The Traitor (season 7)

Peter Baelish — or Littlefinger, if you prefer — doesn’t change his wardrobe much over the course of Game of Thrones. While some of his outfits are a bit more formal than others, they all seem to share common attributes. He mostly sports darker colors (black appears to be a favorite), and he doesn’t tend to wear anything with too many embellishments or loud patterns.

The outfit from Littlefinger’s final scene is a perfect example of his signature look. There’s a reason for his lack of opulence. Given that the man tends to play multiple sides at once, often betraying those closest to him, it makes sense he’d choose outfits that don’t draw too much attention to him. The dark colors and plain patterns allow him to blend into the background of any environment. In this case, he tries to pull the strings at Winterfell without arousing suspicion, but thankfully the Stark siblings sniff him out.

It’s also worth nothing that, while Littlefinger’s costumes have major features in common, they also incorporate symbols from whichever House he’s attempting to manipulate at the time. His garments in King’s Landing are made of silk and other materials often seen at the court, while his Winterfell wardrobe seems to be made of something heavier.

And Littlefinger is also wearing his mockingbird pin on his lapel, the symbol of his own self-made house. While he’s proud of how far he’s come —  and the fact that he became a lord not through birthright but through his own wit — this pin also reminds audiences of how Littlefinger managed all of this: by constantly changing allegiances.
