Most Stylish Men at the Oscars: Daniel Day-Lewis

Daniel Day Lewis Impressed us With His Midnight Blue Tux by Domenico Vacca

The Oscars are one of the most exciting awards shows of the year, especially for those who are huge fans of cinema. This year’s show was no different, packed with some of the best-known actors in Hollywood. One of the reasons that many people watch awards shows such as the Oscars is the fact that fashion tends to stand out unlike that of any other show during the year. While most focus on women's garments, we took a closer look at how well the men put themselves together. Perhaps the best-dressed man at the awards show, Daniel Day-Lewis brought home a fair amount of accolades this year, as well as gaining himself quite a bit of attention for his approach to red carpet fashion. Read below to learn more about Daniel Day-Lewis’ appearance, including how you can make the look work for you.

Oscar winner Daniel Day-Lewis shows us that tuxedos don't always have to be solid black. His midnight blue tux with contrasting black shawl collar was one of the more impressive ensembles seen during this year's Oscars.

Domenico Vacca
If there’s one thing that set Daniel Day-Lewis apart from everyone else at this year’s Oscars, it was the Domenica Vacca tux that he donned. Midnight blue is not always a color that is easy to pull off, but the actor did so with the utmost charm. Featuring a slim, yet modest fit, this tux looked as if the actor was practically born into it; it was one of the more flattering at the show. The black shawl collar of the tux was nicely complimented with a larger self-tied black bow tie. Also worth mentioning are the single pleat plants - a style that is not too common these days on slim fit suits and tuxes.

Bold Accents
A big reason why this tux worked so well for Daniel Day-Lewis comes down to the fact that it featured some of the more bold accents seen at the awards show. Color contrasting black shawl lapels are not something that everyone is used to, but they looked unbelievable against the midnight blue of this suit. He also chose the perfect accessories, going with a relatively small but wide spread bow tie, and a subtle white pocket square that featured just enough texture to pop and make the suit look all the more unique. Without these accents, it would’ve been just another (albeit expensive) midnight blue tux.

Takeaways for the Modern Man
Modern men can learn a lot just by taking one look at Daniel Day-Lewis’ appearance at this year’s Oscars, but the style lesson that stands out the most, is that midnight blue is an acceptable color for formal black tie events. Should you look for a slightly different ensemble, than a dark blue suit paired with a color contrasting shawl collar, may just be perfect. Last but not least, don't forget the simple accessories, such as the white pocket square, and self-tied black bow tie that compliments the black accents on the tux.
