When we think of Ian’s style, suit ensembles that highlight his tall stature spring to mind. The simple yet eye-catching black suit he wore for Louis Vuitton Men’s Spring/Summer 2022 campaign was unforgettable. The loose fit silhouette, bold aeroplane motifs and black boots—all get big ticks from us.

Ian sometimes surprised us with colourful suit looks too. During Mirror’s “One & All” Live 2021 Concert, he was spotted wearing a brightly hued suit from Alexander McQueen which was hard to pull off but it worked on him, giving us major prince vibes. 

2. Sweater weather

There’s one thing Ian does like no other, and that’s his bold approach to styling sweaters. From rocking the winter wardrobe staple in vibrant hues, to elevating the outfit with statement accessories and keeping things stylish by layering a sweater vest on top of a hoodie, he surely knows how to make any sweater look feel instantly stylish.

Ian may look cold at first glance because of his relatively quiet personality, but really, you only have to look at his warm smiles and the way he expressed gratitude to his fans, to see the sweet side of him. You can observe how Ian’s charismatic personality shine through in whatever he wears, especially pieces featuring bold colour palettes and patterns. And this head-to-toe Fendi look is just one of the many examples.

4. Classic denim look

To anyone who thought denim was boring, look at this outfit Ian wore for Montblanc’s Explorer Ultra Blue fragrance campaign. The classic light blue denim jacket and white t-shirt combo is simple yet so fashionable.  

5. Flawless in black and white

Ian raised the stakes on black and white fashion with the outfit he wore for Jimmy Choo’s event last month. He went for a classic look but kept to his personal fashion formula, pairing an oversized white shirt with slim-fit black trousers, swapping out sneakers for chunky loafers instead to add a touch of drama to the outfit.

Ian's casual take on the timeless black and white colour combination is equally impressive. We love the way how he styled a Valentino jacket with a white shirt neatly tucked into black trousers.

6. Cool streetstyle

We don’t see Ian wear bucket hats as often anymore—but can we take a moment to appreciate how cool his street style looks were last year when he was very into the trend? Off-duty, he often sported white t-shirts, sneakers and bucket hats from his own clothing label for a minimal look that feels runway ready.  

7. Stylish hoodies
