Lorna Marie Mugan took over in season two and kept the look going. In season three, Alexandra Caulfield managed many iconic looks. And afterwards, Alison McCosh, the current costume designer, took the reins from there. Both Cawley and Mugan won an award for Best Costume Design in 2014 and 2015, and McCosh was nominated for one in 2018. Even Englishmen at the lower classes would have maybe borrowed a morning coat and not just come with a regular day suit or, of course, they would have just worn the nicest clothes they had if they couldn’t afford anything else.

Charles Sabini (Noah Taylor) In this scene, you can see Tommy wearing shirt garters, which was typically something from men who couldn’t afford shirts that were made for them and so, they had shorter arms.

Maybe it also gives them a reminiscence of Julius Caesar, who had a similar forward-facing hairstyle. This hairstyle evolved from the curtain hairstyle. It was very practical because you could keep it short, probably even at home, and it would still give you an overall clean look. Also, it gave you versatility because the top could be styled in different ways. Oh, and don't forget there's going to be a Peaky Blinders movie to replace season seven, along with potential spin-off TV shows, so we'll be delving into Peaky projects for many years to come, it seems.Laurence has been a broadcasting contributor on television and radio, including KISS, Heat Radio, BBC Radio London, Radio 5 Live, and BBC Breakfast.
