The proper navy blue blazer can be single or double-breasted and looks best in a three-button style. The proper blazer requires side-vents. Italian versions can have no vent at all, but I find this a bit fast.
Tom Ford, who is my all-time favourite, once said to me, 'Here's the thing about dress shirts, Rob. You need white, and you need black.' 'What about blue,' I asked. He said, 'Have you ever seen Cary Grant in a blue dress shirt?'
It's downright undignified how many blazers I've bought over the years. And will continue to buy. They immediately give shape and add authority. With the perfect blazer, anything is possible.
I love the opportunity to get properly dressed up. I've worn three Lanvin dresses, and they've all been a dream. They're so well made, with the most beautiful craftsmanship. I don't tend to go with things that are ornate - just beautifully made pieces and some classic jewelry. Let the work speak for itself. I love that.
Good suits don't come from anywhere, though - I mainly wear Armani, Louis Vuitton and Burberry.
Wearing a tuxedo isn't as simple as it sounds. I've been to a lot of award shows in Hollywood over the years and have seen some pretty sad tuxes. It's surprisingly easy to go off the rails.
I've always been a fan of Saint Laurent because I like how their jeans fit on me, but as far as high fashion, I don't wear too much high fashion. I like more streetwear and baggier stuff.
The very best khakis are made by Bills Khakis.
I hated suits until I wore a Calvin Klein; they just fit me.
My vintage Levi's are my favorite on the show, 'cause they really fit.
The clothes back in those days were made so much better than clothes are today. They actually took time to make clothes to fit a woman's body. Today they make clothes that fit sizes, so it stretches to fit this and that.
Personally, I'm very classic. If I'm going to wear a suit, it's going to be classic, black, and fit very well. There's nothing like it.
Zegna has the perfect weight fabric. There are a lot of designers who make clothes that are a little too heavy. They feel heavy. They almost feel like a coat.
I love a good fitted suit. England is known for men who can wear good suits.
Now that I'm an actor and I have movies, press, I have more occasions to wear suits. I like wearing suits.
I'm booby and kind of curvy, so I definitely need to wear things that work with that. I can't just put on a muumuu, because it looks crazy on me.
I think good tailoring and something that's well-made never gets boring or tiring.
I prefer clothes with a waist rather than boxy shapes.
I'm into the whole American and New York vibe, not just because that's what's going on around me but because of the fit. A lot of guys are into the European cut, but I can't really pull that off with my body type - I'm tall and have big legs.
A lot of people think a high armhole is restrictive, but it gives you total movement because it's cut right up to your arm.
I like feminine suits with unexpected details.
Spring 2010 is the second season that I'm showing the double-breasted suit. I think the right double-breasted suit is young again.
I've worn dresses from all different price ranges, and the thing that couture dresses have in common is that the fit is amazing.
I like things that feel like they're timeless and really well made and tailored... things that make me feel confident when I leave the house.
Hugo Boss is one of those brands that fits me perfectly.
