The costumes in aren’t celebrated enough. What gives?

There are countless aspects that make it great — the writing, acting, directing, cinematography, etc. But personally, I don’t think the costumes are celebrated enough. What gives?
Anthony Jr.’s Marilyn Manson T-Shirt Photo: HBO We don’t know it yet in season one, episode four, but the cute and chubby A.J. Soprano grows into a “troubled” teen who gets high at his own confirmation party. He has so much misdirected anger and angst in the series that this Marilyn Manson T-shirt feels like a premonition. He’s also got an emo sensitivity to him, like when he reads “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost and is overcome by the meaninglessness of life.
Furio’s Fresh Off the Boat Shirt Photo: HBO With his long, flowing hair, Italian accent, and gilded T-shirts, Furio Giunta is one of the more obviously stylish characters on the show. It’s no wonder he wins Carmela’s heart when he arrives from Naples. Still, he has trouble assimilating in America — and no wonder. His shirts don’t look like anyone else’s, and embody a sort of flamboyance that would only fly in the home country.
Paulie Walnuts’ Tracksuit Suspenders Photo: HBO Paulie is also one of the old dogs, but unlike Silvio, he’s a bit more reckless, hence his preference for tracksuits. In the finale of season five, Tony pays Paulie an unexpected visit, and we see him wearing suspenders with his tracksuit, like he would an actual suit. Goes to show why the look was referred to locally as a “Bensonhurst Tuxedo.”
