Get Inspired With the 6 Most Stylish Movies on Netflix

By

Films and fashion have always had a direct link. When we watch movies, we’re inspired by those leading men and sometimes emulate their style as our own. In a larger sense, these silver screen looks have inspired countless menswear designers (just take a look at most menswear staples, which have been inspired by classic Hollywood films).

Whether it’s bringing back a signature 70s’ look, or playing around with different fabrics for men, trends are reviving in a new way thanks to some of our favorite motion pictures — many of which are available for streaming now. Ahead, we take a look at some of the most stylish movies on Netflix now, so you can get inspired to clean out your closet, and even update it with some new pieces for fall.

Going full throttle into 70’s fashion, this Eddie Murphy vehicle had guys reaching for colorful suits and paisley shirts. Dolemite is My Name reins in those groovy styles to a reasonable level, similar to designer Dapper Dan’s work with Gucci. The movie is filled with urban suits rendered in bright colors and funky patterns paired with equally elaborate shirts, and punctuated with, of course, matching bell-bottoms.

The Ocean Misfit gang could honestly be taken as fashion trendsetters (did they ever come to a conclusion on a squad name?) George Clooney and Brad Pitt’s characters giving us prime Giorgio Armani-era looks with the layered unbuttoned collar shirt and blazer combo. A look that’s definitely making a comeback in recent Fall-Winter collections. The two along with Carl Reiner’s character also pulled a resort vibe wardrobe with Hawaiian shirts paired with distressed trousers.

Although Cher and Dionne were considered the fashion stars of Clueless, the fellas weren’t too far behind. Christian Stovitz (Justin Walker) arguably showing up Cher in his mysterious, James Dean-esque looks. Pairing high-waisted trousers with a fitted tee and leather jacket even caught Dionne’s eye, calling out, “The boy can dress.”

Whether he’s in a Shakespearean garb or Italian swimming trunks, Timothée Chalamet always seems to be one of the most stylish men in his films. Case in point: Lady Bird, where his character Kyle Scheible nails the private school “cool kid” vibe perfectly. Adding a bit of edge and personal touch to the traditional school uniform look thanks to simple touches like an unbuttoned polo paired with a Dickies insulated jacket.

The satirical movie based on the notorious teenagers who earned their name by raiding the celebrity homes (and closets) of Orlando Bloom, Paris Hilton (multiple times), Lindsey Lohan, and many more. No wonder the famed-obsessed teens make the list. Israel Broussard, who played Marc Hall, wears the fedora, scarf, tee, aviator combo after their first heist, giving nostalgia to iconic 2000’s LA looks. Come on, we all had that moment.

Directed by Tom Ford (say no more), this film adaptation of Christopher Isherwood’s novella focuses on a gay English professor who is grieving the death of his partner in midcentury Los Angeles. The looks, comprised of impeccable midcentury tailoring, are an important element of the film, which doesn’t shy away from Tom Ford’s influences; Sharp white button-up shirts, La Dolce Vita suits, and thick, black-framed lenses. Released in 2009, it was the also the same year that menswear shifted to thicker frame glasses. Coincidence? I think not.

J. McLauphlin Corduroy Paisley with popped collar

New Year's Eve is one of the events we look forward to every year. Whether you are going to Times Square, celebrating at a big watch party to see the festivities on the big screen with an open bar, or sitting at home and letting the kids stay awake until midnight for the only time of the year, it's a big day for everyone. When you are shaking off the bad things that happened in 2024, reminiscing about the good things that took place this year, and planning what you want to accomplish in 2025, your party is a big moment, and what you wear is just as significant. If you are like us, you love dressing up in something a little louder and having a little more fun with a great cocktail look. One brand has hit the nail on the head this year for the best jacket for your NYE party. The J. McLaughlin McCown Sport Coat is the unique look that will make you the center of attention as you ring in the new year.
Combining two looks into one

What makes a great sport coat for New Year's? For us, it is something unique that stands out. The J. McLaughlin McCown Sport Coat does this by combining two of the excellent sport coat looks of the season. Paisley is a great way to stand out with your smoking jacket, dinner jacket, or unique sport coat. And corduroy is a staple in the fall and winter seasons. This sport coat combines them both with a corduroy fabric blessed with a subtle but vibrant paisley pattern. This is the best coat to ring in the new year.

Suits actor gets comfy off set with Velvet by Graham & Spencer
California basics made for comfort
Velvet x Bryan Greenberg tee

As we all finish binge-watching our favorite Harvey Specter moments as we get ready for the Suits spin-off, we find ourselves reminded of the impeccable fashion we fell in love with on the series. Women marveled over Jessica Pearson's sensational dress and heel combinations. And us men, we learned the value of the power suit from Specter. Now that we have a new LA version of the series (Suits LA) starring Stephen Amell, we can start thinking about the style again, only with a West Coast twist. However, there is another angle to Suits LA's style: the offset collaboration with a different actor. Bryan Greenberg is tackling this new series with the former Arrow actor, and he has put together a new collection. The Velvet x Bryan Greenberg capsule shows off how style isn't reserved for the suit and tie.
