#18 Best Dressed Man on TV: Jimmy Fallon

While he may still be relatively young, Jimmy Fallon’s rise to stardom over the past decade or so cannot be argued with. Getting his first big break on Saturday Night Live, Fallon has risen to become one of the most popular hosts in late-night television. While it’s no secret that Fallon is a true talent, a lot of people overlook the fact that he also happens to be an exceptionally well-dressed individual. Indeed, Fallon surely knows how to put himself together before appearing in front of a life audience, and should be celebrated for this. Anyone who is looking to take a few cues from Jimmy Fallon’s sense of style will find that doing so doesn’t have to be hard; you can actually gain a lot of insight by learning more about the way Fallon dresses. If his looks appeal to you, consider the following and how you might be able to incorporate these fashion elements into your own individual style.

Embrace the Light-Colored Suit
Jimmy Fallon is known for wearing a wide variety of different types of suits; he never wears the same ensemble two shows in a row. Bearing this in mind, many people believe that Fallon looks his best when wearing light-colored suits. Fallon’s trademark light-grey suit is especially attractive, and sets him apart from many other hosts of late-night television that don’t tend to take this route. His suits tend to be slim-fitting, have traditional notch lapels, and are the exact opposite of the boxy suits that are worn by many other TV hosts. His pants typically either feature a single pleat or no pleat at all. He also tends to wear suits that feature two buttons, leaving the bottom button loose (as suit dictated by suit etiquette). Overall we would categorize his suits as “Classic” – being contemporary and professional, yet not as fashion-forward as the narrow labeled D&G suits Barney Stinson would chose to wear. Most important however, and which was the reason to earn him a spot in our TOP20 Best Dressed Men on TV list, is the excellent fit of his suit. If you are looking to emulate his look, then a trip to a tailor will be in order. Don’t go to the next best tailor but do some research first. Sources like yelp are usually a good starting point.

Go With Bold, Solid Ties
A lot of the contrast that Fallon gets out of his ensembles comes from the bold, solid-colored ties he most often wears. While he is known to occasionally wear ties that feature prints (he’s quite partial to polka dots, actually), more often than not you’ll see Jimmy Fallon in ties that are solid in color and tend to be shiny, bright and bold. A red tie with a satin silk finish, for example, is the perfect pairing for Fallon’s light-grey suits, and looks remarkable when pulled off correctly. Speaking of “correctly”, we applaud Fallon’s perfectly dimpled tie knots (he typically chooses a double Windsor or the Pratt knot for his neckties). While wearing solid ties day after day can get old, there’s something to be said for finding your fashion niche and sticking to it; Fallon found his in solid-colored ties.

Get the Shoes
Take a close look at the outfits that Jimmy Fallon tends to wear, and you’re likely to find that he almost always wears the same type of shoes. Fallon goes with sleek & slim black Italian dress shoes whenever possible, which draw attention to his feet and thus make his entire ensemble pop. This style of shoe is highly versatile, and can be worn with practically any suit (avoid brown suits, however, which can cause clashing). While purchasing a pair will surely set you back a bit monetarily, they’ll last for a very long time when properly cared for and can be worn just about every day.
