![]() ![]() I've noticed that the fashion industry at large has been promoting shirtless suits for a few years. Julien Bouadjie, Jay-Z, Pedro Capó Design by Elaine Chung/Getty Images/Youtube And, lo and behold, Tom Holland graced Esquire’s February 2021 cover in a Prada suit, minus the shirt, obviously. Harry Styles performed at the 2021 Grammy Awards in a leather Gucci number, complete with green faux fur boa. Jay-Z also went shirtless in a double-breasted fit by Peter Pilotto in the “Apeshit” music video. In fact, Criss wasn’t the only celeb that rocked a look from that Dior collection Donald Glover wore one in navy for an event in New York. “He had a tank on underneath, but the appeal to not go with a collared shirt stemmed from wanting to keep the overall look understated, sexy, and free,” she says. ![]() Weston, for one, dressed her client Darren Criss, not exactly a lightning rod for fashion controversy, in a pink double-breasted suit from the Dior Men spring 2019 line back in 2018. Still, a celeb doesn’t necessarily have to be tatted, prone to antics, or a scumbro to have tried it out. “It all comes down to individuality and personal style.” “If it is a recording artist or a talent who is uninhibited, assured about their look, and loves to accessorize with jewelry-think Machine Gun Kelly-then it makes total sense,” says celebrity stylist John Tan. For these folks, suits without shirts are totally acceptable. There are guidelines as to what to wear on certain occasions, but when it comes to Tinseltown, the more peculiar, the better. And pants-yes, pants-are steadily being taken out of the equation. Colors, fabrics, cuts, and lengths, as Weston mentioned, are also in variety. There was the removal of cufflinks, then the vest, then the tie, and now the shirt. Heron Preston spring 2020, Harry Styles, Lil Nas X Design by Elaine Chung/Getty Images “And that has, in turn, led to more experimentation with suiting-how it's worn, the silhouettes, the colors, and patterns-and how it can better represent a client's personal style.” “We've definitely seen a shift in what it looks like to be a leading man, where suiting isn't the only option for the red carpet,” says celebrity stylist Ashley Weston. But taking a rebellious stance sartorially at press events has become so commonplace that we, as devourers of media, now expect it. “And I love the idea of them being fancy and dressed up, while feeling really comfortable and free, like they’re in pajamas, being sexy in a not-obvious way.”Ĭovertly sexy: Is that what shirtless suits evoke? Is this the new trend in suiting? Is it viable? Are shirts over? One thing is certain: It is definitely out of the ordinary, a subversion of the norm that DiCaprio demonstrated. “I wanted the moment to be authentic to where they both are at in their lives and to their lifestyle of surfing almost every day,” Woods adds. Those that saw Malibu beach in the fit were also spot-on. “There is this pic of the always-fab Lapo Elkann in a three-piece suit with no shirt,” Woods says. Hill’s stylist and friend, Ezra Woods, confirmed my suspicion. I, on the other hand, saw an echo of an Italian or Greek scion, the rebel of the family, bouncing from cabana to bar, making sure that all eyes were centered on him at all times. Some automatically mentioned Miami Vice, while others attributed the look to all things cowabunga. So much so that the fit went viral, overtaking my Instagram feed.ĭior Men spring 2019, Iggy Pop, Gucci fall 2021 Design by Elaine Chung/Getty Images Chalk it up to the warm-ish December night or Hill’s knack for dressing outside the proverbial box, his shirtless suit was on the money either way. As if all that doesn’t sound peculiar already, intentionally missing was a shirt. Hill also matched almost completely with his girlfriend, surfing instructor Sarah Brady. ![]() The look was by Gucci, the Italian label beloved by magpies and fervent fans of The Royal Tenenbaums, and the color was just the beginning: three pronounced brooches, a shimmering cyan necklace, and aquamarine jacquard mules by Manolo Blahnik finished it off. Amongst a clique that included Leonardo DiCaprio, Tyler Perry, and other tall, beautiful men decked in traditional navy, gray, or black two-pieces, Hill stood out-and marvelously at that. Hill stepped onto the red carpet in a seafoam blue single-breasted suit.
