Brad Bakshi from Mythic Quest
Brad Bakshi (played by Daniel Pudi) is the head of monetization for the game developer in the Apple TV+ series Mythic Quest.

He has also come into conflict with C.W. Longbottom after playing a nasty prank on the older man. Brad dresses in business casual attire, preferring comfortable sweaters layered over his collared shirts. His more preppy looks helps to set him apart from the creative development team members.
Sophie Foster from Keeper of the Lost Cities: Lodestar
Sophie Foster returns in Shannon Messenger’s fifth entry into the Keeper of the Lost Cities series. In Lodestar, Sophie finds herself fighting against dark forces as she questions whether she can trust the people around her. As always, Sophie is shown on the cover wearing dark tights and with a short Renaissance-inspired dress and cloak. To recreate her look, you may have to be a little flexible, as finding an exact replica of her costume can be difficult. Focus on similar silhouettes such as a pinafore dress that will mimic the fitted bodice of the one she’s depicted wearing, or a handkerchief hem if you’re more interested in replicating the movement of her skirt.

Just be sure to allow plenty of time for it dry before you have to wear it!
