A quiz inspired by some men in film with really great style

Summertime and the livin’ is easy…especially if you dress for it.

The season is just about to move into full swing and it won’t be long until you have trips and back-to-back summer activities on your mind. For sure you’ll want to be unbothered once you switch to vacation mode, so now is the perfect time to get your summer ducks in a row. As early as now, you can tick “summer outfits” off your list, actually.

Our mantra is this: a non-boring summer equals a non-boring wardrobe, but don’t worry not; you won’t have to try anything too outrageous here. Instead, we’ll pair you with a movie character, whose memorable style jives with yours. Think of this as finding out who your style match (made in movie heaven) is. Because really, who better to take cues from than the fellas who have realistic summer style down pat? They’re sharp, well-dressed and well-groomed gentlemen (who might as well put some sloppily dressed 20-something’s to shame).

What’s Your Summer Tito Style?

Felipe (Javier Bardem) from Eat Pray Love is your style match.

Just because you’re a low-maintenance traveler doesn’t mean you stop finding joy in dressing up. While your summer wardrobe is certainly more function than fashion, you still make it a point to inject fun through color choices and accessories. You can never go wrong with a crisp linen shirt either!

Your summer style is ‘90s normcore like Melvin Udall (Jack Nicholson) from As Good As It Gets.

Your go-to combo is a plain white tee underneath a printed button-down shirt. One way to describe it: it’s equal parts “I might go golfing or have brunch, but who knows, really” and Balenciaga Spring 2018 menswear.

You’ve got the effortless summer style of Mr. Perlman (Michael Stuhlbarg) from Call Me by Your Name.

A monochromatic outfit is a classic and you know it. Earth tones are your friend, so you enjoy mixing and matching your neutrals with deep blue grays and moss greens. You aren’t fond of complicated styling, so you stick to other timeless pieces like the boat shoe, wire-frame eyeglasses and the classic wristwatch.

You’re probably just as dapper as Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio) from The Great Gatsby.

You enjoy dressing to the nines and that’s a trait we wish more men should acquire. We’re not saying you have to commit to the three-piece suit like Mr. Gatsby, but there are ways to dress sharp even in the summer. Your best bets are off-whites (which instantly look luxurious and polished), knits or a lightweight linen or cotton blazer.
