Celebrity outfits are notoriously hard to replicate, even in their nicest, most normal form. Ryan Reynolds will always look like, well, Ryan Reynolds, and what he wears is often expensive and/or hard to find, especially when a stylist is involved to help him stick the landing.
Beyond recommending a decent pair of pleated pants, we have little guidance on how to deal with the first problemâbut right now, we can help with the other two. Earlier this week, Percival, the British label behind Hollywoodâs favorite polo shirts, and Ilaria Urbinati, the stylist for folks like Reynolds, Chris Evans, and Dwayne Johnson, joined forced on a collection of Late Night-approved pieces that will absolutely crush at any normal-guy environment you find yourself in.
This is the second time that the duo have worked together, and the latest dropâa tight edit of eight piecesâpicks up right where they left off. As expected, thereâs no shortage of swaggering knits to choose from, including a quartet of polos that would look awesome with slouchy trousers and two-tone loafers, but just as killer beneath a suit in a slightly more formal context. (The 1999 version of The Talented Mr. Ripley might be perennial summer mood board fodder, but damn if those open-collar joints arenât begging for a fall jaunt to the Italian Riviera.)
Thereâs also an exquisite riff on the striped shirts we keep yapping about, this one cut with a boxy fit, flat hem, and a varied stitch pattern that reads a shade more sophisticated than its pedestrian counterparts. But the most slyly Ryan Reynolds-coded of the lot might be the knitted vestâcropped enough to wear untucked, long enough to stay tucked inâa silhouette the actor seems to have developed a newfound devotion to as of late.
Unlike most duds favorited by the A-list, these clothes arenât just accessibleâtheyâre readily available at this very moment. But if Ilariaâs last go-around with Percival is any indication, the collection wonât stick around long, so copping with superhuman speed might be a wise move. Maximum effort, indeed.
