Who: Amir Khan
Where: Pride Of Britain Awards 2016, London
We’ve long praised less Eurocentric options for black tie, and here Amir Khan proves that an alternative to a tried-and-trusted tux is often more impactful. The jacket’s rich in both shade and texture, while the red button detailing adds a subtle but memorable contrast.

Who: Andrew Garfield
Where: Jimmy Kimmel Live, LA

Who: Ben Foden

Who: Jesse Metcalfe
Where: amfAR’s Inspiration Gala, LA

Who: Steven Yeun
Where: ‘Talking Dead’ At Hollywood Forever, LA
Steven Yeun may have croaked in The Walking Dead’s last instalment, but his style is alive and well. Here, the woollen two-piece adds texture to an otherwise forgettable look, and the boots provide a workwear anchor. Dead on.
