Brit Awards 2018 | Who Stood Out on the Red Carpet

Justin Timberlake confirming that double breasted isn’t going anywhere. Although he’s kept it relaxed by leaving the last button undone. This isn’t the Oscars so we can have a brown suede shoe and red scarf no problem. It’s a cool ensemble actually, a good blend of formal with the shawl collar and cool/casual with the accoutrements.

LIAM PAYNE

Firstly, how stunning does Cheryl look here? Wild neckline of black feathers running over the arm, how the little black dress has evolved right Audrey? Liam was always going to pale in comparison to this, but at least he doesn’t disappear entirely into the shadows. A double breasted light blue jacket, double vented so he can comfortably put his hands in his pockets without disrupting the shape.

The lapels are quite exaggerated in width, as is often the case with double breasted overlaps the breast pocket. There are two large straight flap skirt pockets but because of his height he can carry these breaks in the silhouette off quite easily, and well.

I’d like to have seen a better choice of shoe. If you’re going trainer, then do a contrast and let people know you’re going casual. These are neither here nor there.

SAM SMITH

Unusual this one from Sam and tricky to describe. Technically it’s a double breasted single button shawl tux. It’s ostentatious and you could say, perfect for the Brits red carpet, but would struggle to find its place in the real world.

No breast pocket which gives it a full chest, but with the lack of a breast pocket and going with the jetted skirt pockets it looks very effeminate. I think the pairing with the deep fire engine red shirt with buttoned up pointed collar works brilliantly.

A noticeable windowpane/grid check and great choice with the double monk strap shoe, formal but not business.

TOM GRENAN

I have this talk all the time with my fellow influencers as to whether we’re going to see a resurgence of pleated trousers. After all, where else is there to go once you’ve got to sprayed on? Tom Grennan leading the way with the double reverse pleated trousers here and although I’m quite the formal shirt wearer, this relaxed open collar look suits this slouchy late 80’s, New York writer style look.

CONOR MAYNARD

And he’s not even wearing a shirt! You don’t actually notice right? Because this Nailhead suit is doing all the talking for Conor Maynard. Massive lapels, crikey how big would you say they were? 4.5/5 inches? A nice suppressed waist and a double breasted vest beneath. The trousers are tailored with no break and punctuated nicely with the black trainer and white crepe. Let me tell you those white crepes are a b*stard to keep clean living in the city so these must be fresh out of the box.
