Screenfits earns a commission on some links below, at no cost to you. We choose the garments first and find where to buy them second — never the other way round.
Susie Glass dresses the way she negotiates: nothing loud, nothing accidental, every line finished. The tailoring is the armour and the gold is the receipt. Here is how to build it.
She is the only person in the room who actually runs anything, and the clothes are how she says so without saying it. A strong shoulder, a clean line underneath, a coat with enough weight to hang straight — the silhouette does the talking while she stays quiet. The palette is the estate she is quietly taking over: tobacco, chocolate, camel, cream. The only shine is gold, and there is never much of it.
Scene: The armour
01
Structured Blazer
Strong shoulder, single-breasted, nipped at the waist and long enough to cover the hip. Chocolate, tobacco or camel — never black, which belongs to a different show. Wool or a wool blend with enough body to hold its line when the jacket is left open.
Budget pick
ELLEVEN Women's Herringbone Tweed Blazer – Slim Fit Business Casual Jacket
★ 4.3 · 196 reviews
Herringbone tweed, which is more Gentlemen than a plain brown would have been — the show lives on an English estate and dresses like it. Slim through the body with a clean shoulder and a proper notch lapel, so it holds its line unbuttoned. Take Brown; the same listing runs black, grey and cream, and black is the one colour this look cannot use.

02
Camel Wool Overcoat
Knee-length or longer, notch lapel, and heavy enough to hang straight rather than swing. Camel, and the shade matters — a yellow camel reads costume, a greyed one reads expensive.

IDEALSANXUN Womens Long Wool Coats Fall Winter Double Breasted Trench Coat Peacoat
★ 4.4 · 965 reviews
The anchor. Long enough to fall past the knee and heavy enough to hang straight rather than swing, which is the difference between expensive and costume. The Camel colourway is a greyed camel rather than a yellow one — the right end of the range. Eleven other colours on the listing; none of them are hers.

03
Crisp White Shirt
A woven shirting — poplin or oxford — never a jersey knit. A structured collar that stands up without help, cuffs slim enough to sit under a jacket sleeve, and opaque enough to wear on its own. Pressed flat is the entire effect.
Budget pick
Women's Button Down Oxford Long Sleeve Shirt Wrinkle Resistant
★ 4.4 · 680 reviews
Oxford rather than poplin, and that is an upgrade here: the heavier basketweave holds the collar upright on its own, which is the whole point of the shirt. Cuffs are slim enough to disappear under a jacket sleeve. White, and it is opaque enough to wear with nothing over it.

Chunky Gold Hoops
Thick, plain and medium diameter — big enough to catch the light, small enough to keep on during a phone call. Gold plated over brass or steel, no stones, no texture, no charms.
Budget pick
CONRAN KREMIX Waterproof Chunky Gold Hoops Earrings for Women Non Tarnish, Thick Gold Plated Circle Open Hoop,Lightweigh
★ 4.3 · 585 reviews
Thick, plain, hollow so they stay light on the ear through a long day. Thirty millimetres is the sweet spot — reads from across a room, still fine on a phone call. Order 30MM-Gold: the listing also sells silver and two other diameters, and the small ones vanish.

Scene: The soft part
05
Cream Cable Knit
Heavy gauge, crew or funnel neck, in cream or oatmeal rather than white. The one soft thing she owns, and it works precisely because everything around it is sharp.
Budget pick
Okiwam Women's Oversized Sweaters Crewneck Cable Knit Pullover
★ 4.2 · 759 reviews
The one soft thing in the wardrobe, and it works because everything around it is sharp. Heavy-gauge cable, crew neck, cut oversized so it layers under the coat without bunching. Colour is Beige White — the true cream — which is also the cheapest option on the listing; the rest run six dollars more.

Why it works
Susie's wardrobe is a negotiating position. Everything is structured — a shoulder that holds its line, a coat with real weight, a shirt pressed flat enough to look deliberate — because structure reads as control, and control is the point. The palette never shouts. Copy the proportions rather than the individual pieces: one strong shoulder, one clean line underneath, nothing fussy at the neck, and shoes you could leave a room in quickly. Every piece is a colour that already exists somewhere else in the outfit, which is why it looks expensive rather than assembled. The armour metaphor is hers, not ours, and it holds.

Questions people actually ask
What does Susie Glass actually wear in The Gentlemen?
Tailoring, almost exclusively. Structured single-breasted blazers and two-piece suits in tobacco, chocolate and camel, layered over a crisp poplin shirt or a heavy knit, with a long wool overcoat on top. Accessories are deliberately sparse: plain gold hoops, an occasional chain, hair pulled back off the face. The costume department put her in more than twenty-five looks across the first three episodes of season two, and almost none of them are black.
How do I get the look without buying designer tailoring?
Buy the shoulder and the coat properly and let everything else be cheap. A blazer with real structure through the shoulder and a wool overcoat with enough weight to hang straight are the two pieces that read expensive from across a room; a poplin shirt and gold-plated hoops underneath cost very little and nobody can tell. Keep every piece inside the same warm brown-to-cream range and the outfit reads as one decision instead of four.
What ruins it?
Black, mostly — it belongs to a different show and kills the warmth the whole palette depends on. After that: an unstructured or "relaxed" blazer that collapses at the shoulder, a thin coat that swings instead of hanging, anything shiny that is not gold, and a busy necklace at an open collar. If you are choosing between two camels, take the greyer one; a yellow camel reads costume.
