The trick here, then, is to get a really great jacket to amp up your casual attire.<\/p>\n
For Elordi, that meant an overshirt from Bottega Veneta<\/a>\u2014a brand the actor has been an official ambassador for<\/a> since last year. Loose and expensive, it’s the sort of thing that reads as \u201cfashion\u201d without going too directional. Plus, it’s in one of the most feared fabrics in menswear: leather. On the confident wearer, it’s guaranteed to elevate things, to make you look like you wear clothes from high-brow, in-the-know, top-tier Italian brands (which Elordi does on the regular). This is a jacket for guys who have a high-risk, high-reward relationship to clothing. Bet high; wear leather.<\/p>\n And there’s Isaac, whom the internet is currently regarding as a man at his aesthetic peak<\/a>. (\u201cWaited years for him to ferment to this point\u2026 Oscar, I\u2019m ready whenever you are,\u201d went one particularly feral post<\/a> on X a few months back.) For the brunch event in London, the actor reached for a chic JW Anderson farm jacket, which offered a bit of bucolic farmer-ness in its checked lining. Its shape is slightly longer to offset the boxiness, creating a silhouette that feels so deeply, reassuringly classic that this jacket will likely still bang as hard today as it will in ten years’ time. Just as a high-end Bottega Veneta leather shacket is an unimpeachable vibe, so, too, are village pub pints in a hardy, humble jacket.<\/p>\n Herein lies the modern menswear binary, then \u2013 and there are no two better envoys than Elordi and Isaac. Go fashion. Go farmy. Do both!<\/p>\n
