Most Stylish Films
I think films can be a great source of sartorial inspiration. Those that have consistently stylish, well- fitting clothes throughout offer the most to me.
It would be hard to make a definitive top 10 list, so I will discuss some films that stand out to me as having outstanding wardrobes and are particularly inspirational.
The James Bond series is one that comes to mind first of all. From early days of Sean Connery in Dr No, sporting what would soon become his trademark, the ‘turnback’ shirt cuff, to the modern day iteration of Daniel Craig who does the classic black tie so well in Casino Royale.
A Single Man is also one of my favourite films, as a film in its own right and also for its stylistic content. Directed by Tom Ford, he also does a magnificent job of the wardrobe, taking cues from 60′s Americana with slim ties and lapels, tab collars and materials such as mohair.
Wall Street 2 is another recent film which caught my attention. It updates the look of the 80′s stockbroker, depicted in the original film by contrast collars and braces replacing them with dashing 3 piece suits and peak lapels. Back in the 60′s, Michael Caine perfected the suited gangster look in Get Carter looking particularly good in the navy 3 piece below.
In my opinion, the most stylish film of all is the Hitchcock thriller North by Northwest. We see Cary Grant wear an exceptionally well tailored blue-grey suit that has become synonymous with the film. The suit has achieved iconic status, with GQ voting it the best suit in film history in 2006.
