The British excel at many things, including tea, small chats about the weather, roast meals, suppressing their emotions, and in Tom Hiddleston’s case, dressing. Tom Hiddleston is perhaps best understood for recreating the villain Loki in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but his personal style is very different from his on-screen image. The Cambridge-educated actor consistently sports chic looks on and off the red carpet.

Hugh Laurie, another former House actor, and Tom Hiddleston co-starred in the British mystery thriller The Night Manager. Jonathan Pine is a suave character, and Tom Hiddleston’s style is more in line with that of Jonathan Pine.

Gucci, an Italian fashion firm, chose Tom Hiddleston to represent their 2017 Cruise tailoring line, demonstrating Hiddleston’s enthusiasm for the brand. A logical choice as Hiddleston excels at dressing up even though his casual style is always on the notch. Experimental shirts, vibrant double-breasted jackets, and three-piece suits are examples of classic Tom Hiddleston attire.

His more formulaic casual looks typically include slim-fit jeans, knitwear or a solid t-shirt, a versatile coat in a neutral shade like charcoal, grey, navy, or black, and are finished off with Aquatalia’s grey suede lace-up ankle boots almost always.

Working with prominent clients including Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Ryan Reynolds, Armie Hammer, Rami Malek, and Bradley Cooper, stylist Ilaria Urbinati has styled Hiddleston. In an earlier interview with The Washington Post, Urbinati said, “I’m not trying to make them appear attractive; I want them to be unexpected.”
