By now, the whole world knows that Meryl wore Lanvin, Gwyneth wore Tom Ford & Angelina Jolie’s right leg is a separate entity from her body that has its own twitter account (@Angiesrightleg) but what about the men? With the guys this year, it was all about the details and there were some very dapper getups on the red carpet. There’s probably a thing or two we could all learn from this especially if you ever need to go to a black tie event! Here’s our take on who got it right.

Gary Oldman completely nailed it with his classic white shirt and 3 piece Paul Smith tuxedo. His jacket, with the notch lapel and midnight blue contrast trim was fashionably subtle as opposed to completely OTT (over the top). And of course – those thick black frames with the metal arms was the perfect combination of utilitarian and vintage cool.

Christopher Plummer shows that style is ageless. Captain Georg (that’s pronounced Gay-org for you non-SOM fanatics, not George as in Costanza) Von Trapp completely stole the show when he walked his 84 year old self down the red carpet in a midnight blue velvet tuxedo with binding tape on the lapels and a tiny flower petal pin (we think it was an edelweiss).

Jean Dujardin who apparently loves America now (of course he does) killed it with a wing collar and an over-sized bow tie. This was perfectly balanced by his wide lapel tuxedo, which evened out the whole look. And one more thing that worked to his French favour – his hair & eyebrows!

Who do you think should be on this list?

We recently started trawling through this cool tumblr called awesome people hanging out together. It's pretty self explanatory but what we wanted to point out was that they're not just awesome people who are prone to hanging out together, they're awesome random people. It's not like pap shots of Jason Statham and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley walking down the street - that's awesome - but meh we've seen a lot of those lately. Anyway, we saw this one which just made us smile! It's four playful shots of Sophia Loren and Elvis Presley. She looks stunningly elegant in this bold striped shirt with a contrasting white collar - yet she's doing nothing particularly special by any standards and it's a black and white photo - you can't even tell what colour that shirt is but it's the simplicity that makes these shots just beautiful.

Before we, (guys and girls alike) start gawking uncontrollably at the flawless thing on the right-hand side of the picture below (read: Olivia Palermo) let's take 3 seconds to look at her very easy on the eye beau, Johannes Huebl. When we saw this picture, we were a bit startled! We didn't think a black shirt could be worn in such a casual manner and in broad daylight! It seems that these days, most men only wear black shirts if they're slim fit, body-hugging and the only occasions for it are nights out on the town, first dates or inside a killer suit (think Brad Pitt in all the Oceans movies).

But here is a black dress shirt phenomenon that Johannes Heubl is comfortably sporting - loose fitting, top two buttons undone, white shorts, loafers, wayfarers (and an Iphone if you want to be specific). Yes, we agree, he is painfully good looking and we understand your fears of not being able to pull off this look but come on, you can barely see his face here! He could be anyone and seriously..this look is brilliantly versatile!

OK we can all go back to staring at Olivia Palermo now. Ladies - what do you think of her shirtdress?

A lot of guys may be skeptical about donning the short sleeve shirt for fears it might be too casual, too school uniform-esque or possibly too geek-freak and not enough geek-chic. Then Mr Kanye West comes along and redefines what men can do with short sleeves. Here he is in Paris with a simple white shirt, baggy like the way they made them in the 90's, rolled up short sleves, just chillin' & smilin'.

When we first started choosing collar options for girls, we were advised against offering our customers the Peter Pan (round) collar - "too school girl", "too tacky", "no one can pull it off" etc. We thought differently and have never looked back! We really love the little white round collars that have been spotted around the streets lately! Enjoy x
