I finished the first season of the new Forsyte drama on PBS, and I have questions, mostly about the wardrobe choices for the men. Clearly a lot of time, effort and money has been put into making the period look perfect, and then... Jolyon Forsyte wanders around London with no collar and no necktie? What's going on? Almost as baffling, when he walks into his office, most of the men are, for some reason, in their shirtsleeves. This seems really out of place. Would Jolyon also have been shirtless while boxing at his club? Maybe, but at least that tradeoff would have been clearly made in order to provide eye candy. But why can't he wear a tie? I'm baffled. Any insight? Am I missing something?
