Louis C.K. is probably today's top comedian yet seems to lack a stylist. We thought he'd be a great example of what we can do for clients. Just click the image to see it larger.
His signature look is the "wild dad" -- the baggy, comfortable dad jeans and basic T-shirt that every guy relates to, with an edge. Onstage he wears that plain black crewneck, black to match his dark brand of humor. His awards show look is a variation of this; see above his all-black tux/suit hybrid at the 2012 Emmys. GQ didn't like it. Here's what we think...
His formal look could be improved through fit -- the suit should be a smaller size to fit the shoulders, and tailored to closely (but comfortably!) fit the torso, sleeves and legs. Unrelieved black doesn't complement his coloring and visually separates his face and body. We would try a black or midnight suit with monochrome accents in muted blue or chocolate. The black T-shirt is his uniform when he performs, probably for branding purposes, which is smart. But those relaxed-fit, faded dad jeans are universal woman repellents (yes I know most men wear them, and sorry it's still true).
Offstage in his personal life he can wear whatever he wants, and since he's single and a celebrity, he would benefit from some better looks. The reddish tones in his hair and skin are striking, and would be upgraded to riveting with the right colors around them. Because he is a star in a creative field, his clothing could express the imaginative range of his persona.
Above, we suggest a variety of still-casual but more appealing clothing options, which can all be worn together -- darker, straight-fit jeans and chinos; t-shirts, polos and sweaters in sophisticated hues; handsome plaid shirts and dashing outerwear; practical but impressive footwear. Plus interesting socks.
