Most Stylish of the Week: Armie Hammer's Double Hit

BDOTW28July

It might all be thanks to his stylist but Armie Hammer is one of the few men in the spotlight who seems to care about fashion. He always looks occasion-approriate, elegant and manly and he does so without being repetitive and abusing the classic combo of dark suit and light shirt. This week he started out strong in a custom-made red Gucci suit, which he wore with a white shirt and brown tie. He could have only been more unorthodox had he worn light shoes. It's hard to pull of a colour like this and it's undeniable that Armie absolutely rocked it. Later on in the week he went for a more subtle choice in a navy Ralph Lauren Black Label suit paired with a light blue shirt featuring a white collar, a striped green tie and a polka dot pocket square. This was a lesson on how to do classic tailoring using accessories to give it personality.
If, like me, you're a fan of 'Falling Skies' you will recognise Drew Roy from playing Hal Mason in the TV show. The actor attended an event this week in a blue suit worn with an oxford blue shirt and grey suede brogues. Other than the great fit, this look works because it's smart but relaxed, mostly thanks to the undone shirt and unexpected shoe choice.
It's nice to see Joe Jonas ditching the jeans and t-shirt LA look for a much more elegant and cooler outfit to take his girlfriend for dinner. The singer donned a dark chambray suit worn with a classic black shirt and black sneakers, for a casual touch.
Logan Lerman is currently promoting his latest film. For his stop at Giffoni Film Festival the actor wore a lightweight striped knit jumper with navy chinos and deck shoes. He always looks on-point without a trace of effort.
In abstract, tattooed arms, a grown un-groomed beard and a shirt-sleeved shirt is no one's go-to look for the summer. And somehow all of these elements combined look pretty damn cool on Adam Levine. I am especially loving the printed shirt – cuban shirt, anyone? – which mainly works thanks to the scruffy facial hair that adds a tough vibe.

Most Stylish of the Week: How to do Tailoring in the Summer

MSOTW30June

Despite Paris Fashion Week being in full blast, it was a slow week for menswear. Thankfully, Johnny Depp and Lapo Elkann decided to make appearances, which kept the week interesting.
I am such a big fan of Gabriel Mann's off-screen style. He does preppy like a master. This week he went for a casual look pairing a light chambray blazer with a subtle turquoise button-down shirt, white shorts (perfect length), and striped slip-ons. This is what you should be wearing to summer parties.
Patrick Schwartzenegger always looks good off-duty but it's nice to see he's also got the red carpet under control. Even though it's not the most original of looks, his grey suit and tie-less done-up shirt look modern and age-appropriate.
With his second hit in a row, Johnny Depp rocked a Ralph Lauren pinstripe double-breasted suit in brown (!), which he wore with an open collar white shirt and his usual paraphernalia as accessories. I am not too keen on the length of the trousers but Depp doesn't play by the rules so it works.
Lapo Elkann made two appearances this week – both for Gucci. The entrepreneur and style icon first wore an olive green double-breasted number with orange notes and incredible shoes to the Gucci show. He was then spotted in a slick beige look with an open collar white shirt which gave it vintage vibes.
King of rock-and-roll style Justin Theroux looked his usual fly self in an all black outfit with a buttoned up black polo shirt, black skinny jeans and his signature battered boots and classic aviators.
Also with his second hit in a row, Armie Hammer makes the cut in a chambray Gant suit. The look was modern and cool and was finished off with Ray Ban WayFarers, a spread collar shirt, Tom Ford knit tie and printed pocket square.

Most Stylish of the Week: American Vs. British

MSOTW24June

I was close to skipping this week's Most Stylish of the Week again because of fashion week but I thought I couldn't deprive you from the weekly dose of celebrity style for much longer... ha!
We can expect some great fashion moments from the press tour of 'The Lone Ranger', which kicked off this weekend. Armie Hammer, who usually looks great but a tad too conventional for my taste, stepped out of the box in a beautiful pale pink Tom Ford linen suit worn with a white shirt and Ford's signature black knit tie.The cut is classic but right on the money and the colour is unexpected but elegant with a dash of preppy.
Also at the premiere was Johnny Depp, who is no stranger to best dressed lists. While I would have loved him to alter his trousers, I must admit no one could have ever rocked this Ralph Lauren navy pin stripe three-piece suit like him. The secret was in the native American accessorising, which was in line with the film and added Depp's personal touch.
It seems like Darren Criss has found his style mojo – finally! Or perhaps this is what an Emporio Armani suit does to a stylish man. All of the pieces fit him like a glove, now we just need him taken to the barber shop for some much-needed grooming makeover.

Meanwhile, in China, David Beckham went for a classic grey suit, which he kept looking modern with a square micro-print slim tie and his usual perfect hair – hence why he also deserves to be the best groomed of the week!
Even though David Gandy rarely departs with his signature look of slim double-chested blazer and  contrast trousers I must admit he has been making some brilliant combinations in the past few weeks. One of his latest hits was this muted brown jacket worn over a low crew neck tee, navy chinos and battered suede boots.
Daniel Radcliffe has been featured on the Most Stylish of the Week almost as many times as Beckham, which is to say a lot. The actor knows the importance of well-fitting tailoring, specially if (like me) you're not gifted with a tall body. His modern grey suit looked fantastic with the dressed down t-shirt and the yellow pop of colour of the shocks. Topping it off (literally) was his sharp haircut.
