14. Wall Street (1987)
Michael Douglas as Gordon Gekko in Wall Street struck a chord with many and went on to be a style icon through-out much of the 90’s for businessmen. Strong contrasts, expensive accessories, bold colors and pinstripes, Gekko’s style is a classic. Some outfits look slightly dated but there are many details and concepts you can take from his style and modernize them for today.

The 1970’s done the right way. While the style in this film is very 70’s and would make Tom Ford very happy, there are many great outfit ideas and concepts to take away from this film. Gosling makes every outfit he wears look amazing. Experiment with colors and patterns as he does in his suits and shirts throughout the film.

17. Casablanca (1942)
Of all the ivory dinner jackets to pick, Humphrey Bogart does it effortlessly.

19. The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (2015)
Starring Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer, 2015’s The Man from UNCLE is an extremely stylish movie in both how it is filmed and what the characters are wearing. Cavil wears almost exclusively suits throughout the film while Hammer’s character has a more casual sense of style. Either way, you get the best of both worlds with this film. A particular shout out to Hammer’s suede jacket and Cavil’s tailor throughout the entire film.

20. American Psycho (2000)
Patrick Bateman’s style is probably the only thing you want to emulate from this film. Following in the footsteps of Gordon Gekko, he uses bold patterns and contrasts in his suits and shirts.

A contrasting collar is a next level style move that you should try!

21. Reservoir Dogs (1992)
Tarantino’s first film shows us again how great a classic dark suit and tie with white shirt can look. Even one of the “dogs” looks great in their black suits. Even if you are fair-complected, you will always look cool as hell in a black suit and tie.

22. To Catch a Thief (1955)
Another film starring Cary Grant, this film shows off more of his casual style. His navy striped long sleeved jersey with grey trousers is a particular standout in the film. He even wears a red neckerchief with this outfit. If I am being honest, every outfit looks great on Grant in the film!

23. The Great Gatsby (2013)
