Regé-Jean Page became the internet’s boyfriend overnight – and fans continue to burn for the Bridgerton alum with his impressive talent, dashing good looks, and dapper style.
He’s pulled off Regency-style clothes magnificently, rocked elegant suits to shows and events – remember his black Alexander McQueen suit when he hosted SNL? – and most recently, wowed in an emerald green suit at the 2021 GQ Men Of The Year Awards, where he was awarded with Standout Performance Of The Year. (The star-studded event also marked his first joint public appearance with rumored girlfriend Emily Brown – they were spotted holding hands!)
He’s also got the effortless style sense down pat – his sweater game is on point; and he’s repeatedly made a strong case for turtlenecks just by wearing them.
In a recent interview with GQ, he noted how clothes can say a lot without having to actually say anything.
“I think there’s something about choosing your wardrobe as armor as much as something practical to carry you through special occasions,” he told the magazine, later adding, “I think that clothes are very much an unspoken language, but they can be very eloquent.”
So, just how does the dashing Duke Of Hastings pick out the perfect outfit for a big night IRL? Regé reveals his top six tips when it comes to choosing the right threads for special events:
First, keeping an open mind is key. “Listen to opinions that you don’t have yet,” he shared, adding, “I think that’s my advice for most things in life.”
Tips 2 and 3 go hand-in-hand – he encourages trying out something new while keeping in mind the message you want to convey with your clothes.
“Be a little bit daring,” he continued, “but also listen carefully to yourself about what it is that you want to say.”
The right outfit doesn’t just have to make a statement – they have to be practical as well.
“I like there being a practical element to it as well in terms of how it changes how you carry yourself,” he notes. “Whether that’s through confidence, whether that’s through the weight of the jacket or the t-shirt, or the shoes, or the trousers.”
A style statement also doesn’t always have to be a bold one.
“It’s also not about shouting at people,” he said.
And, lastly, go for looks that draw attention, not create it.
“It’s about drawing folks in rather than kind of running and getting up in people’s faces,” he added.
