“Manners Maketh Man” - Men's Style Review of "Kingsman: The Golden Circle"

About this video

The Gazette team analyzes the menswear styling in Kingsman: The Golden Circle, examining how closely the film adheres to classic men’s style principles through detailed breakdowns of each main character’s wardrobe. They assess what the film gets right and wrong regarding tailoring, black tie dress codes, and formal menswear conventions, ultimately concluding that while the film offers less menswear inspiration than its predecessor, it can serve as an accessible entry point to classic menswear for younger audiences.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team argues that many of Eggsy’s black tie ensembles violate classic menswear standards, including wearing a regular dress shirt instead of a formal tuxedo shirt and an orange velvet dinner jacket with vents, which should be ventless
• The Gazette team observes that the film features less overall wardrobe variety for Kingsman agents and relies more heavily on costumes for supporting characters like the villains and Statesman agents, moving away from classic menswear principles
• The Gazette team contends that despite being less entertaining than the first film, Kingsman: The Golden Circle still conveys that being a gentleman requires more than looking good—it demands being well-rounded, educated, and respectful in manners and conversation
