Get the Look: Custom Made Suits We’ve Seen on the Red Carpet

From Leo Dicaprio, David Beckham, Idris Elba and Johnny Depp to Tom Hardy, John Legend and more; the red carpet is always home to some of the most dapper men on the face of the planet. Their styles are impeccable and it can seem impossible to get the same looks without spending thousands and paying a styling team to help you achieve the looks; but in reality, it’s all about hacks. With certain key pieces in your wardrobe, you can craft the perfect red carpet look for yourself without going broke:

Classic black

Classic black is just an absolute go-to; it’s not going anywhere and is always flattering and slimming. Maybe this is why almost every single celebrity, man or woman, has defaulted to this at some point or another. It can be paired with white ( black blazer, pants, shoes and tie and a white dress shirt) or it can be a solid black look. While fashion and colors are seasonal, a black and white or all black look is timeless and, unless you’re at Diddy’s all white party, works 100% of the time.

Prints & Patterns

Eddie Redmayne, Joe Jonas, Lea Delaria were all spotted wearing different types of plaid tailored suits on the red carpet. Prints are interesting, they make statements, offer personality, innovation and charisma and break up the monotony. From plaid to pinstripes to window paned, tons of celebs have made a bold statement rocking interesting prints and patterns on the red carpet.

Having at least one to three of these prints and patterns in your wardrobe allows you to do so much; you  can mix and match with solids or rock a bold, matching printed look. Nowadays, the selection of prints available is wide. So, before making a decision it is important to take a moment to think about the undertones. Whether is different shades of grey or a combination of a bright bold color tie with a solid neutral shirt. The key to a successful match is taking the time to visualize the suit and decide “what do I want to say with this?”

Bold Colored Suits

The word suit use to be synonymous with classic, neutral professional attire. Nowadays, this is no longer the case. Today’s gentlemen take more chances - they understand that being expressive and bold exudes confidence. Recently, DeAndre Jordan was spotted wearing a bold green tailored suit at ESPYS. Sam Smith wore a royal blue custom suit at the Brit Awards. Colored suits can be a wake up call for your wardrobe, showing that it still has a pulse and you aren’t afraid of being daring.
