If you’re still adjusting to Sir Lewis Hamilton in Ferrari’s rosso corsa, note that the driver himself seems quite taken with the colour. During qualifying for the Australian Grand Prix last month, Sir Lewis was spotted in head-to-toe Bottega Veneta drip that steered into the red regalia of his new team, with an oversized checked overshirt and oxblood leather shoes. And it’s a look that you can buy here, now – rather than wait another year to see on Drive To Survive.

In a recent interview, Guy Remmers claimed that he’s got the gift of the gab. Which may be the case, but here, he lets his sense of style do the talking. Last week, he stepped out at the Brioni x MR PORTER event in celebration of the Italian brand’s 80th anniversary wearing a lustrous two-piece from the label’s exclusive capsule. Name someone who looks just as smart in a modern take on the Harrington jacket as he would in a three-piece suit… We can wait.

In Steven Soderbergh’s new spy wheeze, Black Bag, Michael Fassbender plays a British operative tasked with plugging a high-security leak, with his wife, played by Cate Blanchett, among the suspects. Thankfully, Fassbender didn’t turn up to the New York premiere wearing a black bag. Rather, a dashing striped three-quarter, double-breasted suit and skinny tie by Dior. As for the coloured sunglasses, there’s no hiding behind a piece of hardware by Jacques Marie Mage. Now that’s the kind of asset we’d hope to handle in the field.

With an average of around two years between films, the next Pedro Almodóvar joint can’t be too far away. Indeed, his follow up to The Room Next Door is said to be a Christmas movie – and just maybe ours came extra early with this appearance. The signatures are there: dark glasses, blouson jacket and sneakers as white as his hair, all key pieces that the Spanish director has in his locker. The twist here is a pared-back colour palette and refined materials, with the jacket hewn from a glossy leather.

Mastering the art of layering is key in the trans-seasonal months, and few do it better than A$AP Rocky. The normcore combination of sporty layers up top – half-zip fleece and rain parka – paired with firmly pressed trousers and Derbies mean that the guy truly knows how to dress for any occasion. The details matter: a crocheted, peter pan-collar blouse by Miu Miu, a Patek Philippe Nautilus watch that perfectly matches the royal blue of the trousers and statement jewellery.

Finally, British singer-songwriter Sampha, who’s certainly pinned down the shade that works for him. He’s opted for a fisherman-style, utility-inspired safari jacket from Lacoste that’s polished enough not to look out of place over a knitted polo. Matching trousers, low-key sneakers and a well-chosen set of accessories tie in this tonal look perfectly.
