Introduction

Jeremy Piven is a man attracted to a stylish role. With seven years playing the inimitable Ari Gold on hit show Entourage and a more recent jaunt portraying the titular role in ITV’s Mr Selfridge, the 48 year-old plays the brash, sharp tongue and suited man exceptionally well.

Of course, for those who know and love Entourage, it’s incredibly difficult to separate Mr Piven and Mr Gold. Although it’s unfair to typecast, he’s almost fused into one imaginatively insulting, f-bomb dropping, well-dressed gent, who remains wholly likeable.

Personal vs. Celluloid

Mr Piven’s personal style is unlike that of the characters he depicts so well. Ari Gold is styled to fit his status so power suiting is a wardrobe staple, with imposing Windsor knots and perfected pocket squares supporting the exquisitely cut tailoring.

However, Ari’s true appeal stems from his inimitable gravitas and rock solid confidence, which is portrayed flawlessly by Piven. These personal traits, and not just the clothes, are what make a man truly stylish – after all, every sartorial-inclined gent already knows the merits of a good suit:

Personal Style Analysis

Away from the celluloid, Mr Piven’s personal lookbook is a master-class of sleek and sophisticated sartorial excellence.

With an almost continental flair for dressing a blazer up or down and perfectly sculpted facial hair, Piven’s more recent style exploits are up there with the very best:

Highlights from the lookbook above include his green hued suit, which was worn to the Novak Djokovic Foundation inaugural London Gala Dinner. Accessorized with a light blue pocket square and shirt and finished by a pair of artfully half undone double-monks, the outfit presents an excellent example of Piven’s stand-out approach to formal wear.
