The Case For Fez As Euphoria's Underrated Style Icon, On And Off The Screen
While the conflict, dramatic soundtracks, and cinematography in Euphoria keep us gripped, it's the character's fashion tastes that have us obsessing over the show. And season two took things to a whole new level.
Whether it be introducing new character Elliot by kitting him out in a Telfar hoodie, Rue wearing vintage Jean Paul Gaultier, or Jules in a psychedelic hockey T-shirt from Perks and Mini, every episode had us daydreaming about what our Euphoria High 'fit would be. And nine times out of ten, mine was pretty close to what Fez wears.
Angus Cloud's drug dealing character, full name Fezco, has become the internet's latest crush. He has garnered a loyal fanbase that excuses the character's actions in favor of his charm. Or in our case, in favor of his style.
There's a lot of competition for the best-dressed character in Euphoria — Zendaya's character Rue often dominate the style conversation and the data points towards Alexa Demie's Maddy being the most stylish character — but we think Fez might be the world's best-dressed (and most lovable) drug dealer.
He has a uniform that comprises streetwear essentials from labels such as Palace, Supreme, and Ralph Lauren. His outfits have included Coogi jumpers, 90s Nike Air Max, and wide-leg jeans — he almost dresses like a streetwear OG. It's the kind of looks that first got us interested in fashion and seeing them on television screens will always be novel.
Although fans are still happy that the show didn't kill him off after the first season as was planned, the end of season two left us all wanting to see more from Fez.
Fortunately, Cloud's own taste isn't a far cry from Fez's trademark look and we've been seeing the actor pop-up everywhere since Season 2 first aired. Whether it be at fashion week, the Oscars, or him being interviewed in this very magazine, that actor has been making up for Fez's lack of on-screen time in season two.
We've compiled some of Angus Cloud's best fits, both on and off the screen, check them out below.
Check out our favorite outfits from Euphoria's underrated style icon below.
The Fezco uniform
Episode four of the latest season of Euphoria saw Fez nail his trademark look. A vintage Ralph Lauren Polo shirt with a large gold chain over the top and a pair of baggy jeans, it's a variation on a combination that we have seen him pull off throughout the show.
Burberry done the Cloud way
Cloud took TikTok's trick of turning a scarf into a balaclava for this Burberry-filled look. Wearing a scarf from the British heritage label, the actor paired it with a matching shorts and shirt set.
Sweater season
We won't give you any spoilers, but the first episode of season 2 was a pretty big one for Fez and he started the season off right with this Palace cable-knit sweater. While the London-based streetwear imprint might have made its name from bold graphics, this piece opts for small logo detailing on the chest of a classic menswear piece.
It's streetwear or nothing
Proving he is a street fashion OG, Cloud stepped out in one of the original contemporary streetwear labels, The Hundreds. We can only hope that Cloud's co-sign of the LA label means we are set to see its Adam Bomb motif everywhere again.
A graphic polo moment
If there's one thing we've learned about Fez it's that he loves a polo shirt. He's worn color-blocked Supreme styles and classic Ralph Lauren ones, but we've gone for this graphic polo shirt paired with a big chain.
