Dress Like A Man: Looks From Four Famous Dudes

A large part of having a sense of style comes from paying attention to what’s going on around you. I get many ideas for what I want to wear from people in film and music. But since my financial resources have limits and I lack a personal stylist, I find ways to recreate what I see on a non-rich-and-famous budget. Here are looks from four famous dudes that you can achieve without having to take out a second mortgage. 


Tom Hardy

British actor Tom Hardy is always impeccably dressed and well-groomed. The Mad Max: Fury Road star is seen here defying typical movie-premiere black with a two-button navy suit by Alexander McQueen and a striking navy trench. That suit alone will run you more than the price of three round-trip airline tickets from Boston to London. Here’s how to look like Mr. Hardy for the price of only one:

  1. Calvin Klein X Fit Ultra Slim Navy Suit - $650 (40% off at Calvin Klein right now!)
  2. Tallia Slim-Fit Trench Coat - $215
  3. H&M white cotton shirt and textured black tie - $39.99 and $12.99

Justin Theroux

Mr. Jennifer Aniston and star of HBO’s new hit series, The Leftovers, is seen here in a sleek, military-inspired look that is perfect for an afternoon walk around the city with a beautiful woman on your arm. Bomber jackets are big right now, and military-style is a good way to inject some utilitarian chic into your wardrobe. Your local army-navy surplus can be a very wallet-friendly option, as are all of these pieces:

  1. Alpha Industries MA-1 Slim-Fit Flight Jacket - $140
  2. Nudie Jeans Lean Dean Dry Deep Dark - $185
  3. River Island black distressed lace-up military boots - $140
  4. Ray-Ban Metal Aviator Sunglasses - $150


Kanye West

Kanye doesn’t look very happy, but he should be - because he looks great in that Tom Ford cocktail jacket! A velvet cocktail jacket in the middle of the afternoon? Yes, especially when paired with slim jeans and a simple pair of white sneakers. Paying as much as a used economy car for it? Probably not. Copy Kayne with these more budget friendly picks:

  1. Topman Noose and Monkey Green Velvet Blazer - $250
  2. 5620 G-Star Elwood 3D Super Slim Jeans Dark Aged - $160
  3. Vans Canvas Old Skool in true white - $50

 

 


Alex Turner

When you’re young, talented, handsome and slim with a great head of hair, you can pretty much wear whatever you want. British rocker Alex Turner of Arctic Monkeys embodies this sartorial joie de vivre. Easily one of the best-dressed men in music, Mr. Turner’s style is ever-changing and effortlessly cool. The leather jacket is a rock ’n’ roll staple, but as a vegan wanna-be, I shy away from leather where possible. So here’s a cruelty-free option that will save a cow while saving you money:

  1. River Island Faux Leather Jacket - $130
  2. Nudie Jeans Tube Tom Skinny Fit Organic Black - $160
  3. Topman White Stretch Skinny Short Sleeve Smart Shirt - $45.00
  4. Topman Black Chelsea Boots - $80
