Tea, climate-related small talk, baked potatoes, sentimental repression, and, in Tom Hiddleston’s case, fashion are all things that the British excel at. Tom Hiddleston’s aesthetic is a far cry from his on-screen character, with the Cambridge-qualified actor consistently putting together stylish outfits on and off the red carpet.

Tom Hiddleston is a fan of Gucci, and the Italian fashion house chose him to be the face of their 2017 Cruise tailoring collection. While Hiddleston’s relaxed style is always on point, styling is where he thrives. Tom Hiddleston’s signature looks include exploratory shirts, vibrantly colored double-breasted outfits, and three-piece blazers.

His casual ensembles are more monotonous, consisting of slim-cut jeans, sweaters or solid t-shirts, a dynamic coat in a neutral color such as charcoal, grey, navy, or black, and almost always topped off with grey suede lace-up boots by Aquatalia.

Hiddleston has never steered away from trying out new hairstyles, having worn his hair black, blond, and red in different lengths over the years. His most instantly recognizable in-between-filming haircut, nevertheless, is a signature long on the top, low on the sides style in his innate red hue.

Hiddleston’s hair on top has begun to recede mildly as he gets closer to his forties, attempting to make his grooming choice appropriate. The short sides create a classic, clean look, while the lengthier, curly quiff on top gives the appearance of a full head of hair.

Tom Hiddleston’s suits are impeccable. This dark brown Gucci attire looks great with a cream shirt, a remarkable polka-dot tie, and brown leather oxfords. Hiddleston invariably follows the decisive two-button jacket rule of fastening the top button and having left the lower one undone.

A suit is always a safe bet; simply remove the tie and undo the top couple of numbers for a suave, savvy casual look. Tom Hiddleston keeps things interesting by straying from the tried-and-true black, grey, and navy color scheme and instead experimenting with more vibrant hues.
