Dress like a gentleman (from the Netflix series The Gentlemen)

Eddie Horniman (Theo James)

Eddie Horniman's clothing style is imbued with a classic British sophistication, with a dash of country charm. The three-piece suit with a waistcoat, tweed blazer and houndstooth pattern is part of his daily attire. However, he also chooses a more relaxed style with elegant simplicity, through an Oxford shirt or a knitted pullover, combined with a houndstooth coat.

Among the featured pieces, we also see brands such as Sunspel, Lacoste's timeless blue pique and a pair of Sheldrake sunglasses from Oliver Peoples, adding a modern twist. Eddie Horniman personifies a genuine gentleman's style that fuses traditional and modern elements in a sophisticated way.

Britain’s waxed jacket heritage

The waxed jacket is an indispensable part of the rural British heritage and carries with it an aristocratic feel that also permeates the clothing style of the Horniman family. This is further reinforced through the choice of costume in the series: namely the British brand Barbour, which has long enjoyed a royal court supplier status. Originally intended for use among farmers and hunters, Barbour has established itself particularly well in aristocratic circles, but also in urban environments where its timeless style and functionality are appreciated.

Vinnie Jones and the flat cap

When discussing Britain’s clothing heritage, it’s impossible to miss the flat cap. In The Gentlemen, we see the character Geoff wearing just such a cap, in true British tradition. The flat cap is a classic accessory with a rich history and strong associations with the British countryside and style of dress. This type of cap originated in Great Britain and has long been a symbol of style and elegance, especially among older gentlemen and the rural population. Beyond its practical purpose of protection from the elements, the tweed cap has become a fashion statement and a symbol of classic British style. Its charm lies in its simplicity and classic appearance, making it a favourite among people of all ages and backgrounds who appreciate traditional British style and quality craftsmanship.

Orange detailing

Orange seems to be the leading colour in The Gentlemen, at least judging by the advertisement photo also gracing this article. There we see the eccentric character Freddy (Daniel Ings) wearing an orange rooster suit, also with a gun barrel. Next to him is Tommy Dixon (Peter Serafinowicz), with a plush orange bag, signed Sergio Tacchini. Be inspired by the bright, yet vibrant and encouraging orange colour below.
