It should have taken a hero of enormous stature to stand up and outshine the Avengers, but Tom Holland did it with little more than superheroic likability. Okay, that and a Spider-Man suit. The British actor is still a relative newcomer in Hollywood but has the poise and profile of someone who’s been doing it for years.

Of course, it helps that he looks every inch the matinee movie star, with a wardrobe to match. Holland’s style brings together contemporary items with a classic leading man vibe. Think an updated take on the old school Hollywood star, pairing flawless tailoring with casual menswear staples.

If you ever wanted proof that a white T-shirt belongs beneath a formal jacket as much as it does a hoodie, then Holland is your friendly neighbourhood style icon. There’s also a manly edge to his off-duty style, with masculine classics and tonal looks that sit between the slickly-styled machismo of the 1950s and 21st-century streetwear.

No Shirt Required

Proving that he’s the undisputed hero of replacing a formal shirt with a simple tee, this is Holland playing to his strengths. He’s got a seemingly endless rack of exquisite tailoring – all slim through the body and perfectly fitted – perhaps cropped at the ankle.

There’s also something of the 1950s rock ‘n’ roll era with this get-up – the cut and lapels call back to the days of hip-swivelling sex icons and his hair is swept back almost into a pompadour.

The Super Suit

While he’s a dab hand at updating the formal look with some youthful pizazz, Holland does the classics too. And classic is absolutely the word here, as Holland puts a 21st-century spin on the matinee-era star with this broad double-breasted jacket, calling back to 1930s Hollywood.

It’s slim cut through the body – another example of Holland’s keen eye (not to mention body size) for swish tailoring – to create a refined, elegant look. Though again, you’ll note that there’s not a shirt or tie to be seen. Clark Kent take note.

Suede & Stripes

Continuing his knack for squeezing every last drop of modern style from retro-inspired items, here’s a look that’s pure vintage.

There’s a ’70s feel to the striped shirt (with open collar for extra street cred), a ’60s Easy Rider-looking suede jacket with a contemporary cut, and a touch of the ’50s thrown in with Holland’s pushed back side-parting. It’s an outfit that spans at least three decades, but the overall feel is timeless.
