It is time for Garth Blackwood to make his annual selection for THE COLLINWOOD CHATTER of the 10 best dressed characters on the show. The Master of Dartmoor asks that you share your thoughts with him.
-
Elizabeth--On the very first episode she looked so glamorous in that black dress and jewels. She had the best wardrobe in the show.8)
Roger--He looked great lounging around Collinwood in those elegant smoking jackets.[coolg]
Maggie--Occasionally, she wore mod sixties styles--the quilted skirt, the paisley mini-dress. Those styles were "in" then.[coolb]
-
Barnabas- His "Edwardian Mod" suits, combined with his Inverness and cane, give him the ultimate retro-hip look.
The Werewolf- His woodsy look is timeless, and the shoulder pads are a good decade ahead of their time.
Roger- The various understated ensembles that he wears just ooze that subtle, expensive aura of old money.
Carolyn- Unbridled, Unbreakable, and HOT! HOT! HOT!
Quentin Collins- Masculine, ghostly Victorian chic.
Tom Jennings- Beyond-the-grave casual, this undead stud stays up all night!
Nathan Forbes- New Wave! 200 years ahead of Adam Ant's uniformed elan.
Angelique- beyond mere wardrobe, this sexy sorceress looks good in any era! (Yes, even in psychedelic loungewear!)
Prof. Stokes- One class act, from stickpin to monocle, he exudes academic chic. Sharp enough to cut yourself on.
Burke Devlin #1- His sport jackets and trench coat exude post-beat era man-of-action cool.

Elizabeth had the best wardrobe. Very classy, and well put together.
Roger looked good in whatever they had him wear. Just a few wardrobe mistakes on his charactor.
Maggie--well, she looks great in anything.
Complaint not enough casual clothes. Would have loved to see Barnabas iin something less stuffy.

Tom Jennings- Beyond-the-grave casual
Petofi
LOL!! That phrase is positively inspired, Petofi! A whole new trend in Collinwood fashions. Beyond-the-grave casual! 8)
I would have to go with Liz as my #1, she always seems to be wearing the most elegantly tailored costumes in the most beautiful colors. The one exception I can think of was that odd, green shapeless dress with the rolled collar. It looked like something the Talosians on Star Trek might have worn (anyone here remember those?)
Roger and Barnabas are definitely on my list, too, although the B-Man may be a little fusty looking from time to time. But for someone who has been on a coffin for over 150 years, he looks amazingly hip, don't you think? Also, love those dressing gowns of his. He looks great in burgundy red, which is a favorite color of mine, too.
As for Maggie and Carolyn, sometimes they do dress beautifully but there have been some pretty big fashion faux pas from time to time (lime green sweaters, crazy quilt skirts, etc.). The same could perhaps be said for Julia, who often embodies professional chic. She has been looking quite good lately as I recall.
As for Quentin, well, he falls into the category "couldn't look bad if he dressed in manure". Nuff said!

Yes! I enjoyed petofi's list. And now I'm seeing his avatar in a whole new light. :D

SPOILER...
Ah yes, though he may never live down the orange horror in 1971 PT... or his "futuristic" threads spied through Petofi's magical cabinet <snort!> (godawful enough to make you want to stay in your own time). But the torn shirts in 1897 and navy blue suit in PT more than make up for them. [thumb]

The best undressed is classified information...;)

I have to say that Barnabas would be #1--his perfect English gentlemanish attire is wonderful.
Elizabeth---elegant in anything she wears.
Angelique---absolutely gorgeous; would look good in
in a burlap sack.
Chris-------I definitely agree with Petofi---LLBean would
be proud.
Maggie----very stylish; chic!
Spoiler---------------------------!!!!
Jonathan also looks great later on in his more casual
role-----------------most sexy!!
Gone shopping----Misty

Ooooh! I love these discussions.
Of course my favorite Barnabas is the best dressed man:
the grey mod suits-so cool looking,
the dark suit with vest and white shirt - fabulous and could pass for an 'undertaker' : - ),
the tails from the PT era, he looked so handsome, tall and slim (sigh),
But...I hated how they dressed him when he was Bramwell with that icky corduroy jacket and little string tie.
Elizabeth: for the most part, the best dressed woman on the show. And her best was the opening of the series with the dark, v-neck gown she wore when we see her looking out the window. A woman, so beautiful and elegantly dressed with no place to go.
-
Ooooh! I love these discussions.
Thank you and I do too!;)

Best dressed woman: Elizabeth
Best dressed man: Roger
Both had a couple of wardrobe mistakes, but on the whole their clothes were elegant, tasteful, classic and attractive. And for the most part, they wore the clothes, the clothes didn't wear them.

Petofi, your responses to this question were sheer perfection!
I loved the way Barnabas dressed, especially when he wore dark colors. His "in the past" outfits, for the most part, flattered him tremendously, especially 1795 and 1840. To paraphrase another board member, YUMMY!
Elizabeth Stoddard was the best dressed gal on the show, both in modern time and in the past. Her dresses in 1795 were to die for.
I loved some of Carolyn and Maggie's pretty clothing, but both DID make some scary fashion mistakes--but they were very modern for those times. Vicki's dresses rarely flattered her, and the sleeveless horrors they forced her to wear did nothing for her bare arms!
Love, Robin

I'll drink to that. [beer]
My all-time favorite dresser is 1840 Quentin.
Beautiful clothing -- dashing, elegant, sexy...and he wears it soooooo well.
Ooooo baby. [thumb]
Oh yeah, and his dark blue suit in 1970 present time. Ah...

I say Harry Johnson was best dressed. He always looked so fine, usually wore a suit and tie. He wore a red paisley shirt once, that I would like to have seen more of, it was worn under a sweater, bet that red shirt looked great with his red hair! I also like the gold shirt with green and white stripes. His olive green slacks inspired me to buy a pair of olive green Dickies. In the last issue of Glamour magazine I received, there was a very interesting fashion statement, a woman wearing a floral skirt with a gold corduroy jacket, that I swear looked just like the one Harry wore! It even had the same buttons. The woman was praised for her outfit. She gets my approval too. She must've found some vintage clothing somewhere. It had sort of an old look to it, but it was still in great condition. Harry wins my fashion vote.

i.e. Elizabeth's hairbows... and Rogers??

Well I'd have to say Roger's only fashion faux pas would have been those tweed jackets with the elbow patches....other than that he was impeccable.

I would love to have seen Roger wear more casual outfits on occasion. He had a terrific physique. But as you say, he was usually impeccably dressed. I'll bet he would look great in a nice pair of jeans and a well worn, soft flannel shirt with the cuffs rolled up.
Speaking of jeans, my eyes almost fell out of my head when I saw a video with David Soul in it from maybe the mid-70's. Unfortunately I can't remember the name of it but it was of the horror genre. It's terrible of me but I can't remember the movie but I can sure remember how great that man looked in those jeans!
