He certainly looks at home in the clothes he’s wearing on set in a North London apartment. Inspired by some of the ‘70s looks in the film, featuring corduroy, suede and shades of brown, all synonymous with the era of disco, LSD and of course Mr Rocket Man himself. And not a pointy shoe in sight. His real style inspiration, though? “The shirts that Tony Soprano wears. I don’t have the body or the gut for it; in fact, I don’t have the bravado or the guts for it, but there’s something about the chains and the rings and the open shirts.” At 23 years old, there’s plenty of time left for the gut – and the big break, too. It just won’t be him giving it out this time.

How To Make ’70s Style Work In The 21st Century

Go Big On Your Fit

Menswear is loosening up after a decade or more of skinny fits. That doesn’t mean flares are back, but roomier 70’s-style fits are flattering and comfortable when you get them right. Think loose denim shirts, oversized knitwear and pleated trousers.

Get Swayed By Suede

Tactile fabrics are one of the lasting style takeaways from the 1970s. Corduroy is back, maybe for good, but don’t forget cow hide. A strokable suede jacket is worth saving up for and will last years if you take care of it. Luxurious and perfect for adding some subtle fabric contrast to an outfit, it’s a must-have for spring and autumn.

Warm To A Richer Palette

The ’70s was not the decade of staple white, grey and navy, which are either classic or boring depending on your point of view. If you want to expand the colors you wear, look to the decade’s rich brown, burnt orange and tarnished yellow as a starting point. These warm colors suit almost every skin tone and let you add some brightness without going close to the neon trend.
