15 Times Ansel Elgort Made A Clean Getaway In A Killer Outfit
It’s hard to get a read on Ansel Elgort. The actor first came to our attention while breaking teenage hearts with a role in A Fault In Our Stars, before a mini-reinvention as a super slick getaway driver in one of the most stylish films of 2017, Baby Driver. Since then, he’s also developed a sideline as an EDM-playing, air-punching DJ under the name Ansølo (not to be confused with any members of the Star Wars franchise), then hitting the junket circuit to refer to himself as “the most threatening guy ever”, whatever that means.
So while Elgort flits between cutesy teen heart-throb and hubristic Hollywood have-it-all, one thing we are able to get a read on like a Walt Disney book in size 16 font is the 24-year-old’s undoubted knack for dressing himself with a rare finesse for someone of his age.
The Look
It’s hard to ignore the fact that most Hollywood young guns all have stylists now, but there is a flair to Elgort’s look that can’t all have been handpicked for him. His tailoring choices are classy and timeless, yet he isn’t afraid to play around with cuts and colours while mixing up traditional styles.
More casual looks will see sporty jackets come into the mix, but far from playing ball with the baggy streetwear crowd, Elgort keeps his silhouette slim, tapered and undeniably well put together.

There are so many shades of blue that you’d be a fool to stick with bog-standard navy. Make like Elgort and explore different hues, like this tidy teal number. The vibrant tone works well with more neutral brown (most blues do), and everywhere else he makes sure his style is on point – doing the top button of his suit up and getting all matchy-matchy with the jumper and shoes.
