Hot weather is not usually a friend to menswear. It limits your options and invites you to bare more skin than anyone really wants to see. Fortunately, this summer’s record-breaking temperatures haven’t caused the 15 guys below to go running for ungodly short shorts – it’s been a white-hot season for tailoring, workwear and colourful streetwear, all of which have been paraded around fashion shows and publicity circuits by old reliables and new faces alike.

These are our picks for this year’s summer style heroes, along with the moves you should steal from each of them.

Jake Gyllenhaal

The menswear contest of the summer was a tag-team match: Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio for Once Upon A Time In Hollywood taking on Spider-Man’s Tom Holland and Jake Gyllenhaal. Close fight. But Gyllenhaal scored a technical knockout with a wardrobe that was big on dressed-down tailoring. He did open double-breasted jackets, wore worker jackets as blazers and used some very prominent jewellery to give a simple blue suit some louche attitude. Off-duty, he even managed to pull off the tricky tie-dye trend.

What to steal: The classic slick-back haircut, which is the kind of solid foundation that let’s you experiment with everything else.

Leonardo DiCaprio

Leonardo DiCaprio’s ’70s-inspired costumes in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood should give you plenty to think about for autumn-winter, but the man looked just as good off-camera. Wearing statesmanlike suits and statement jackets, he looked every inch Hollywood royalty all summer long. Plus, and this is a bit of a tangent, but only he and co-star Brad Pitt could get us thinking that the goatee is due a comeback.

What to steal: Not the goatee, at least not yet. Go for a tan suede jacket instead – they looked as good in 1969 as they do today.

Caleb McLaughlin

As Stranger Things made a triumphant return to Netflix this summer, so too did Caleb McLaughlin to red carpets everywhere. Most of his young castmates have become style icons alongside him but it’s McLaughlin, for our money, who is having the most fun with it. He clashes patterns and colours and dress codes all in a single look and still steps out looking balanced and very, very stylish. He’s big into colourful shirts and chunky white trainers but throws in tailored pieces without turning the look upside-down.
