Who: Harry Styles
Where: Dunkirk Premiere, London
Hot on the Dunkirk PR trail, it seems Harry Styles is keen to match his wardrobe with the glowing feedback on-screen. Thanks to a fit that neither suffocates nor slumps, this double-breasted two-piece clinches a flattering shape in failsafe black. Add sartorialist to that expanding CV, too.
Who: Oliver Proudlock
Where: Wimbledon 2017, London
Now, we’re by no means advocating the Sloane Ranger look, but Oliver Proudlock of Made In Chelsea fame deserves credit for swerving the bright red chinos. At a Wimbledon photo op, the 28-year-old dressed down statement checks with two staples – a plain white tee and minimalist kicks – for a look as modern as it is wearable.
Who: Brendan Fallis
Where: Bally x Swizz Beatz Dinner, New York
Brendan Fallis – DJ-cum-permanent-fashion-week-fixture – is hardly a household name. Though with looks like this Bally all-black ensemble, he’s a ready-made icon-in-waiting: well-chosen shapes, glove-like fits and a foolproof palette. All of which are moves far better-known than his musical career.
Who: Dermot O’Leary
Where: Dunkirk Premiere, London
Your Saturday night wardrobe starts here! Once again, ITV golden boy Dermot O’Leary dropped a masterclass in tailoring at the Dunkirk premiere. This time, in a petrol suit well-anchored with black Oxford shoes and a tie. Frankly Dermot, you deserve better than The X Factor.
Who: Eddie Redmayne
Where: Wimbledon 2017, London
Is there anything more British than in-between Pimms at Wimbledon? Yes, Eddie Redmayne in-between courts (and probably Pimms, too) at Wimbledon. The Danish Girl went country gent in textured tailoring, made all the stronger by a tailoring Grand Slam shot: the peak lapel.
Who: Tom Hardy
Where: Dunkirk Premiere, London
If you’re still suffering Vietnam flashbacks of Tom Hardy’s MySpace account, consider your conscience absolved. The Dunkirk star donned a navy three-piece complete with all the right accessories – contrast tie, contrast collar and a scimitar-shaped tie clip – that shake off the memory of trucker-capped selfies.
Who: Isaac Carew
Where: Aperol Spritz Social Party, London
Isaac Carew: legitimate arsehole. Not only can the model cook so well he’s scored a TV deal, he can also navigate tracksuit bottoms into smarter territory. Linen has long been a polished summer fabric, and can dress up even the most casual of pieces. Isaac one, rest of world nil.
Who: Robbie Rogers
Where: Sports Illustrated Fashionable 50 Party, LA
Footballers stateside don’t rely on permatans or wet look gel. Robbie Rogers, LA Galaxy midfielder, opted instead for an on-trend Cuban collar shirt made memorable by some Matisse-esque artwork. And better yet, the 30-year-old tied the down the statement with black staples elsewhere.
Who: Toby Huntington-Whiteley
Where: Just Eat Food Fest VIP Launch, London
Not just a pretty face, Toby Huntington-Whiteley anticipated the Great British summer’s end in a truly transitional look. By pairing fairly smart trousers with a white T-shirt and bomber, Rosie’s sibling tackled tricky smart-casual territory while skirting the tumbling temperatures. Forecast: very, very cool.
