Most Stylish of the Week: Suited up at CinemaCon

MSOTW22Apr1

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: Zac Efron does it again

I haven't done a Most Stylish of the Week post for a while now, which is quite frustrating because I save tons of pictures every week to then edit but just haven't got around to it... And now here I am, back with a really unoriginal choice. I honestly don't know at which point Zac Efron went from being a teenage heartthrob to a man's style icon, to some extent. Maybe if I get buff the same will happen to me?
This week's look comes from the Rock of Ages premiere in LA. Efron is not even part of the cast but, hey, why not steal the spotlight from his less stylishly gifted fellow actors? It was actually a great occasion to see a more relaxed look from Z-boy, who has been wearing a lot of tailoring lately. He wore a pair of rolled up charcoal chinos with a loose micro-flower print blue shirt. The best, of course, were the accessories – a pair or royal blue suede shoes by D&G, the Persol 714 sunglasses (a classic) and Cartier's gold Love bracelet.
This look is a 10/10 by anyone's standards. If it's not, you've got a problem.

They're Fly: How to bring it in the summer

Let's face it, it's hard for a man to dress in the summer. Keeping cool is key but that, in therms of male clothing, reduces garment options down to two pieces: trousers and top. It's quite a challenge to look fashionable everyday when all you have to play with are two pieces.
Ryan Kwanten's, Ryan Gosling's and Ed Westwick's looks are great examples of how to do this. It's a good idea to add a pattern —stripes, plaid, maritime, even florals— that has to be subtle. Be careful with vests (or wife-beaters) because only men with guns (i.e. Gosling) can pull those off and not look like twats.
Trousers, if not shorts, should be light chinos, slightly looser than you'd wear them in the winter and rolled up (this keeps you cool in more than one way).
Sunglasses and belts are a lot more important in the summer because they say something about who you are. Ray-Ban's are always a safe bet but I personally recommend a classic pair or Persol's or Oliver Peoples'. They have to be a classic shape that goes well with everything but they must have an edge as well, not to be boring.
