00:00 The Talented Mr. Ripley Fil Review Introduction

For menswear fans and film buffs alike, The Talented Mr. Ripley from 1999 is one to watch for its unique and beguiling plot, impeccable cast, and interesting take on 1950s style.

00:31 The Talented Mr. Ripley Menswear Review

The Talented Mr. Ripley made it into our list of 17 Movies Menswear Enthusiasts Must Watch from the 70s to 2010s and it stars Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jude Law, and Philip Seymour Hoffman. The movie is based on the 1955 novel of Patricia Highsmith by the same name. Interestingly, Highsmith wrote four other books following the exploits of the main character Tom Ripley. Therefore, they’re also known as the “Ripliad.”

While there’s lots of sartorial eye candy in this movie, today we’re going to focus on the main characters:

Tom Ripley played by Matt Damon
→ 02:44 Class of 1956 Blazer
→ 03:15 White Uniform Jacket
→ 03:38 Sing-breasted, Two-button Corduroy Jacket
→ 04:39 Oxford Cloth Shirt and Trousers
→ 05:24 Moscot Originals Eyeglasses
→ 06:24 Pebble-grain, Split-toe Derby Shoes
→ 07:15 Charcoal Grey Wool Suit
→ 08:05 Hamilton Ardmore Watch
→ 08:40 Pork Pie Hat with Black Tie Outfit
→ 09:08 50s Riviera Look
→ 09:37 Raglan Overcoat
→ 11:04 Dark Suit with White Shirt and Dark Tie
→ 11:30 Corduroy Jacket with Peak Lapels
→ 11:55 Evening Wear
→ 12:46 Other Outfits

Peter Smith-Kingsley played by Jack Davenport
→ 21:18 Evening Wear
→ 21:52 Brown Raglan Overcoat
→ 22:01 Business Suit
→ 22:13 Olive Green Duffle Coat

Overall, The Talented Mr. Ripley is a wonderful movie, not only for its storyline and the filming. It doesn’t have the typical 90s vibe, especially in terms of clothing that you typically get. It looks very timeless and period-accurate in my mind, even 22 years later. While not everything is 100% accurate, it is overall fairly accurate. And you can tell that they did a really great job of getting things right pre-internet, I might add.

What we like the most about The Talented Mr. Ripley is that they use clothes to portray subtleties much more so than other movies do. And as a clotheshorse, we just love it.
