Formal wear - London and beyond

The life style on the Plateau lends itself to less formal clothing. As we have discussed before the older members of the expedition do prefer a more formal look, but they make concessions to their environment by leaving ties and cravats at home. The younger expedition members are more casual in their Plateau style. In our analysis of formal wear we will focus on them to a larger degree, as the difference to their Plateau style is more pronounced.

Who is John Malone? Ned Malone's older brother. He showed up early on, but his brother took over.

Our first encounter with the explorers happened in London, all of them dressed in rather formal attire. The gentlemen wore conservative suits, which were not necessarily a testament to a great fashion sense. Marguerite Krux entered the scene with her usual flair, wowing a room full of stuffy scholars with her elegance and style. Especially her red dress has to be noted here, as she wears a much more subdued color scheme on the Plateau. We love her in red!

Veronica Layton is very partial to her jungle outfit and we know of only three occasions, when she branched out into formal wear. The first one was in honor of Ned's birthday, the second one was in Ned's dream and the third one was in the magic village when she dated the manic musician, Ducart. There's a distinct pattern here, obviously Veronica is only wearing formal wear to impress a potential suitor.

The apex of formality in clothing happened undoubtedly in the cursed castle. The look of heavy robes, accessorized with wigs and stunning jewelry, is life-threatening, but fetching nonetheless. This episode also marks a fashion milestone - it's the first time we see Malone in black. Sure, he wasn't quite himself and the wig he wore took a bit of getting used to, but we certainly appreciated his wicked character.
