Nothing looks as smart as a classic two-button tuxedo. There are five elements that you need to get the look right—sharp trousers, fitted blazer, a crisp white shirt, perfectly-knotted bow-tie, and polished lace-up shoes. Every year the Academy Awards is witness to men who ace the tuxedo game, either in its traditional avatar—Leonardo DiCaprio and Sam Smith—or with tweaks to give it character. Three tips on re-doing the classic, as worn by these dapper men:

1. Add texture to your outfit with a velvet jacket like Eddie Redmayne and Henry Cavill.

2. Give your look a dose of contemporary with a pop of colour, and a quirky element, like Jared Leto.

3. Switch up—wear a white or blue jacket, like Chris Rock and Mark Ruffalo, or a white tie like Ryan Gosling.
