Best Dressed Men at the Grammy’s 2013: Adam Levine

Adam Levin Makes it on Our Best-Dressed List During this Year’s Grammy Awards

When celebrities attend award shows, they know that they need to do everything possible in order to dress their best. This isn’t always easy, however, as there is a lot of competition at many of these shows to be best-dressed, and it’s not difficult to fall into the mistake of trying too hard to look good. Adam Levine of Maroon 5 certainly didn’t make any mistakes when he put together his ensemble for the 2013 Grammy’s, as he proved to be one of the best-dressed men in the celebrity sphere today. It just goes to show that looking good certainly does matter when you’re in the public eye. Below are a few aspects of Levine’s style at the Grammy’s, as well as how to get it yourself.

Adam-Levine-Grammys-2013
Well done Mr Levine! Your monochromatic black-tie look landed you on our best-dressed list. We especially like the play on scale of wider peak lapels with a larger butterfly bow tie. The mother of pearl shirt buttons add contrast and elegance.

A Monochromatic Look
It is certainly true that from a traditional black tie look, Levine committed plenty of Faux Pas. But for those interested in fashion forward style, Levine’s look was nothing short of applaud-worthy. The perfect tailoring of the tux, the monochromatic black look, and the suede dress shoes are all things that stood out to us.

A Lanvin Tux
Sometimes a designer’s name is all it takes in order to put someone into their own category when walking the red carpet, and Adam Levine clearly knows this. His approach to red carpet fashion included wearing a black on black Lanvin tux, which was surely one of the most attractive pieces to show up at the Grammy’s this year. The tux is perfectly tailored to compliment his body type, and the pronounced peak lapels add unique detail to the tailoring that makes this piece stand out from the crowd. The tux wouldn’t have been complete without the black suede shoes and stylish butterfly black bow tie that he incorporated into the look, each of which helped to pull the ensemble together effectively.

Dark Shades
If you’re going to wear an all black tux, you may as well take things all the way by incorporating a pair of dark black sunglasses into the ensemble. This is the kind of thing that doesn’t work for everyone, but for a rock star like Levine, it doesn’t have to be difficult at all. In fact, the shades (Wayfarers, of course) really helped to add an even stronger air of confidence to his appearance, and the look wouldn’t have been the same without them. It may have been a gutsy move, but they played perfectly off of his Lanvin tux.

Takeaways for the Modern Man
Levine is a great example of how an all-black look can truly be cool and sophisticated all at once. Much of this had to do with the sunglasses that he added to the ensemble, which may or may not work in certain situations (don’t ever do this at a truly formal event; awards shows such as the Grammy’s are different). Be sure to work with a tailor to ensure that the pieces fit you properly, as a loose all-black tux can be very sloppy looking.
