Penguin is by far the best dressed villian of all time. Top hats, tailored 3 peice suits, minocular etc. How he never made the list is crazy. Black mask, two face, riddler, kingpin, scar face all deserved honourable mentions.
Let's be real, cloaks are the single best pieces of menswear ever created. I wear mines as a ''raincoat'' and it never fails to attract all the attention and compliments (and occasional vampire comments, such is the way of the cloak).
I have an amazing cashmere wool cloak from Morocco and in winter time it comes out.. I love it and catch a lot of compliments on it. It is a brown colour and I feel if it was black that it would get a few negative comments. I love overcoats almost as much and have one custom gray overcoat with a maroon half cape on the back for ceremonial occasions. Its eid today so I'm actually wearing it today which is great because it is just too fancy or daily wear
Dear Squirellian, "...cloaks are the single best pieces of menswear ever created." Uh, excuse me, they are for women, too. :-) But, I do agree with you.
When I played a Roman Soldier we had red shoulder-to-heel cloaks that swept out majestically as we moved. You feel almost royal.. Those Romans - had it all!
Inconceivable as it may seem Bela Lugosi was my babysitter. I was born in LA and he was our next door neighbor. Imagine how strange the conversation went when while watching Abbott & Costello meet Frankenstein, my Dad says “Hey there’s your Babysitter!”
Dracula will always be a classic! I also agree with Joker. What about The Riddler? He's seen briefly at the end of the video but the question marks and Green suits are definitely stylish. He even wore purple trousers in some variations which is pretty bold. Hope you all enjoy your weekend.
@@gentlemansgazette Fantastic! Looking forward to it Preston. Wonderful job on this channel as always! It's helped me step up my style. It gets extremely hot out here in AZ so I've added Linens and Polos among other garments. Warm regards to you all.
@@herbertsmagon5777 I completely agree with you but no worries. Based on their response it seems they will touch on it further in a future video. Thanks for your comment.
Let’s not forget about the Phantom of the Opera! His Red Death suit was luxurious! Come to think of it, it’s be cool to see a video just about Phantom clothing in general! Also Downton Abbey!
From the evening wear from the Pinguin to the split-vertically suits of Two-face, Batman's villains are always dressed to impress, but none can outshine the clown Prince of crime
Man, I LOVED that red suit with the yellow vest that Joaquin Phoenix's Joker wore in the 2019 movie. It compliments the green hair so well and makes it look somehow more natural of a hair color to me.
@12:52 it is interesting that the actor who played Red Grant, Robert Shaw, went on to play Captain Quint, who was obsessed with killing the Shark in Jaws.
I must say that Preston’s red paisley tie, with that large knot went with the rest of his outfit extremely well. Bravo! Bella Lugosi as a well dressed villain was a great choice, though I am surprised that you didn’t reach into the gangster films of the 1930s for one of your choices.
What an awesome take and intriguing video this one was, I was always hoping for something more off the beaten track like this! And it was even more fitting that Preston was the one who did it, the narration is spot-on for the theme of this video!
Immediately recognise a fine Hannibal Lecter costume on Preston, it actually suits him rather well! I must admit, I've always had a bit of a fascination with his bold Prince of Wales suits and paisley ties :)
Lon Cheney Jr. As the Wolfman. People too easily forget how much of a wolfish dandy he was as a plain human. Well dressed down to the Chekhov's Gun that was his Silver Wolf's Head Cane. Also the attire of the OG Invisible Man. When he did wear clothes, he wore very formal attire. Perhaps as a contrast to his stealthy skills and to further accentuate his flamboyant behavior.
Honestly, I'd love to see a critique of the clothing for the First Doctor (William Hartnell 1963-1966) and the Third Doctor (Jon Pertwee 1970-1974) from Doctor Who!
The Original Wall St. Gordon Gecko. Banker collar shirt, collar tie pin, suspenders, Brook's Brothers ..I was in the city during that time, my father was a executive with IBM on Madison ave. It was a great time to be young and in the city. The Brooks Brothers on Madison was so classic. You went up in the oak walled elevators and when the door opened there was a Brooks brothers suited men to ask you if you need help..It was like a personal shopper...You have refreshments tea coffee right there on the floor. The only other place that I have seen lately do that is Ralph Laurens men's store.
James Coburn's character in Stanley Donen's wonderful Charade is a favorite. Hitchcock's films are full of well dressed villains. Instead of running down the list, I'll just say that James Mason in North by Northwest is a standout.
Hannibal is, of course, unavoidable. However, I think his wardrobe in the Silence of the Lambs sequel, Hannibal, shows a more refined look than the character in the show.
Have to admit that Anthony Perkins as Hannibal in the film wore his prison jumpsuit well. He’s snobbishly dignified. Plus, his snide observation about Clarice’s shoes and bag will always linger.
@@gentlemansgazette the "air tie" certainly has its place and he pulls it off (I've tried, it's not for me). His beige outfit was what I was thinking of specifically, as well as the letter he sent on bespoke paper coated in bespoke scent. Dripping with elegance 🙂
In Batman 1989 you can also see the joker in some form of distorted morning dress, in the scene with the pen. He's wearing a velvet tailcoat with silk faced lapels, black and white checked trousers, a white waistcoat, a huge buttonhole and a black top hat.
Yay, this was great fun! I do very much enjoy a Preston video -- always so engaging! And who doesn't love a good villain?! I suggest including Amahl Farouk from the TV show Legion in any future villain style round-ups you might put together. I'd be tempted to say that you dropped the ball not including him here, but I know that Legion is pretty obscure as shows go and that not a comparatively large number of people will have seen it. Amahl Farouk's suits and accessories are INCREDIBLE though, and he is just a great and fascinating character and antagonist to boot. The show as a whole has a ridiculous amount of classically-inspired menswear goodness in it. The suits of characters Oliver Bird (Jemaine Clement) and Cary Loudermilk (Bill Irwin) spring to mind especially. I'm pretty sure you could easily put together a whole video on 'The Style of Legion' should you wish, but I understand there may not be the appetite for it. It's the Marvel Cinematic / Television Universe's best-kept secret!
Sounds like you're in the mood for our video on stylish gangster movies! You can watch it here. -Preston www.gentlemansgazette.com/stylish-gangster-movies/?
The gangsters in the movie "mobsters ". Bosses and upcomers...I actually learned and to examples from watching mafia movies, because I love the Italian design. But just the doublebreasted jackets. Also there's an old movie "The youngest Godfather ". Every suit that the actor betrayed Joe banano (hope I spelled that right). There are lots of examples that I adopted with hats and coats to match..and my best and favorite tie are paisley. In the movies I also they make me so jealous because I can't find those ties, so I get close to the ideal look.
“There are definite do’s and don’ts good buddy of wearing a bold striped shirt. A bold striped shirt calls for darker, discreetly patterned suits and ties.”
I clicked on this vid Preston because I immediately knew you were dressing as Hannibal! Could Gentleman's Gazette please consider a video dedicated to how to dress as hannibal? Please??
@@gentlemansgazette A related request: a video on wine would be amazing, just so someone can become hannibal (in moderation) as well as dress like him!
I Cosplay Nicholson’s Joker, I had the suits made from very similar fabrics he had in the movie, my outfits are 98% accurate to his tailored suits as mine are tailored as well
I want to see a style breakdown of Ghostbusters. William Atherton was im”peck”ably dressed, as was Harold Ramis. Rick Moranis pulled a bit from classic menswear. The sequel also had a few fine moments in the courtroom and Bill Murrays date with Sigorney Weaver. The rest of the cast pulled off some decent sport coats when out of their flightsuits.
Another great Preston Video. Well done. But I'm surprised you didn't make the "Jaws" connection more obvious. The villain in From Russia With Love is played by Robert Shaw. He was also Captain Quint from the Orca boat in the movie Jaws. He was one of the three main characters.
Thanks to Gentleman's Gazette , l'm starting to like suits and more vintage styled of clothes , l used to dislike suits cause l thought that the looked ''Too Profesional'' or ''Too Cocky'' , but now l start to view them in a more positive light .
I cannot agree more that Mads Mikkelsen here has an amazing suit. I checked the original suits and ties he wore, and they are a little weird outside of the camera. I have to take notice to your tie as well, I love this one. Could you tell where you got this tie? it's amazing. (I love the shoes too)
Suggestion: if there are going to be any other videos in this series, it would be great to make one that focuses on suits in k-dramas! The are some very interesting and beautiful suit designs for the villains in Vincenzo, My Name, and Itaewon Class, to name a few of the k-drams that are readily available in North America.
I think you should talk about the fashion of Gustavo Fring in Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul! Especially in Better Call Saul since it´s quite recent :) I´d love it
I would love a dedicated video about mikkelsens hannibal and how he combines colors and patterns! i dont know how many times i watched the series just for the suits.
I'm watching Hannibal right now. Someone said the peak lapels on his suit jackets are meant to be like the Devil's horns... I noticed as well in the episodes where he is in a more "country" or woodland environment he wears a kind of zip or quarter zip pullover under his sport coat. He also pops the pullover's collar so it looks even more devilish.
@@gentlemansgazette My apologies, watching this video again I realised you did say about the horns! I'm sorry about that, I was reading too many articles and got confused
Excellent idea for a video! I would love if you make a list of the best dressed Rock musicians ever, I’m thinking of Interpol and David Bowie (thin white duke era)
One outfit that paid homage to its silly comic book origins but adapted to the big screen was Mark Strongs Dr. Sivana . He wore his mad scientist costume below a purple suit and covered it in a leather trench coat.
Penguin is by far the best dressed villian of all time. Top hats, tailored 3 peice suits, minocular etc. How he never made the list is crazy. Black mask, two face, riddler, kingpin, scar face all deserved honourable mentions.

Glad to know someone rocks cloaks
I’m not at that level yet but have been wearing some hooded coats on my shoulders.

This Lecter guy seems legit. I bet he would make a great doctor.
He hosts great dinner parties I hear

Mycroft in Sherlock 2014!

Also Downton Abbey!
Speaking of evening cloaks -- lest we forget Darth Vader's flowing robes. They ooze confidence, power, and evil.
This video's script makes me feel like I am drowning in puns, and I LOVE IT
From the evening wear from the Pinguin to the split-vertically suits of Two-face, Batman's villains are always dressed to impress, but none can outshine the clown Prince of crime

9:30 😂😂 oh Preston
I would have loved to see Robert Shaw as Doyle Lonnegan from “the Sting”
I think it was already mentioned in some previous GG video that Auric Goldfinger was very well-dressed. Also, the Penguin is wearing white tie a lot.
I loved your reaction to Leto's Joker.
God, I love this dandy-fancyman channel. I'm off to Thailand, and will be dressing as such. Kisses x
Yaphet Koto's villain in Live and Let die rocked a few looks given he had a secret identity.
You present the topics so well. It's a pleasure to listen and watch you. Thanks.
Loved it Preston, and you look fantastic!
Are the wider, more bold ties of the 70's coming back into vogue?
Thanks again!
Lisa
Ties of any size are more or less out of style these days
Could you guys make a Guide about cloaks, please?
Inverness Cloak
and leather trenchcoats
Riddler from BTAS had a great suit.
Henry Morgan from the show "Forever"!!!
What majestic suits he had I swear!
THis was really fun. I've always thought villains dress so well lol
My favourite is Charles Gray in a Mao suit as Blofeld in "Diamonds Are Forever"
Mr. Wilford played by Sean Bean in the Snowpiercer show always wears nice suits and cold weather ensembles.
What an awesome take and intriguing video this one was, I was always hoping for something more off the beaten track like this! And it was even more fitting that Preston was the one who did it, the narration is spot-on for the theme of this video!
Glad you mentioned Red Grant from the James Bond film From Russia With Love, who I think was the best bond villain henchman.

Jack Nicholson purple 3 piece db suit was quiet cool, Gary Oldman frock coat outfit also looked cool.
Preston is a good man with great taste!
You could take a look at Wilson Fisk in the tv series Daredevil, portrayed by Vincent D'Onofrio .

How about Hans Gruber? The iconic "Die Hard" villain dressed up in a very elegant way for the heist. Hair and beard well lined up too.
