Most Stylish of the Week: Colour vs. Black & White

After my forced blogging break, I though it was about time to get the Most Stylish of the Week back. This is a busy time of the year for events – Fashion Week included – and there is plenty of good menswear style to choose from.
One of my favourites this week is Zachary Quinto, who finally has realised that making a statement is not about being loud. His grey and blue checked suit becomes the centre-point of his look thanks to the quiet black shirt and shoes. This and a perfect fit make for a killer outfit.
André Saraiva couldn't be more in his element in Paris. I always love how he masterly brings together formal elements – the DC blazer – with his battered boots, and the pop of colour jumper that brings out the colour splashes on his awesome jeans.
Nailing the day-time suit this week is Adam Scott, who paired his sandy suit with toe-cap tan leather lace-up and kept his look interesting with a micro-check shirt  and blue knit tie. The soft colours and texture complimented the suit without being loud. I am just not too keen on these tiny-ass button-down collars...
Chuck Bass seems to have had a comeback this week thanks to Ed Westwick's merlot Zegna suit. The accessorising here keeps quiet not to overpower the statement-coloured suit. The brown tie is the perfect on-trend finishing touch.
At first I wasn't sure about Jake Gyllenhaal's fixation with wearing the same battered boots everywhere he went. And yet they look so cool with his classic grey number. The knit tie adds an interesting texture contrast and the effect of the boots simply makes it all feel fresh.
Designer Kenzo Takada made it look so easy to be effortlessly chic. His black suit stayed formal but cool thanks to his lightweight grey cardi worn over the tie-less white shirt. I have a feeling that a (glowing) tan and grey lock of hair none of this would work as well.
It was nice to see Joseph Gordon-Levitt killing it in something other than a suit. The vintage sneakers are the best compliment to his great geometric combo of gingham shirt and checked jumper.
technically speaking there is nothing out of the ordinary about Stephen Dorff's classic number. It is the perfect fit and the subtle note of the midnight blue tie that bring it home.

Most Stylish of the Week: The CFDA & Tony Awards

This week's post would have almost solely been about the CFDA Awards had I not been late in posting. When I woke up this morning I found a few extra great looks from the Tony Awards last night as well as a few unusual suspects who popped here and there.
Gabe Saporta, Thom Browne (in himself), Zachary Quinto (in Todd Snyder) and Scott Sternbeg (in himself, aka: Band of Outsiders) were the most dapper guys at the event. Funnily enough, all of them only used grey, black and white, which proved once again how simplicity and a good cut are all a man ever needs.
Over at the Tonys Jack Gyllenhaal stole the show, without a doubt. The actor finally stopped looking scruffy and he did so in a classic Tom Ford tux. I am not going to lie, I can't remember anyone ever looking this good in Tom Ford. Ever.
Darren Criss' black outfit was also a winner. I am not normally keen on the black-on-black evening look but here is looks on-point and chic. Alas, the hairstyle is borderline teenage skater and how many times have I emphasised the importance of a good haircut?
Someone who pretty much always rocks is Joseph Gordon-Levitt. He made an appearance at last week's Guy's Choice Awards and I was happy to see him in a light suit by Gant Rugger. The light blue looked chic and classic with the white shirt and the yellow polka dot black tie tied everything together making it interesting.

And now, for a few faces that don't normally appear around here... Cory Monteith, who makes his second appearance on Fashion, Frankly, is looking better than ever after his rehab getaway. The actor looked sharp in a grey suit and tie, which looked young and fresh thanks to the white printed shirt.
Colour was the key point of Patrick Dempsey's airport outfit. His maroon blazer was an understated statement worn over a blue t-shirt and jeans and paired with the Chelsea boots this was a winning casual look.
You might recognise Billy Magnussen from Boardwalk Empire, where he rocked an amazing haircut. The actor attended one of this weekend's pre-Tonys parties in an outfit that, while a little costum-y and only apt for the outdoors, I absolutely loved. It's like tough boy-scout meets adventurous aristocrat.
