With his impeccable manners, modest charm and ability to look better than anyone else in a well-cut suit, Eddie Redmayne often feels like a reminder of what we like to think was once great about Britain.
His latest style move has a similarly nostalgic charm about it. At the Into Film Awards in London, the 37-year-old revived a piece that found its way to 2019 from your grandad's wardrobe: the sweater vest.
Long peddled by the luxury nerdwear of Alessandro Michele's Gucci, the sweater vest has seen a return to form this season in all its geriatric glory: argyle knits, Fair Isle patterns and the palettes of beloved (if slightly problematic) seventies sitcoms.
The Fantastic Beasts star isn't alone. Ryan Gosling endorsed the vintage-inspired V-neck last summer, opting for brighter shades within the shell of a two-piece. Our Redmayne however, has kept it transitional weather-appropriate worn with a navy overcoat, classic jeans and some minimalist sneakers.
That means you respect your elders, stat. And you can do so with the below kit.
