At last night’s Academy Awards there was glitz, there was glamour, there was no sign of Sean Penn (too busy smoking), and Sinners and One Battle After Another were the big winners (sorry Timothée). There were also some standout looks from Hollywood’s leading men – Best Actor nominee Leonardo DiCaprio showed up sporting a fancy little moustache. Shades of ivory and champagne appeared to be a theme, including a few brave all-white attempts and a touch of pastel velvet, along with brooches, big trousers and floppy bow ties, or no bow ties at all.

Oscar nominations always provoke hot debate and outrage in the WhatsApp groups of cinephiles. This year, that discourse seemed to focus around whether Sinners – up for 16 gongs – could destroy the story of the much-hyped Marty Supreme (up for nine). And with it, redemption for Timothée Chalamet, after a perceived slight last year when he missed out on Best Actor for A Complete Unknown to Adrian Brody for The Brutalist.

A Bathing Ape hoodie, Stüssy T-shirt, raw Edwin selvedge jeans – never washed, you have to get those personalised fades; pin rolled, you have to show off the sneakers; sagged, well, because – and Air Jordan 3 retros. Maybe True Blues, pristine clean. And probably a fitted baseball cap. Circa 2008, this was my uniform, a hip-hop head, sneaker collector and all-round hypebeast.

There’s nothing quite like sunglasses for adding the finishing touch to an outfit. But with so many styles to choose from, finding the pair that’s right for you can seem like an impossibly daunting task. It’s not just the practical concerns you have to keep in mind, such as how well they’ll protect your eyes from the sun or how they’ll complement the shape of your face.
