak-lapel navy blazer with gold hardware will out-class everyone else at the party.

"Gray Matter"
Season 1, Episode 5

Though that's a pretty easy task when you're based in Albuquerque, NM.

A dark, monochromatic look is clean, intimidating, and doesn't play around.

"Crazy Handful of Nothin'"
Season 1, Episode 6

Of course, having a fistful of fulminated mercury will also help you look tough.

A few simple accessories can completely change your style.

"A No-Rough-Stuff-Type Deal"
Season 1, Episode 7

Sunglasses and a pork pie hat help Walter White transform into Heisenberg, his alter ego that eventually rules over a meth empire.

All-black-everything will always, no matter what, be a dope look.

"Better Call Saul"
Season 2, Episode 8

If you're bold enough to mimic Kanye, A$AP Rocky, 2 Chainz, and Walter White, then top it off with an intimidating mask. Just remember ain't no such thing as half-way crooks.

If you fall in love with a piece, don't be afraid to cop it in multiple colors.

"Better Call Saul"
Season 2, Episode 8

In Walter's case, he has a full color run on his favorite barracuda jacket model.

A black and white cozy boy 'fit is a necessity.

"4 Days Out"
Season 2, Episode 9

Not sure about the headwrap though. Bedouin-chic has yet to catch on, and you'll probably offend some people.

Nothing says "kingpin steez" like chalk pinstripes and black-on-black.

"Phoenix"
Season 2, Episode 12

Your lordliness will be obvious as soon as you step in the room.

If you're bold enough to come through draped in a robe, you'll probably out-stunt everyone.

"No Más"

Just make sure it doesn't blow open, especially when standing close to a fire.

Rolling your sleeves properly is deceptively difficult.

"Kafkaesque"
Season 3, Episode 9

Just like cooking meth, it takes practice. But once you figure out which formula works best for you, you're set.

Matching top and bottom shades look dope when broken up with some bright color.

"Thirty-Eight Snub"

If you don't already own heavy-duty rain gear, go cop immediately.

"Bullet Points"
Season 4, Episode 4


It doesn't rain much in New Mexico, but if you ever need to battle the elements be sure to cop a jacket from Stutterheim or Norse Projects.


Playing with fit and silhouette can result in dope and unique looks.

"Hermanos"
Season 4, Episode 8

We're not saying that if you wear a long T-shirt you should go commando underneath, but Walter is killin' it in this patterned hospital gown that resembles the fit of the Kanye x APC T-shirts.

A solid navy shirt is one of the most versatile pieces you can own.

"Blood Money"
Season 5, Episode 1

This piece can almost go with anything, including bright blue meth.

Grizzled beards and thick frames don't automatically relegate you to lame hipsterdom.

"Blood Money"
Season 5, Episode 1

Walter does it right with some sick workwear and an awesome "Don't fucking talk to me until I've had my coffee" expression.

Layering properly will immediately give you a sartorial step over the competition.

"Hazard Pay"
Season 5, Episode 3

With just the right amount of shirt cuff and collar peeking over his navy barracuda jacket, Walter is definitely stunting on fellow-baldie Mike.

A jumpsuit is a workwear staple, but a style risk that should be broken out with caution.

"Hazard Pay"
Season 5, Episode 3

If you're rocking one of these, you're either putting in work or trying to get street styled.

Dress appropriately for the task at hand.

"Dead Freight"
Season 5, Episode 5

If you have to do a job that requires getting down and dirty, like removing a tree stump or jacking 1,000 gallons of methylamine, wear gear that will stand up to the task.
