Use celebrity inspiration without copying a whole look
Start with one choice you would actually wear: a neat shirt collar, an open-neck knit or a jacket with a clean shoulder line. Try that choice with clothes you already own before buying a complete outfit.
For a quieter evening combination, try a navy jacket over a white shirt with charcoal trousers; for a casual version, replace the shirt with a plain cream knit and leave the jacket open.
Judge the outfit on your own body and in your own setting. You do not need a celebrity’s height, physique or supposed star-sign traits to decide whether a collar is comfortable or a jacket lets you move.

PEOPLE named Jonathan Bailey its 2025 Sexiest Man Alive. This gallery leaves the choice to you.
How were the men selected?
The VOU’s editors chose 50 men from film, music, modelling and sport whose faces many readers will recognise. The order is a presentation sequence, not a ranking.
Profile sources checked 8 October 2026.
Aidan Russell’s focus at The VOU is men’s face-shape styling, facial proportions and the way accessories frame the face. His coverage addresses a common starting question: how do you choose glasses, hats or necklines when standard face-shape advice does not quite describe your features?
His subject areas include comparing visible face length and width, recognising mixed features and understanding how frame size, brim shape and neckline placement change an overall look. Rather than making a shape label the final decision, this coverage connects proportions with the effect a reader wants, whether that means adding definition, softening an outline or drawing attention to particular features.
Aidan’s editorial focus also links facial styling with the rest of a man’s wardrobe. The aim is to make comparisons easier when trying on accessories or planning an outfit, while allowing for comfort, fit and personal preference. Readers looking for a starting point in face-shape styling can use this coverage to identify options worth trying, without being confined to one prescribed look.
Mandy Meyer’s focus at The VOU is men’s body-shape styling, garment fit and outfit proportions. Her coverage addresses the practical questions behind a wardrobe choice: how a jacket sits across the shoulders, how trousers fall and how different cuts change the silhouette a wearer wants to create.
Her subject areas include the triangle, inverted triangle, rectangle, oval, trapezoid, hourglass and diamond labels used in body-shape styling. These provide starting references for comparing visible proportions; they do not capture every body or prescribe one correct way to dress. The focus connects those observations with garment shape, construction, length and the relationship between the upper and lower parts of an outfit.
Mandy’s editorial coverage combines visual comparisons with fit checks for comfort and movement. Readers can consider whether a cut gives them the room they need, where clothing pulls or gathers and which changes might support their preferred look. The aim is to make menswear choices more understandable while keeping personal preferences and the wearer’s own styling goals central.
Ana Alves focuses on sustainable menswear, vegan materials and alternatives to buying every wardrobe item new. Her coverage at The VOU connects environmental questions with practical clothing decisions: what to keep, what to repair and how to assess a purchase when a product’s sustainability claims are difficult to compare.
Her subject areas include vintage and second-hand shopping, clothing rental, material descriptions and the information behind vegan fashion claims. This focus considers condition, fit, care requirements and likely use alongside a garment’s stated composition. It also separates specific sourcing or production information from broad labels that do not explain how a product was made.
Ana’s approach to wardrobe planning starts with the clothes a reader already owns. Her coverage supports men who want to reduce unnecessary purchases, find useful pieces second-hand or compare alternatives to animal-derived materials. The aim is to make those choices clearer without presenting one material, retailer or shopping method as an automatic guarantee of lower environmental impact.
