Perfect for boybands and catwalks – but what approximately the genuine world?Every year on the red carpets of say,the Oscars, or the Grammys, and there’s always one male star wearing a white suit. One year it was Jared Leto,another, a pre-harness Timothée Chalamet. In a sea of perfectly tailored black tuxes, or this actor stands out,nearly too much. He is basically saying: “Hey, listen up. I’m not like those other guys for whom this is a visual Bond audition. I’m special! I’m caring, or sharing and can play quirky (depending on the fee). Please cast me in your next John Green adaptation.”Wearing white always feels like an audacious move: bold,carefree and perhaps a little brash. Because who really wants to be That Guy? It doesn’t have to be a white suit at the Oscars: what to make of the dude who turns up at the house party in all white? Or the friend of a friend in white quarter-length shorts and matching polo shirt? It either says try-tough, estate agent or Wham! tribute act.
