The Biggest Menswear Looks You Missed This Week

Our Friday hat tip to the men who tried – and won – in the style stakes this week.

The tux is officially broken. In a good way. Henry Golding deconstructed the once cookie cutter black tie template into something more casual, and as a result, much cooler.

James Norton is feeling good. Very good, in fact, with Ralph Lauren's Purple Label adding a tonal and touchy finish in a velvet suit.

We want his coat and we want his sunglasses and we want his roll-neck and we want his boots. We want all of it, and Matthew McConaughey has us seeing positively green.

Little Women sees Timothée Chalamet playing a love interest in a conflicted 1860s America. Real life sees Timothée Chalamet playing a love interest in 2019 wearing all the best bits of a conflicted 1860s America (and you can thank Alexander McQueen).

Tyler, the wise detective of Baker Street. Just in LA.

Filmstar proper Willem Dafoe is leading the charge once more on Hollywood's big blackout: another perfect fit in an all-black shade.

Big mob boss suits, all in black, are best paired with gruelling gym regimes: a duo Aaron Taylor-Johnson put to frightening effect on the red carpet. Capisce?

Like Dev Patel, raise a glass of shiraz to your Christmas two-piece. Oh, and lose the tie. Cheers.

Darkness approaches. The night closes in. The new crown prince of shadows has been anointed, and his name is Earl Cave, in a gloriously textured Dunhill two-piece.

For all the stiff upper lips he displays in The Crown, Josh O'Connor gets fluid IRL in a lovely bit of Loewe.

'Magnificent,' says the placard. 'Thank you,' says Taron Egerton's AllSaints cardigan, a reminder that yes, you need some geriatric knitwear this winter.

If Givenchy's Clare Waight Keller is cutting the seams on her tailored trousers, then we're onboard. The trend for split trousers ramps up, and finds a happy home on Mena Massoud.

Design the clothes, wear the clothes, be the clothes. That could well be Tyler, the Creator's mantra, when he out-fashioned the Fashion Awards in his own Lacoste Golf Le Fleur collab.

The Politician's Ben Platt is surging in the polls. And for that, you can thank a left-field policy of red and green at the American Music Awards. We approve this message. A lot, actually.

What on Jakku happened to John Boyega? In a galaxy far, far away, the Star Wars wunderkind once settled for classic red carpet combos. No longer. Now, we've overcoats in checks and tiger stripes - lightyears away from the Old Order.

The winter beckons. As does your annual flu jab. But so too does your moody, Sith-coloured wardrobe, which Oscar Isaac exercised to full effect in sharp, head-to-toe monochrome.

As Dan Levy can attest, the designer head spin of small-town Schitt's Creek can work in real life too, with the actor enlisting Valentino for a multi-layered outfit that'd make David Rose weep.

Finally, a two-sided Tyga hit that doesn't involve a Nicki Minaj guest appearance. It's Prada instead, with the rapper opting for the label's now iconic half-and-half print.

Armie Hammer may be all old Etonian up-top, but the threads down south certainly aren't. Thank the removal of a tie and a switch from brogues to diamond white sneaks.

All of a sudden, menswear is going monochrome. But not Chadwick Boseman. Oh no. The 21 Bridges star went brighter than ever in Dunhill. Goggles on, please.

If you're without a navy two-piece, you're not listening hard enough. But if you needed more proof of its versatility, look to John Legend's example, with a roll-neck and a fancy Swiss watch. You've no excuse.

Ah, Louis Vuitton. Though we've seen this particular knit on the runway and in our own, glossy pages, it looks even better on the back of rap nobility (and sometime LV runway model) Kid Cudi.

Shearling season is officially open. And the current frontrunner? Michael B. Jordan in Coach, in New York, in a palette every guy can co-opt.

Tailoring is enjoying a bit of wriggle room of late. But if you look at Sam Claflin, you'll see there's every reason to stay wedded to the classics, as Charlie's Angels star did in Hackett at the brand's No.14 Savile Row launch.

Though he's hung up the striped shield, Chris Evans is still the all-American poster boy. Just less Marvel, more Yale legacy student at a Hamptons wedding.

Henry Golding in tartan. Or, how to dress for a guest appearance on a Bing Crosby Christmas special.

On the cusp of becoming an octogenarian, Patrick Stewart is settling for threads that'll work in every decade downwards. And no, that doesn't mean Fair Isle sweater vests and tobacco pipes (which are still very good, by the way).

It's the things you don't say. Or, in Sam Claflin's case, wear, with the Charlie's Angels star forgoing a tie to easily upgrade the classic two-piece.
