Most Stylish of the Week: A Whole lot of Great Tailoring

MSOTW18Aug

As you will notice scrolling down, it has been a great week for menswear but mostly in terms of tailoring. It's always interesting to see how different people approach it and play with the different elements that go with it.
Jason Sudeikis continued to look sharp this week in a very traditional-fitting blue suit with equally traditional accessories. It was almost like a look Obama would wear but it looked better on Sudeikis.
In a slim-fit grey Saint Laurent suit, James Marsden went for a more modern approach. He only used black, white and grey but the fact that he balanced the lack of tie with a waistcoat contrasting the jacket was a great move.
I am always interested to see what Jamie Campbell Bower wears because he gives clothes a very personal spin. This week he did it twice. The first, a three-piece blue mohair-blend Alexander McQueen suit (buy it here: jacket, trousers, waistcoat). The second, an oxblood McQ suit worn with a shirt and pocket square in the same tones and printed detailing (buy it here: jacket, trousers).
Darren Criss hosted the Teen Choice Awards last weekend and he turned up on the red carpet in a look that no teen could pull off. The deep green Emporio Armani suit was paired with a light blue shirt and deep blue tie and Christian Louboutin 'Bruno Orlato' shoes.

Zachary Quinto and Chris Pine both got it right at the Japanese premiere of 'Star Trek Into Darkness'. Zachary in a light pinstripe blue suit worn with a modern striped knit tie of burgundy tones and Chris in a more daring checked suit with brown accessory notes very much on trend. The best of both looks are the perfectly cropped suit trousers.
At 'The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones' premiere Robert Sheehan really put it out there with his paisley print Dent da Man suit. Just like his co-star Jamie Campbell Bower, Sheehan opted for a collar accessory rather than a tie. Don't try it at home.
After trying a few different things during his 'Bling Ring' press tour, Israel Broussard has found a compromise between edgy and elegant. His Viktor & Rolf grey look brought a classic silhouette and texture to a look that was made modern by the embellished white shirt.
Dev Patel brings the only casual hit of the week. The actor was seen at LAX in a pair of faded pink jeans, which he wore with a navy tee and the coolest quilted jacket.

Most Stylish of the Week: Ashton Kutcher's & Jason Sudeikis Double Hit

MSOTW11Aug

After last week's great week in style I was afraid this past one would be much slower. But I couldn't have been more wrong.
I am yet to be convinced of Ashton Kutcher's skills in his portrayal of Steve Jobs but if there's one thing the actor's got down is his style. My favourite of his two best looks this week is a navy Rag & Bone suit, which he wore with a Pickwick & Weller white t-shirt half tucked in. These alone would have been a great call so when you add a printed pocket square, orange belt and tan lace-ups the result is what is (possibly) the best look of the week. A few days earlier Ashton had rung the New York Stock Exchange bell in a Burberry number. I loved the maroon suit, which looked classic but very much stylish paired with a lavender shirt and a striped tie that tied together both colours perfectly.
I hope I can be as sharp and cool as Jason Sudeikis when I grow up. This week the actor made a few appearances around NYC. The first, in a great casual-and-smart look I couldn't identify more with. He gave it his own personal spin with a pair of baby blue 'Do The Right Thing' Air Jordan 3 retro sneakers. Day later he dropped by the Jay Leno show and nailed a more classic tailored look. I am specially keen on the tie clip and the socks.
James Marsden seems to be on a roll. This week he wore a Dolce & Gabbana brown suit with a micro print contrast shirt. I think the fit of the trousers is simply perfect, though I wish he would have gone for more interesting accessories.
Debuting this week on the Most Stylish of the Week is Liev Schreiber. The actor attended the premiere of 'The Butler' in a navy suit cut with absolute precision for his shape. I like the fact that he avoided wearing a tie and how he used tan leather accessories. If you are going to go for such a classic look you better make sure everything fits like a glove.
Gabriel Mann always dresses well for his public appearances and, what's most important, he tries different things. I wouldn't say this look is a go-to for anyone but it works great on him. The key to pulling off a bow-tie in a subtle way is to make sure the colour isn't loud and the shape never reaches your jacket's lapels.

Most Stylish of the Week: Classic Tailoring with a Twist

MSOTW5Aug

It looks like quite a few celebrities felt very sartorially inspired last week so I was spoilt for choice when putting together this Most Stylish of the Week post.
Dave Franco, who is shorter but much more stylish than his older brother James, looked effortlessly cool in a classic grey two-button suit, which he wore with a plaid button down shirt and tan leather lace-up shoes.
It's nice to see Justin Theroux out of his signature jeans-and-white-tee look. He, too, introduced a cool twist to his otherwise conservative dark grey suit by means of red suspenders and matching shoe laces, which have the outfit a vintage vibe.
Darren Criss' latest look is one of my favourite ones we've seen from him. We have all seen it before – off-white chinos, navy blazer and yellow shirt. And yet it feels fresh and young. Perhaps thanks to the great cut of the Gant Rugger madras shirt? Probably.
Sam Claflin, who often rocks unexpected ensembles on the red carpet, looks great in his latest magazine editorial. His edgy dyed hair gives the double-chested suit and polo-neck jumper such a fresh energy.
I have really missed Eddie Redmayne these past few months. Even though he is not making as big an effort as he had during his Les Mis press tour he stilled looked awesome in his chambray suit, which he wore with all-blue accessories.
Logan Lerman been appearing on these posts quite consistently because he simply can do no wrong. He wears his suits with the ease of someone who's been doing it for decades and I love how the slightly undone tie has become sort of his signature touch.
Even though it's not really noticeable in the picture, Kit Harington's micro-print suit was a hit on its own. It looks good with the dark blue shirt and black tie but it would have really been a statement with an oxford blue shirt or anything more season appropriate. I am, however, still loving the double monk-strap shoes we already saw him rock a few weeks back.
In a perfectly cut plaid Dior Homme James Marsden brought back a bit of the 60's flavour he clearly picked up from his experience acting on 'Hairspray'. Everything else was kept simple to stop the look from being loud.
