Part of Dev Patel's charm is that he's famous without being flashy - less "I'd like to thank my make-up artist for never giving up on me" and a little more "thanks for the pint, mate".

It's an approach that extends to his clothes, too. And, unlike general red carpet peacockery, his latest look is one easily emulated.

It's a case of dressing down a versatile navy suit with a roll-neck: in this instance, brown, though Patel's track record has included cream, white and yes, more fail-safe, lovely, reliable navy all from Ermenegildo Zegna. The general vibe is smart enough for something like a red carpet yet sharp, classic and, most importantly, easy-to-wear.

After all, less is most certainly more. And say you do follow Patel's template, there's every reason why roll-neck blues will work for you, too. Simply keep your fits slim, your colours muted and your charm ever so humble.
