Dinner Is Served

Not that the already trim actor needs any help, but dark colours like black and weirdly-darker-than-black-but-not-actually-black midnight blue have a spot-on reputation for slimming their wearer down. A dinner jacket should technically have contrast silk details, but Elgort gets around this with the heightened formality of a shawl lapel while also keeping his flecks of flair to a minimum.

Rocket Man

The idea of a statement hoodie would have most running for the hills on any given Sunday, but this bulky, leather option isn’t your typical streetwear staple. Hanging on Elgort’s shoulders, it lends the Manhattan native the look of an urban astronaut, hit home by some rocket fuelled statement knitwear. Elsewhere, the chunky trainers might have been one statement piece too far if it wasn’t for the look’s overall muted color palette, keeping things in check.

Velvet Goldmine

It’s hard to tweak the standard black tie uniform and not come off try-hard. However, if there’s any piece worth contradicting that advice for it’s the velvet jacket. It’s time-honored enough to stand the rigors of the dress code while injecting a smidgen of fun into the never-ending vortex of made-up penguin suits. Just the jacket, mind; the trousers and shirt should stick to their traditional bedrock for the top half to be its most potent.

Jump In My Car

Standing next to the granddaddy of American muscle cars, the Ford Mustang, Elgort himself flexes some serious style in a preppy boating-style blazer. Once again sticking to his black jeans, up top Elgort opts for the air tie which keeps the look modern and refined, while he sports every man’s best friend on the shoe rack down below – the ever-versatile white sneaker.
