Is Paul Wesley actually a vampire in real life? As soon as I saw Stefan Salvatore on the first episode of the first season of Vampire Diaries, I immediately thought, “that guy actually looks like a vampire”. And I’ll be honest, I thought that the costume designers were going to have him always walking around in black clothing (or dark grey), but I quickly learned that wasn’t the case.
Stefan’s usually wearing darker colors, but if you pay attention, they do a pretty good job of not having him wear black and grey all the time.

Stefan Salvatore's Jackets
Stefan has quite a few different jackets that he wears throughout Vampire Diaries, but the style overall is pretty consistent.
One of my favorite jackets of Stefan’s is his black denim jacket. I’m not sure what brand it is, and I’ve read things like it’s Levi’s, Guess, H&M, etc.
This Levi’s denim trucker jacket looks almost identical to the one Stefan likes to wear.
I own a few Levi’s jackets, and while they’re a little on the expensive side, I think they’re worth it, they fit and look great.
Stefan's Leather Jacket
Just like with Damon, Vampire Diaries’ costume designer Jennifer Bryan mentioned Stefan’s leather jacket in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, “Stefan’s jacket is a Boss, a washed leather so it has that distressed, worn-in process built-in, like he’s had it forever.”
The exact Hugo Boss leather jacket that Stefan wears isn’t made anymore, so if you want the exact jacket, you’d have to find it used somewhere like Ebay or a local thrift store.
That being said, I was able to find a couple leather jackets that I think look a lot like the one he wears. The first one I found is this vintage stand collar leather jacket, which keeps the same general style as Stefan’s jacket, and it fits really well too.
Hugo Boss jackets tend to be pretty expensive ($400+), but this jacket is under $100, which is especially good if you’re only planning on using it for Halloween and/or cosplay.
Another awesome jacket I found is this Levi’s 2 pocket leather jacket. I don’t think it looks quite as close to Stefan’s actual leather jacket as the vintage stand collar one, but the style is still the same, and I think it looks even better.
Hoodies Everywhere
Anyone that watches Vampire Diaries knows that Stefan wears hoodies. A lot…and with almost everything.
