An Ode to Eleven’s Wet Suit on ‘Stranger Things’
There are a lot of fashion choices on Stranger Things that fans love. Whether it be a Hellfire Club shirt, an 80s hair style, or a sweatshirt for a fictional radio station, fans want to dress like their favorite characters. Maybe don’t wear a wet suit around town though.
In season 5 of the hit Netflix series, Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) is wearing a wet suit to use her powers to try to connect with Will (Noah Schnapp). And when she realizes that Vecna is trying to come for Max (Sadie Sink), she jumps out of her tank to find a revived Will and on a new mission: Get to the hospital to save Max.
Now, I recognize that they were all in a rush to get out of there but El was aware enough to throw on sweatpants and shoes so I have to ask: Could she not grab a sweatshirt? For the rest of the season, she is wearing a wet suit in every scene. Sure, her attire is not the focus of their issues but they’re in a radio station that has branded sweatshirts. She couldn’t use one so she wasn’t sitting in a wet piece of clothing during all of their meetings.
Honestly, watching Will’s coming out scene and cutting to Eleven in a wet suit truly did make me laugh because I know that if she got that wet suit from Murray, he has to have some kind of shirt in the van that she can wear!
But I do think it is a hilarious choice. At this point, is she going to be wearing that wet suit for the final battle between Hawkins and Vecna? What if she has to swim somewhere? At least she’s prepared! I do love that she is rocking a wet suit though.
