The Gentlemen Are Back — And So Is the Art of Dressing Like One
Guy Ritchie doesn’t do anything by halves. And neither do we.
On 3rd September, Netflix drops the highly anticipated second series of The Gentlemen — the razor-sharp, visually stunning British crime drama that had the entire tailoring world reaching for their measuring tape. If Series 1 was a masterclass in criminal enterprise, it was equally a love letter to the kind of dressing that commands a room before you’ve said a single word.
We watched. We admired. We took notes.
Now it’s time to be ready.
What Made The Gentlemen’s Style So Compelling
From the moment Theo James swaggered onto our screens as Eddie Horniman — the reluctant Duke with impeccable cheekbones and even more impeccable suiting — it was clear that Guy Ritchie had once again weaponised clothing as character.
Every garment told a story. The structured shoulders that said old money. The earth-toned tweeds that whispered landed gentry. The crisp, white collar shirts that implied I went to the right school and I’m quietly dangerous. Nothing was accidental. Nothing was off-the-rack.
That’s precisely the point.
The Gentlemen understands what Savile Row has always known: a great suit isn’t just clothing — it’s a statement of intent.
Series 2: What to Expect
While plot details are being guarded with the same discretion Eddie applies to his more unorthodox business dealings, early previews confirm one thing: the style dial has been turned up. Expect:
· Deeper heritage palette — darker, richer tones that shift the aesthetic from autumnal country house to something altogether more cinematic
· New characters, new tailoring codes — each new face will bring their own sartorial language, from pinstriped city power to rural tweed authority
· Even sharper silhouettes — Ritchie’s world has no room for the shapeless or the careless
If Series 1 made you want a bespoke suit, Series 2 will make you want six.
Dress Like a Gentleman: The A Hand Tailored Suit Edit
You don’t need a country estate or a questionable inheritance to dress the part. You just need the right tailor.
Here’s how to channel the show’s defining looks:
🎩 The Eddie Horniman
The Look: Single-breasted, heritage tweed, natural shoulder, earth tones. The suit of a man who didn’t ask to be in charge but clearly belongs there. Our Recommendation: A made-to-measure tweed or herringbone two-piece in camel, olive, or tobacco. Paired with a white collar shirt and Oxford brogues. Starting from £699.
🖤 The Power Broker
The Look: Dark charcoal or midnight navy, precision-cut, peak lapel. Worn by men who make decisions and don’t explain them. Our Recommendation: A three-piece suit in Vitale Barberis Canonico wool with a peak lapel. Structured, sharp, and impossible to ignore. Starting from £899.
🌿 The Country Weekend
The Look: Relaxed but never sloppy. Corduroy or soft flannel trousers, a checked shirt, and a velvet or moleskin jacket. Our Recommendation: A casual bespoke jacket in earthy tones — the kind you wear to a morning meeting and an evening that gets complicated.
