Dapper Devil: Lucifer’s Tom Ellis Shows Off the Spring’s Standout Suits

Tom Ellis, who plays the Devil himself on Lucifer, shows off six new suiting trends that are hotter than Hades.

1. Go Black Tie

Admit it, your tuxedo doesn’t get enough play. So the next time you’re ready for a night on the town, try dressing it down with an unbuttoned collar and a subtle pocket square.

2. Get In Line

A chalk stripe is a little wider than a traditional pinstripe, and a little less rigid. Find some on a steely blue suit and make it your new go-to for the office.

3. Dark For Day

Black suits: they’re not just for funerals anymore. Get one in lightweight wool and a relaxed cut, then throw on a white T-shirt and a pair of slick white kicks. That’s a killer look.

4. Shine On

A grey suit is a workhorse and should already be in your rotation. But you could use another — this time with a bit of shine. We’re not talking A Night at the Roxbury levels of blinding gloss, just a bit of sheen to get yourself noticed.

5. Go for Broke

Looking to spice things up at a fancy event? A double-breasted tuxedo is an easy way to show off your sartorial prowess and stand out from all of the other penguins. Bow tie required.

6. Try Texture

First rule: don’t try this with navy. Second rule: go light- weight and big on texture — a seersucker, for example — to add some depth to your suit. Third rule: accessorize with texture, too.
