The 9 best-dressed movies and drama ever seen on the screen

We get a lot of ideas from movies. When you see one of these movies, you immediately want to dress up like them.

It’s just a nicely tailored suit on screen that makes you want to refine your own style. It’s no surprise these movies stay popular for so long. And it only happens when men dress by men.

From Wall Street’s chaos to British refinement, you'd better take notes from the list.

Here’s a closer look at the movies that defined style and class on and off screen.

American Excess

The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)

Leonardo DiCaprio’s Jordan Belfort made greed look good. His wardrobe was stacked with double-breasted power suits, striped ties, and cufflinks that screamed Wall Street in the ’90s. Each outfit reflected not just wealth, but an entire culture of reckless ambition.

Scarface (1983)

Al Pacino’s Tony Montana embodied the American dream with Cuban fire. From the famous white suit to his flashy silk shirts and bold three-piece ensembles, Montana’s style was fearless and unforgettable, a wardrobe as dangerous as the man himself.

The Great Gatsby (2013)

In Baz Luhrmann’s fresh interpretation of Fitzgerald’s classic, we saw pastel linen suits, tuxedos, and elegant tailoring fit for champagne. Leonardo DiCaprio’s character, Jay Gatsby, displayed his wealth through fabric, wearing Brooks Brothers designs that reflected the stunning yet doomed allure of the Jazz Age.

Crime Sophistication

The Godfather Trilogy (1972–1990)

From Don Vito’s tuxedos to Michael Corleone’s dark suits, The Godfather set the gold standard for mafia fashion. Tailoring was precise, fabrics rich, and accessories subtle, style that showed control and authority, never excess.

Goodfellas (1990)

Scorsese’s gangster classic put flash on display. Henry Hill and his crew favored colorful silk shirts, wide lapels, and bold patterns. Their fashion was equal parts street and sophistication, a look that mirrored the chaotic, greedy lives they lived.

The Irishman (2019)

Martin Scorsese’s later crime saga dialed down the flash but doubled the class. Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, and Joe Pesci wore muted suits, long overcoats, and understated tailoring, a subtle nod to the quiet but lethal power of old-school mobsters.

British Refinement

James Bond: No Time to Die (2021)

Daniel Craig’s final outing as 007 was also his sharpest. Tom Ford suits, sleek tuxedos, and perfectly fitted jackets reminded us that Bond’s most dangerous weapon might just be his impeccable tailoring.

Peaky Blinders (2013–2022)

Cillian Murphy and the Shelby clan made three-piece suits, long coats, and newsboy caps iconic again. Inspired by Brummies, their razor-sharp tailoring brought 1920s Birmingham style back into modern fashion, influencing everything from runways to streetwear.

The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (2015)

Guy Ritchie’s spy thriller was pure 1960s elegance. From double-breasted jackets to slim-cut suits and chic turtlenecks, the film balanced vintage class with modern cool. Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer didn’t just play spies, they dressed like style Ralph Lauren models.

From Tony Montana’s flamboyance to James Bond’s sharp tuxedos, these movies prove that fashion is timeless on screen.
