Based on the graphic novel of the same name and written for Netflix by Alice Oseman, Heartstopper is a British coming-of-age TV show that offers romance and comedy in equal measure. It tells the story of high school students Charlie Spring (Joe Locke) and Nick Nelson (Kit Connor) who fall in love when they’re assigned to sit next to each other in class. The classic, parent-influenced pieces of Charlie’s wardrobe are juxtaposed with Nick’s laid-back, brand-heavy sporty vibe to symbolize their different backgrounds and social statures. The bright, patterned and free-spirited styles of their friends add a fresh, fun element to the mix, aligning with the experimental nature of teenage years in general.
