Casual

The 1980s might have been when big suits reached their peak (lapel), but to play it casual fast-forward a few years to the ’90s, when tailoring was democratised and mixed with baggy, mid-wash jeans, high-top sneakers and baseball caps. This is a vibe that you can lift pretty much lift wholesale.

3 Celebrities Who Nailed Oversized Tailoring

Harry Styles

Against all odds, former One Direction singer Harry Styles has become one of the coolest guys in music right now, thanks no doubt in part to an ongoing partnership with Gucci supremo Allesandro Michele. Regularly decked out in ’70s-inspired lapels, sweeping high-waisted trousers and plush velvet, this once teen star has become a man unafraid of pushing the boundaries. Follow his lead and whatever you do, do it with confidence.

A$AP Rocky

Remember when A$AP Rocky made an entire music video dedicated to Raf Simons? The Harlem rapper is one of the biggest fashion obsessives in the game, and is usually well ahead of the curve when it comes to trends. Lately he’s been championing louche fits like this baby pink red carpet look. Cut long and slim in the jacket and wide in the trouser, it’s an excellent option for taller men.

David Beckham

Since retiring from football, David Beckham has settled into the role of menswear elder quite nicely. Gone are the attention-grabbing full-leather looks and questionable haircuts, with bulletproof tailoring – like this laid-back double-breasted number, dressed down with a simple T-shirt and white Converse – taking their place.

The high street giant is currently awash with double-breasted blazers that reference the ’80s through broad, sharp shoulders beefed-up lapels and checked fabrics.
