8 TV Characters Whose Wardrobe Was Better Than The Show

8. Benedict Cumberbatch - Sherlock

First of all, let's all just take a second to appreciate Benedict Cumberbatch's cheekbones. Done? Good. Now, lets discuss his wardrobe.

When the first episode of Sherlock aired in 2010, there was a lot of apprehension from the press about how Benedict would play this infamous character, luckily he did it brilliantly, and even more luckily he brought a new edge to the iconic Sherlock Holmes attire.

As the original Sherlock Holmes first appeared in print in 1887, he was a smartly dressed and professional man, and this look has been carried on through the Robert Downey Jr films and onto Cumberbatch's character. One piece of clothing that caught everybody's eye was his knee length coat and oversized collar. Whether it was teamed with a blazer, a scarf or a crisp white shirt and high collar.

This iconic coat, and Cumberbatch's cheekbones, brought Sherlock into the 21st Century and at times had us more excited about what the detective would be wearing in the net episode rather than the crime he'd be solving.
