‘Game of Thrones’: 15 Secrets and Details That the Costumes Reveal
Season 7 of Game of Thrones will see worlds collide, as Daenerys Targaryen arrives in Westeros to stake a claim to the Iron Throne. She’ll have to wrest it from Cersei Lannister’s cold, scheming fingers, though. And then there are the Starks, who have finally returned to and regained their family seat in Winterfell. Of course, the greatest threat of all is waiting on the other side of the Wall — the Night King and his army of White Walkers.

Clothes really do make the man (or woman) on Game of Thrones.
The epic drama has a lot going on, from political alliances to emotional betrayals to Red Weddings. And there are a ton of characters, in many different locations, engaged in battles, court intrigue, and even assassin training. So, what they wear and why they wear it can be very revealing details.
Costume designer Michele Clapton created the looks for the first five seasons, several statement outfits for the end of Season 6, and returned to craft the garments to be seen in Season 7.
Over that time, the characters have undergone huge transformations, internally and externally. Click through this slideshow to see what Clapton has said throughout the seasons about the secrets that the costumes of Game of Thrones can tell us.
Game of Thrones Season 7 premieres Sunday, July 16, at 9 p.m. on HBO.
