Example of good costume in a film

Example of costume:

The example of good costume design in a film i will be using is Captain Americas ‘nomad’ costume in Avengers: Infinity war.

This is a good costume due to the contrast it has to his regular outfit.

As seen below, the later costume is worn, weathered and aged, all whilst missing the signature star that is usually sported on the front of his chest. This change of costume is significant as it is symbolic to Captain America’s character development, as he goes from being loved by the american people and government, to being wanted and  having to be in hiding from the government on the run hence the name being the ‘Nomad’ outfit, this is shown in his costume by the lack of the regular patriotic look, red white and blue gone, missing star and shield being replaced etc. This symbolism in the costume is what makes this a good costume design.

Additionally, him gaining long hair and a beard add to the idea that he has been on the run and not settled or maintained.
