Celebrity-Inspired Men’s Outfits to Help Your Boyfriend Level Up His Style

If you or someone you love is struggling with styling men’s outfits, you’ve come to the right place. Sure, we may not be as in the weeds as our GQ compatriots, but we do also have our own relationships with menswear—largely the concern that our boyfriends (or husbands, friends, and family) are dressing terribly.

Here at Vogue, we’re also constantly looking at photos of celebrities—and what they’re wearing. So, while womenswear is our bread and butter, we know good fashion regardless of gender. When it comes to helping the people in our life pull together stylish men’s outfits, we look to the stars.

If you’re looking to help your boyfriend dip a toe into the fashion world, perhaps trot out the likes of Harris Dickinson, Rami Malek, Joe Alwyn, and Nicholas Hoult—all of whom can rock a lowkey outfit with aplomb. Low maintenance button-downs, trousers, vests, and the holy grail white tee are all par for the course here. If they’re feeling bold, steer them in the direction of Paul Mescal and his rugby-length shorty shorts.

If you’re hoping the man in your life will add a bit more flair to his outfit, we’ve got just the thing for you, too. Bad Bunny and Jacob Elordi are both experts at accessorizing relatively pared-down looks. To spruce up an all-white ’fit, Bad Bunny added a backwards baseball cap, silk neckerchief, and diamond necklace. Elordi, meanwhile, has become known for his impressive bag collection. After all, there is nothing more annoying than a man asking if he can put something in your purse because it won’t fit in his pockets. Be a problem solver in style!

Formalwear poses its own set of challenges. In lieu of the standard tuxedo, consider a pleated skirt like Oscar Isaac, a floppy tie like Josh O’Connor, or a formal scarf like Damiano David.

For the advanced dressers, A$AP Rocky and Colman Domingo are always beacons of style, but there are plenty of famous gentlemen to reference when looking for inspiration. Below, see some of our favorite fashionable celebrities to inspire men’s outfits.
