10. Singin' In The Rain (1952)

One of the most classically masculine wardrobes ever seen on screen, perhaps the reason that Gene Kelly's outfits have remained so timeless is that despite being about the advent of 'Talkies' in Hollywood, 'Singin' In The Rain' was filmed in the '50s, and the costumes reflect both. Gene Kelly's pleasingly cartoon-colored tailoring is the dream sequence and the all-white evening ensemble, with matching hat, at the start of the climactic reveal scene.

9. On The Waterfront (1954)

Charley Malloy pleads with younger brother Terry, played by Marlon Brando, doing dockworker-chic to keep quiet, in the centerpiece of Elia Kazan’s 1954 classic. Unfortunately, for Charley at least, Terry chooses Palookaville, leaving his big brother on the hook. The distance between two men has never been greater and cinema, to this day, has rarely looked so good.

8. La Dolce Vita (1960)

While the iconic image from Federico Fellini's hedonistic, seven-day epic might be Anita Ekberg wearing that black dress in the Trevi Fountain, for us it was Marcello Mastroianni's outfits that truly justify the film's 1961 Oscar for Best Costumes. Perhaps no other character in any other film has done more to establish the classic Italian look for men, from the slim cut suits to the beautifully crisp double-cuffed shirts worn with supersized. Perhaps the star of Mastroianni's wardrobe are his shades: Persol 649s.

7. The Godfather Part II (1974)

Why the second installment? Because it offers not one but two timelines, uniting Robert DeNiro’s early-20th century formality with Pacino’s Sixties glamour. Everywhere you look, men are dressed to kill, or be killed.

6. Barry Lyndon (1975)

Only modestly successful when it was released, today this adaption of the 19th-century novel by William Thackeray is widely considered to be Stanley Kubrick’s masterpiece. Ryan O’Neal plays the eponymous antihero who works his way up from poverty in Ireland to a dazzling marriage to the Countess of Lyndon, played by the impossibly beautiful Marisa Berenson. Kubrick lit the film to make it look like an 18th-century oil painting and this helps to emphasize the ravishing period costumes with pools of light falling on lace jabots, velvet frock coats and beauty spots.

5. Scarface (1983)

Quite possibly the strongest selection of shirts ever seen in a single film, Scarface brings the vibrant, sun-drenched, slightly sweaty vibe of Eighties Miami in spades. And it's not just Tony Montana, played by Al Pacino, who's representing the city in all its open-necked gangster glory. The style trickles down to even the most briefly seen extras. Silk shirt fans, this is the movie for you. 

4. The Talented Mr Ripley (1999)

Another epic remake from 1999, this version of the Sixties' Plein Soleil starred young Americans Matt Damon, Jude Law and Gwyneth Paltrow in the lead roles. With the amped-up colors of the Italian Riviera as the backdrop, the wardrobe is Fifties Ivy League prep, with Law and Damon sporting slim dark suits, buttoned-up long-sleeve polo jumpers and billowing, colourful shirts on the beach.

3. A Single Man (2009)

Not content with being arguably the most talked about designer of the early-noughties, Tom Ford took some time away from the catwalk to direct his first feature film, 'A Single Man'. Featuring an all-star cast, including Colin Firth as the film's conflicted university professor lead, Julianne Moore as his best friend, Nicholas Hoult as his student, Matthew Goode as his ex-boyfriend and supermodel Jon Kortajarena as a rent boy, the film perfectly merges the worlds of fashion and film in dreamy Sixties style.

2. Her (2013)

Like so many sci-fi thrillers, Spike Jonze's exploration of the dangers of artificial intelligence is so powerful and gripping it feels like it's perfectly, scarily possible. Set in the not too distant future in Los Angeles, the plot follows professional card writer Theodore Twombly, played by Joaquin Phoenix. What makes this so cool style-wise? The clothes in this version of the future are quite throwback: high-waisted pleat trousers, granddad-collar shirts, round-rimmed specs, slouchy suits, moustaches, all of which have since come into mainstream fashion for men since the film's release, making this dystopian future feel closer at hand than ever.

1. Dunkirk (2017)

While the majority of the characters in Christopher Nolan's incredible tribute to the mass-evacuation of Allied troops from the Normandy beaches in the first year of the Second World War mostly spend their time in military uniforms, there are the fisherman's jumpers in the mix too. To top it all, the young stars, such as Fionn Whitehead and Harry Styles, had one of the most stylish premiere trails in movie history.
