Is there anyone in Hollywood who has had the turnaround of Jonah Hill? Like that nerdy kid at school who you see ten years later only to find he’s a streetwear-draped millionaire clad in the world’s hottest brands and a best friend of Leonardo DiCaprio (don’t forget the two Oscar nods as well). This is the guy who played the archetypal high-school loser in breakthrough comedy Superbad. The transformation is a big one. There’s even a whole section on social media titled ‘Jonah Hill fit watch 2k18’.

And let’s talk about fashion because, well, Steve Jobs was super successful but sorry Steve, dad jeans and a baggy turtleneck do not make you a snappy dresser. Hill’s fashion style largely stems from his love of skate culture and in fact, his directorial debut Mid90s is set in the 1990s LA skate scene.

Skater brands have, of course, been at the top of the streetwear pile since the turn of the decade, with Supreme and Palace leading the pack. It’s a new world order in menswear, making Hill a new kind of style icon. He even featured in two snigger-inducing parody commercials for Palace.

The Look

What does Hill rep apart from logo tees then? Well, it mostly comes back to that 1990s skate style, rampant in fashion at the moment and a probable explanation for Hill’s own rise as an unlikely style icon. Trousers and jeans are wide legged which better suits the bulkier frame of the actor (although massive kudos to his recent weight loss).

That’s not to say Hill’s look is all unruly teen. Red carpet looks see the actor modernize his tailoring choices with a pair of sneakers or an air tie while Hill is also partial to a Cuban collar shirt when it comes to smart-casual looks – another zeitgeist piece in the fashion world at the moment.
