These Male Celebrities Prove a Well-Tailored Suit Is Always a Win

Nothing else in men’s fashion compares to a well-tailored suit, both in terms of elegance and confidence-boosting abilities. It’s a simple combination—a jacket and matching pants, in most cases—but it’s a powerful one and it comes to prove that less is indeed more. And we owe it all to a man called George Bryan “Beau” Brummel.

If street style was a thing in 19th century London, then Brummel was going to be its biggest and brightest star. Men looked up to him and copied his style every chance they had. What Brummel did for men’s fashion was to simplify it and introduce the suit as we know it today. He believed that “if people turn to look at you in the street, you are not well dressed, but either too stiff, too tight, or too fashionable.” So he put impeccable tailoring and simple silhouettes first and London followed his lead.

Nowadays, designers, of course, are putting their own spin on this classic ensemble—from Alessandro Michele’s romantic take for Gucci to Kim Jones’s modern interpretation of Dior’s design codes—there is a stylish suit for everyone.

So if you’re in need of some fashion inspo, keep scrolling and check back every day for regular updates on how the most stylish men on the planet are pulling off this fashion staple.
