Sherlock Holmes on the popular BBC television series is the very definition of class and style. His attire shows his personality in the way that he doesn’t like to overcomplicate things.

Sherlock, played by Benedict Cumberbatch, keeps his look clean, simple, and traditionally British.
Sherlock wears a Men’s Long Sleeve Dress Shirt, Men’s Two-Button Suit, Cashmere Feel Scarf, Men’s Black Dress Shoes, and Men’s Wool Overcoat. Even though Sherlock doesn’t wear anything too over the top, everyone recognizes his classic style as unmistakenly Sherlock Holmes. He doesn’t draw too much attention to himself by avoiding bright colors and blending in with the crowd. Though we’re all pretty sure that he has a few tricks up his sleeves and he isn’t afraid to use them.

About Sherlock Holmes
Sherlock Holmes is probably the most infamous detective of all time. Sherlock solves mysteries for whoever reaches out to him and he believes he can help them solve their issue. He doesn’t do this alone- John Watson is his right hand man and tags along for every mystery to be solved. Sherlock seems to have an antisocial personality even though he works with and for people on a daily basis. He uses deductive reasoning and his skill of attention to detail to help solve crimes. He does tend to get bored easily, and many people take his personality to be rude and demeaning, but this is not always the case.
Sherlock does have a sense of humor- although it may be a bit wicked. He will manipulate people, even those closest to him, to test his ideas. Sherlock may seem as though he is tough and cannot be hurt, but he has a soft side and can be an emotional person. He is an unstoppable detective and brilliant human being.
