1) In the airport, Ty looks just like any other guy. His dark colored sweater keeps his demented mind hidden. Ty was wearing boots that he would later wear in the desert. Although, Gemma had not considered any of that at the time of their first one on one encounter, the outfit makes sense now. Ty was dressed as the perfect kidnapper.

2) When Ty goes out to work everyday in the hot, desert sun, he has to wear clothing that covers him lightly to avoid the sun poisoning. This outfit will fit right to his personality once it’s covered in desert sand and Ty’s sweat. Gemma will watch him working in this outfit and guiltily appreciate the unbuttoned shirt. The light colors take away from his bad personality, making him seem gentle.

3) These shorts were meant to be worn during the painting scene. Although Ty appears naked in the book, he will have these shorts on for the movie. The burnt orange color of the shorts reflects the colors of the sand in the Australian desert. When Ty paints over them, they are a canvas just like the rest of his body.
