Power Dressing

Though there will always be space in the male wardrobe for conventional colors, modern tailoring of recent seasons has strayed into a pigment blowout where no shade is off limits. Pair that with the revival of double-breasted cuts and wide lapels that was all over the latest fashion month like a rash and you have this look. Pastel perfection.

Wrapping Up Warm

Get the books out because you’re about to be schooled in how to do winter preppiness. A classic shirt under a simple knit is a good base, followed by a scarf to fly behind you as you rush between Ivy League lectures – and of course, brogued footwear is a must. When the chill bites, a grey herringbone overcoat is the ideal top layer and also helpfully works some texture into the overall look.

Henley Sonata

The long-sleeved Henley top is a solid option when looking for an alternative to casual crew neck tees and oft-used button-down Oxford shirts. For an additional switch, opt for grey instead of white for a flattering shade that, as is the case here, works expertly with dark raw denim and black Chelsea boots.

Send To Printer

There was a time when the sight of a short-sleeve shirt was usually accompanied by the click-click of a tourist’s camera, but now even homebodies are getting in on the style. Oftentimes the shirt says enough by itself without the need for something to scream down below so simply pair yours with some chinos or Elgort’s favoured black jeans and boots combination instead.

Mind The Gap

Elgort’s red carpet posing might be as awkward as Dwayne Johnson forever fastening his cufflinks, but this outfit at least is an example we’d suggest you follow. The star of the show is the four-by-one double-breasted jacket, cut to a flattering silhouette and designed to wrap around and be buttoned at the bottom, subverting our notions of traditional tailoring and looking damn cool while doing so. NB he does however get points deducted for the jacket sleeves, which are slightly too long.
