JACOB ELORDI IS LOOKING PARTICULARLY GOOD RIGHT NOW

Jacob Elordi has always known his way around an outfit, but the Australian actor has recently emerged as menswear’s stylish frontman. The 28-year-old has been swanning around various film festivals and movie sets amid two major upcoming features: Wuthering Heights and Frankenstein – both set in 19th-century Europe, inviting a suitable selection of period nods to his own wardrobe. Having grown out an impressive pair of sideburns and indulged in more tailored silhouettes, it’s hard to deny that the actor is looking exceptionally good. If you’re as obsessed with this recent style as we are, keep scrolling for a breakdown of his best looks. We can’t promise they’ll grant you his dashing good looks, but you’ll certainly be the best-dressed man in the room.

This look wouldn’t look out of place in your dad’s wardrobe. But Jacob – ever the sartorial aficionado – makes it work. By selecting understated neutrals for this shirt and trousers combo, the modern oversized fit doesn’t feel too performative. Finished with a slimline loafer, wire-rimmed glasses and a classic leather watch, this has all the makings of a wise and well-groomed professor about to solve the biggest philosophical plot twist of our times. In fact, Plato’s been real quiet since this dropped.

This is where Jacob really comes into his own. The actor has been known to sport an unexcepted bag, be it a chic shoulder style or an oversized leather tote. Never succumbing to the myth of gendered fashion, Jacob’s outfit add-ons are often favoured by everyone from Hailey Bieber to the Olsen twins. Whether hitting the red carpet or the airport runway, this is evidence that even the simplest ensemble could always benefit from a good accessory.

Full-blown Black Tie might not always be the suitable option, but boy does it look good – and you’ll never regret having at least one strong tailored two-piece on the back burner. Jacob’s penchant for oversized silhouettes continues in his formal get-ups, with this billowing trouser and blazer combo injecting some fashion-forward energy into a classic 007-esque look.

Jacob Elordi wasn’t on the Rival’s cast list, but if he fancied his hand at season 2, this outfit makes a worthy application. The all-white colour drench is a dangerous endeavour for those headed to dinner (we’d swerve entirely if spaghetti bolognese is on the menu), but the effortless 80s cool is worth the risk. Book-ending this look with black sunglasses and loafers makes a clean-cut, quiet luxury statement that’ll leave a lasting impression.

The mark of great style is consistency, and Jacob has it in droves. Whether dressing up or down, each look relies on a simple formula of quality basics and impeccable fit. This workwear co-ord is no different, balancing an oversized bomber jacket with sharp tailored trousers. The green cap provides a pop of casual colour that’s offset by formal dress shoes and a sleek leather belt. It’s a perfectly calculated rubric that takes your usual ‘omw’ outfit into ‘omg’ territory.
