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: Daniel Radcliffe's Quadruple Hit

This is probably the best time of the year for celebrity style. Everyone's going back to school work and that means a load of premieres and fashion week just before we head into award season.
Daniel Radcliffe has had a brilliant last few days at the Venice Film Festival. The actor looked incredibly sharp in his David Heart blue blazer and black trousers, which he paired with a white striped shirt, black tie and topped off with a killer pair of George Cleverley double monk-strap shoes. He continued his spot-on style choices with a double-chested blue ASOS blazer worn with Band of Outsiders orange chinos and Del Toro shoes. Later that day he changed into a more fashion-forward look with a light blue Club Monaco blazer, white shirt and camo trousers and a Band of Outsiders tie. A few days later he was spotted in Toronto attending the premiere of 'Horns' in a Band of Outsiders black suit paired with a bi-colour Kenzo shirt and Christian Louboutin shoes. It really makes me happy to see shorter dudes understanding what works on them and giving tall hunky actors a run for their money.
It was about time for Eddie Redmayne to have a come-back after his epic 'Les Mis' press tour. The actor chose a stunning Prince of Wales checked Gucci suit to attend the GQ Awards. He let the suit be the protagonist pairing it with a classic white shirt, a micro-print tie, plain white pocket square and classic black Oxford shoes.
Nick Wooster is one of my personal all-time favourite style icons. The fashion director has recently gone for a much shorter hairstyle which makes him look even more badass and he was spotted during one of the kick-off events of NYFW rocking the short suit pants, which he wore with a brilliant printed blazer and white brogues.
Also at NYFW some stylish dudes made their way to the Richard Chai show decked down in his latest collection. Nick Jonas looked effortlessly cool in his double-chested deep green suit, dressed down with a black tee underneath and some questionable yet interesting lace-up leather sneakers. Colton Haynes went for a bigger tailoring statement in a bold checked suit, green shirt and tan leather double monk-straps.

Most Stylish of the Week: Josh Duhamel in Dolce & Gabbana and Jamie Campbell-Bower in Alexander McQueen

After all the crazy One Direction-related action happening this week I am actually quite disappointed that none of the boys have made it onto this week's Most Stylish of the Week – apart form Harry's Burberry moment, which I won't repost. It has been a pretty quiet week otherwise.
Josh Duhamel, which appears on the blog for the first time, looked great in his burgeondark-merlot Dolce & Gabbana one-button notched-lapel suit. He wore it with a teal-blue shirt, blue-and-merlot pocket square and black lace-up shoes. It's the unusual colour combination that keeps it modern.
Even though I feel like this amazing wool double-chested suit belongs in the Fall/Winter season I really liked how it looked on Aaron Paul. Even the baggy fit works for me. I love the casual leather shoes and the micro-print blue tie.
It seems like Jamie Campbell Bower wearing Alexander McQueen is always a recipe for success. The actor wore the super classic black and white tailoring combo in his usual edgy way – this way also with a neck piece instead of a tie and his awesome hair.

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

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

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

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.

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

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: Ryan Gosling in Salvatore Ferragamo

It has been a while since the last Most Stylish of the Week – partly because of laziness but mostly because of my lack of energy over the last few weeks. This time, though, I couldn't pass on the opportunity to post about Ryan Gosling's latest public appearance.
The actor showed up at the premiere of his latest film 'Only God Forgives', which I can't wait to see. Ryan wore a season-appropriate Salvatore Ferragamo look: an off-white suit with a white shirt and brown leather shoes. The lack of tie didn't prevent the outfit from looking absolutely sharp and chic. It's a perfect example of how a light suit should be worn.
Jason Sudeikis, an American GQ favourite, wore a Calvin Klein grey chintz wool one-button notch lapel suit and dress shoes from the Spring 2013 collection. Jason, like Ryan, wore it without a tie and open collar and accessorised it with a cool pair of grey sunglasses and a great quiff.
Kevin Jonas has never been the best dressed of the Jonas Brothers but this week he looked great in a look anyone of us should be careful putting together at home. The singer layered a short-sleeve navy shirt under a printed t-shirt. A great solution for an interesting an manly outfit that must be combined with utter care.
A favourite of mine, Daniel Radcliffe, continues looking great on every occasion. This time he went for a smart but young number with blue chinos paired with a light blue checked button-down shirt and high-top Vans. The last perfect touch was, of course, the tight haircut and light stubble that give the look a contemporary feel.

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

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

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.

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.

Most Stylish of the Weekend: Ryan Reynolds In Gucci, that's all

As of Saturday, the choices I had for MSOTW were a little on the dull side, like a sort of Cannes hangover. Luckily, Gucci came to save the day with their Chime for Change concert in London, which brought a few stylish guys who donned the brand.
My favourite look of the week is Ryan Reynolds blue number. His Gucci leather jacket crowns a very modern and very well-balanced smart casual look in electric blues with tan leather notes from the accessories. It was simply perfect from fit to execution but then again, Ryan always is.
John Legend also went for a Gucci number. It was, in fact, one of my favourite Gucci pieces of the season, which we saw on Mr Hudson back in March. I love this tie-less take with a simple white shirt as it allows the suit to be the protagonist.
After last week's epic Gucci moment, Bradley Copper toned it down a little in Paris looking chic in a Vivienne Westwood checked suit, which he wore with his versatile leather Oxford shoes.

Even though in his head Orlando Bloom thinks he looks ace all the time, outside of his head we see him a more of a slob dresser (who wears Rick Owens and Balenciaga). But the guy cleans up well. For his Cannes appearance the actor rocked a skinny-lapelled tux paired with a white shirt and bow tie. This isn't a ground-breaking style option but seeing as most guys always go for black and white I found it modern and refreshing.
Aaron Paul got married last week and looked great in his midnight blue tux (by Prada?) with black silk details. I wouldn't have gone for a colour like this for a non-evening event but, hey, it's nice to see a man not sticking to the boring and traditional.
I have never had anything against dreadlocks but some people look better without them. Such is the case of Glee's Samuel Larsen. He had been rocking the hairstyle for quite some time so I was happy to see him try something completely new channelling a bit of his inner hypster and it works!
I would never in a million years wearn an outfit like this but I am not Brad Pitt (in case you were wondering). The actor went for his usual effortless all-black look at the London premiere of 'World War Z'. his hair is longer, the goatee greyer and the sunglasses shinier. No one else in the world can pull this off. Period.

Most Stylish of the Week: Bromance in Cannes

This year's Cannes Film Festival is the gift that keeps on giving. I feel like it gets longer every year but if that means we get to enjoy menswear moments like these they can make it a month long, as far as I'm concerned.
Exactly a week ago Garrett Hedlund and Justin Timberlake hit the red carpet for the 'Inside Llewyn Davis' premiere. The pair seemed to be enjoying each others company. Or perhaps they were just laughing at the rest of us because we'll never be able to look that good... Garrett wore a beautiful combination of midnight blue and black (by Prada?), which I will never tire of saying is the most elegant eveningwear recipe. Timberlake looked his usual sharp self in a classic black suit and skinny bow tie, which he topped off with my favourite Lanvin flower pin. Earlier that day Justin posed at the arrivals photocall in a chic double-chested knit blazer worn with a gingham shirt and beige chinos.
Zachary Quinto made the most perfect choice when he went for his head-to-toe Alexander McQueen look this week. He wore a beautiful satin jacquard rever double breasted tuxedo accessorised with a skull-patterned silk bow tie and black leather monk strap shoes.
Grooming mistake aside, Bradley Cooper's orange suit moment was up there with the sartorial epic-ness of Ryan Gosling or Robert Pattinson. The custom-made suit signed by Gucci – who else? – looked stunning paired with a pale blue shirt and tan leather Oxford shoes. If only you had done your hair, Bradley...



Funnily enough, Bill Skarsgård just happened to make an appearance at Cannes the week I started watching 'Hemlock Grove'. The actor looked incredibly cool first in a dark evening outfit that fit him like a glove and later in a more casual take wearing the same blazer over layered t-shirts channeling a bit of Roman Godfrey.
James Franco can get away with things us mortals wouldn't dare of trying – namely these mirrored gangsta shades and the just-out-of-bed hairstyle. The actor looked super cool pairing these with a blue Gucci look perfect for spring. I really wish he would undo that second button on his blazer, though...
After realising that perhaps just being George Clooney wasn't enough to look stylish all the time the actor has been making some really great choices as of late. His usual perfect-fitting grey suit look becomes iconic here with his grey moustache and 60's tortoiseshell sunglasses.

Most Stylish of the Week: Hit after Hit!

What an amazing week! Thanks to the Cannes Film Festival and The CW Upfront we have seen some of the best fashion moments of the month.
Chris Pine, who has no need of either event, looked his usual awesome self in a Ralph Lauren Purple Label navy double breasted suit, which he very aptly accessorised with a patterned pocket square and tie. The latter's peach hue tied the outfit together paired up with the tan leather shoes.
My current style crush Austin Butler blew everyone's socks off (his own included) at the CW Upfront event. He wore a cropped pair of flecked trousers with a skinny-lapelled tux blazer over a casual henley and battered brown leather shoes. He topped it off with a pair of brilliant round specs and his usual god-like hair.
I didn't expect Justin Timberlake to make an appearance at Cannes but was happy to see him rocking a super chic ensemble in a khaki and beige colour palette. The key item was his great Belstaff oversixed cropped trench coat and his new Michael Pitt-inspired haircut.
Jamie Redknapp looked as if he had been born in his Thom Sweeney tuxedo. The ex-footballer showed everyone all the good things a bespoke suit can do for a man.
Another sportsman, Thom Evans, attended this week's Gatsby screening in London in a very dapper ensemble. His Bespoke HQ Prince of Wales double-chested suit was excellently accessorised with a stripped bow tie and blue suede slippers also by Bespoke HQ.

Wilson Bethel's olive green Gant Rugger suit was a breath of fresh air on the CW Upfront red carpet. I do admire a guy who understands the power of colour when it comes to tailoring. His tie was a bit too skinny for my taste but the tan leather belt and shoes were bang-on.
Always a rockstar dresser, Justin Theroux looked exceptional this week in a pair of skinny biker denim (by Bailmain?), which he wisely paired with a simple white tee, his signature black boots and a killer khaki varsity jacket.
Joel Edgerton debuts on the MSOTW with a double hit. The actor first landed in Cannes looking suave in an off-white Salvatore Ferragamo suit with peak lapels – degradé Way Farers and printed pocket square right on the note – and proceeded to look just as great the same evening in a 3-piece tux with velvet details also by Ferragamo.

Most Stylish of the Week: Basically just Chris Pine Looking Ace

Once again, I am sorry for the lateness of the post. A great weekend culminated with some late-night last-minute work on Sunday night to kick off the week early.
In any case, Chris Pine pretty much dominated the week in terms of style. He is one of those celebrity guys who I feel like I would get along with – we could 'hang' as they say. His biggest hit of the past 7 days was his super sharp pin stripe number by Ralph Lauren. I must admit pin stripe, especially the wide kind, is not a go-to pattern of mine but here it brings back a bit of flavour first from the 20's and then from the 50's, which paired with the modern micro polka dot tie and the immaculate cut of the pieces makes for quite a unique vision.
Pine's second best look was also spot-on and mixed a classic double-breasted grey suit with contemporary elements – the very on-trend dashes of orange and perfect tan leather Oxford shoes.
Also this week Luke Evans wore a three-piece suit with a very fitting slim silhouette made interesting with a burgundy traditional tie and matching pocket square. The Welshman knew how to make the most of his bespoke number by Thom Sweeney.

Bringing back the Best Grooming of the Week, it's back to Chris Pine. The actor went for my favourite grooming combo of all time – a slightly scruffy beard and tidy gelled hair, which suited him perfectly and brought out his killer blue eyes. Yes, even I can't get over those.

Most Stylish of the Week: Met Gala 2013 Edition

This year's Met Gala promised to be an interesting one, what with the punk theme and all. I am quite glad I don't blog about womenswear these days because, truth to be told, the list of misses is much longer than that of hits. It was, however, a great night for menswear. Whether it the guys went for classic looks or for a daring one adhering to the theme, a lot of them were simply spotless.
Nicholas Hoult was my absolute winner, his midnight blue moiré shawl collar tuxedo jacket by Tom Ford was chic, young and was cut to perfection. I've been raving about this guy for months and, if you were still doubting, this is why.
Matthew Mosshart doesn't tend to get a lot of attention, which is usually directed to his always fatally dressed girlfriend Kelly Osbourne. Last night, the model went for a super cool take on an evening suit with a midnight blue-trimmed black double-breasted jacket and matching midnight blue trousers. The perfect detail was the silk bow replacing a classic bowtie.
Hamish Bowles has always been one of the most imacuately dressed gentlemen in the industry. He has an extraordinary ability to stay classic and elegant yet daring and witty. He donned an off-the-charts Tom Ford tux jacket embroidered with safety pins and mother-of-pearl buttons. He also went for a bit of man-liner and a black manicure, which not only admire but applaud.



Pharell Williams chose Lanvin once again. His stunning patterned suit in a classic shape was enough to stand out but the slight eye-shadow and gold ring made the look even more memorable.
Another guy who I always admire for his pushing the (fashion) envelope is Jamie Campbell Bower. The British actor wore a Moschino tuxedo with safety pin embellished collar and cummerbund and black and white spectator shoes. To top it all off, he went for a sick (I've always wanted to use that expression) and hair style and a nose ring very apt for the theme.
It wouldn't be a great fashion event without Eddie Redmayne, who wore Dior Homme last night. The actor looks as slick as he does comfortable in a tux. Midnight blue is a favourite choice of mine (have I eve mentioned it?) and Eddie wears it best!
Armie Hammer chose to wear Ralph Lauren. His ivory dinner jacket was a breath of fresh air amongst the other dark choices. I would have just loved to maybe see more of a punk note on him. Though, truth to be told, he did wear skull and crossbones cufflinks.
Jamie Lannister – I mean, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau wore a Brunello Cucinelli tux also in midnight blue. His was a more traditional take on the evening suit but there is something about the old-school part-in hairstyle and untidy bowtie that makes it look just right for me.
Dane DeHaan never gets enough credit for his off-beat fashion choices. The new Harry Osborn wore an all-black Prada suit. His odd haircut, the studded silk tie and the tasselled loafers are as unexpected on his as they're cool.

Most Stylish of the Week: All about Ermenegildo Zegna

After last week's strict editing, I decided to indulge myself for today's post and only cut down the list of most stylish guys down to nine.
It was definitely a week monopolised by the great style of Ermenegildo Zegna. Daniel Henney, Chris Hemsworth and Tyler Atkins were in Sidney for Ermenegildo Zegna's Wool Trophey, which culminated in a big fashion show. All three guys trusted the Italian house to dress them in their finest fashion, which resulted in three superb fashion moments, all in their own particular style. My favourite, I must admit, was Aitken's clay number. The loose fit, printed shirt and brown accessories matched his tan and wavy blond hair perfectly – never lose the surfer dude in you, even in a suit.
Somewhere else in the world, Chris Pine also chose Ermenegildo Zegna to look classic and sharp during his press tour. This time the grey number with a slight pinstripe was paired with a classic white shirts, a subtly trendy striped tie and tan leather shoes, which I always love with a grey suit.

I tend to have a slightly odd reaction to Tom Hiddleston's looks. I think he is one of the most effortlessly elegant actors around and he always looks spotless but I often hope for something new. This week he gave us exactly that in this checked wool silk blend suit by Giorgio Armani. He paired it with a tie in the same colour palette and a white shirt. I personally love the details of the jacket – split lapel, one button.
Johannes Huebl doesn't only go out with one of the most attractive and stylish women in fashion but he also looks right on the money all the time. This week he was in Germany celebrating the opening of the latest Louis Vuitton store. The model wore a black double-chested number from the French house, which he perfectly accessorised with some blue and lilac notes on his tie and pocket square and a pair of super cool suede brown boots.
I'm happy to finally have Darren Criss on this post because his character in Glee is one of the most stylish guys on TV but his personal style tends to be a bit overdone. This week he looked great in a pair of chinos worn with a white shirt. I love the light safari jacket to go with it, which gives it a sportswear touch in contrast with the more sophisticated leather belt and penny loafers.
Sebastian Stan probably didn't care about what he was wearing, which is why he looked so cool. Few guys could pull off a sheer jersey top, which here looks great with the relaxed silhouette of the jacket. It would have been just perfect had the jeans been taken up a few inches on the bottom.
Even though this tuxedo look is getting a bit old by now Justin Timberlake in Tom Ford continues to be a great equation. I love the dotted pattern of the jacket and the more relaxed hair. And this might just be me, but a bowtie can be slouchy.

Most Stylish of the Week: Suited up at CinemaCon

It has also been hard this week to cut the best looks down to six. I also have no idea why I've decided to only have six guys on the Most Stylish of the Week post...
Zachary Quinto, who usually overdoes colour or accessories when he dresses for the red carpet looked sharp and cool and ready for spring at CinemaCon. His rolled-up red suit trousers were paired up with suede black lace-ups and a muted checked shirt to balance out the standout colour. My favourite touch was the black and white belt, which made the look a bit dressier and kept it interesting.
It's no secret how big a man-crush I have on Joseph Gordon-Levitt. He always looks great. In this occasion he wore a grey checked Prada suit with a micro-print burgundy tie, which is a nice break from his usual blue suit. I would only complain about the jacket sleeves, the shirt must always pop out.
Chris Pine has been wearing impressively nice outfits as of late. His latest hit was the dark checked suit he wore to CinemaCon. He paired the double-breasted Louis Vuitton number with a striped shirt and shiny blue tie. This is a great example of how an excellent fit is always the best accessory.
Looking at pictures of Zac Efron every week makes me remember every week how much I need to start going to the gym... The actor just doesn't get it wrong. This week he went for a casual micro-printed degradé blue shirt paired with slim jeans and brown suede lace-ups, which he topped off with his signature Persol sunglasses.
At first glance, Logan Lerman's look doesn't seem like anything out of the ordinary but his cast and undone tie are to blame for this lack of attention. His blue suit, worm with a white shirt and printed tie is a winning combination. The best part of the look are actually the leather and suede blue shoes, which add texture and tie it all together.
Bill Skarsgard, the youngest of the talented-and-good-looking Viking family, opted for an unexpected olive green double-breasted suit worn with a grey shirt and dark grey tie. I love the combination of colours and the fit, which is perfect. I only wish those shirt buttons disappeared.

Most Stylish of the Week: Coachella & the MTV Movie Awards

A little later than promised, but here is the post! It has been a great week for menswear style. So good, in fact, that it's taken me a while to edit down the options to just six.
Zac Efron makes an appearance again in almost the same outfit as last week. I wouldn't normally talk about the same look twice but I love how last week's school boy outfit has been upgraded with the blue blazer. Everything fits perfectly and even the flip flops add a cool Ivy League vibe to the otherwise smart look.
At the MTV Movie Awards Eddie Redmayne beat everyone on the red carpet. His head-to-toe All Saints look was manly, cool, young and quite a different vibe from what we're used to seeing from Eddie. And you can shop it all – jacket here, t-shirt here, denim shirt here and boots here.
Chris Pine was also present at the awards and gave a lesson in smart casual. He wore cropped blue suit trousers with a beautiful blue linen Mandarin collar shirt and suede navy lace-ups.
Over at Coachella, Elijah Wood went for a classic Spring look with his Lacoste grey flecked polo shirt, which he wore with dark jeans and dust dessert boots. He topped off the look with a killer pair of mirrored sunglasses like the ones I posted about recently.
Justin Chatwin was also at the music festival, stopping by the H&M section. As usual, he got the fit just right and I believe grey jeans and a denim shirt are always a winning combo. I might just have worn a different, less tough, pair of shoes.
Robert Downey Jr definitely marches to the beat of his own drum. The actor decided to give the locals a taste of their own style in German Lederhosen. Normally, I would have found this costume-y and borderline ridiculous but on Downey Jr is a big big hit – especially from the waist up!

Most Stylish of the Week: Zac Efron, Penn Badgley & Shia LeBeouf

JustJared

Either this past week has been terribly quiet in the menswear department or I am useless at finding images online. One way or another, this post is not as exciting as I would've liked it to be.
Zac Efron's appearance on the post is a bit of a cheat because he hasn't dressed himself as he's in the set of his latest film. But seeing that most celebrities get dressed, to a certain extent, by someone else I thought it would be okay. The proportions of this look couldn't be more perfect. I love the printed tie worn with the button-down shirt but my favourite part of the look are the penny loafers. Worn sock-less and with slightly cropped trousers they're the chicest option for the spring, specially if you get to play around with casual Friday at work.
Ever since wrapping up Gossip Girl Penn Badgley has taken scruffy to a whole new level way past chic. This week he seems to have put an end of his lack of personal hygiene and married the scruffy vibe with a relaxed yet cool look. I love the touch of the tuxedo jacket worn over the loose yellow tee and the brown Oxford shoes. Red circles on your eyes are never a good touch, though.
If you scroll down to forget about Shia LeBeouf's out of control facial hair his Prada suit and polo shirt make for a knock-out outfit. The fit of the suit if perfect and the slight shine and dash of burgundy of the polo shirt bring in a dash of refined sportswear. And the cast? Well, I'm more of a white clay and and crutches kind of man, but whatever floats his boat.
