Guy Ritchie’s latest flick, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., may revolve around a high-stakes mission to stop a nuclear bomb, but for me, the real showstopper is the killer style.

The film takes 1960s fashion to the next level, with Henry Cavill’s American spy Napoleon Solo looking sharp in tailored suits, while Armie Hammer’s KGB agent Ilya Kuryakin channels the effortless cool of Steve McQueen.
Style with a Purpose
What struck me most about the film's wardrobe is its intentional contradictions. Cavill’s character, a die-hard American spy, somehow embodies the classic elegance of a European gentleman - more British than American, if you ask me. His windowpane suits are a perfect nod to refined men's fashion from across the pond.

Meanwhile, Hammer’s Russian agent leans heavily into a rugged, all-American vibe. From his aviator glasses to the suede bomber jacket and beret, he oozes McQueen-like charisma.

Why the mix of seemingly clashing styles? Probably because it just looks incredible. And I’m not complaining.
Key Wardrobe Pieces
Cavill’s wardrobe is a masterclass in custom tailoring. Every suit screams, “This is bespoke.” The fit is immaculate, from the blazer’s sleeve length to the precise cut of the pants, designed to flatter his already imposing physique.

Hammer, on the other hand, embraces a more practical, no-nonsense approach, opting for slim-cut, classic 60s staples like suede bombers and Harrington coats. His clothes may be less formal, but they fit just as impeccably.

Shirts
Cavill keeps it timeless with a crisp, white, fully-buttoned dress shirt, adding to his polished look. Hammer mixes things up with a sleek short turtleneck, which, combined with his rugged wardrobe, cements the McQueen influence.


Accessories
Cavill’s character schools us all on the art of pattern mixing. The wide windowpane checks on his suits pair effortlessly with the subtle polka dots on his ties. It’s all about balance - bold yet refined.

But it’s not just the leads who are dressed to impress. Every character in the film, from supporting roles to background extras, is impeccably styled, making The Man from U.N.C.L.E. one of the most fashionable films of the year.

After this visual style feast, I’m hyped for the next stylish spy film on the horizon - 007: Spectre.
