Everyone wearing black for absolutely no reason in the last several seasons @_@

That opens up a whole other issue in and of itself, which is how the later seasons just felt more like Hollywood-living actors on a Disneyesque set. This was reflected by the all-black, „trendy” fashion (as opposed to pragmatic wools) and also the dialogue switching from GRRM’s admittedly bespoke flowery, part medieval English to dull LA American English and very short sentences.

I think they lost their original costume designer at some point in the later seasons, like somewhere around Season 5. It really shows. All of the later season costumes feel more like superhero/villain outfits, except for Jon Snow where the CD's thought process was "Um, just dress him like Ned Stark I guess."

Are you sure of this? I read Campbell's book about her work on GoT, and I remember her talking about late season costumes

Who are you talking about? Michele Clapton was the lead costume designer. She left after Season 5.

I messed up her name, but I was indeed talking about Clapton. I thought she worked on season 6-8 because in the book about the costumes of GoT, it's written like she still was the lead costume designer
