Armie Hammer might be a 21st century A-lister, but he’s made in the mould of the old school: he’s got the poise and profile of a classic movie star (and the jaw line to match). It’s not an easy status to achieve without looking good in some top notch threads.

Luckily, Armie Hammer’s style is as polished as the characters he plays on screen. The Man From UNCLE and Call Me By Your Name, in particular, are two of the best-dressed films of the last 10 years and Hammer wore the hell out of those costumes. Maybe something rubbed off. Or maybe he’s just good at this stuff.

From confident tailoring to superlative off-duty looks, he has the thing that underpins all good style: he makes it look easy.

The Look

Unlike other big-name movie stars, Armie Hammer doesn’t reach for many risky, headline-grabbing outfits (the odd Adidas tracksuit notwithstanding). He doesn’t need to. You’ll find him in inch-perfect tailoring whenever there are flashbulbs around. Hammer experiments a little with color but has a knack of making even hard-to-wear shades perfectly coordinated.

And his dress-down game is locked tight: masculine workwear staples and heavy coats are his go-to. Like Ryan Gosling, he can throw on a simple denim shirt and make it look like a masterstroke.

Inspiration: Cary Grant, James Dean, Bruce Springsteen

Go-to brands: Ralph Lauren, Salvatore Ferragamo, Giorgio Armani

Seeing The Light

Tailoring this light in color is a bold choice if you’re a white man. But Hammer has two things that make it work: the tan and the tie. The tan means the suit doesn’t wash him out, while the dark color of the tie gives the outfit some much-needed contrast.

Give it a try for a summer wedding outfit.

Big Coat Energy

If there’s one thing every man should know about a relaxed get-up, it’s this: any plain outfit can be improved with one daring or eye-catching item.
