While he keeps a low profile off-screen, we capture Jim Sturgess’ personal style while on a stroll, on the red carpet, and of course, on our cover. Join us as we count down our top three favorite looks from British looker  and STATUS cover boy.

May object of obsession Jim Sturgess has taken on a variety of roles on the silver screen: from a rugged rocker, a dapper charmer, to a fur-rocking, mutton leg-eating Tudor heartthrob.

Now it’s time to detach him from the screen as we say ‘Happy Birthday, Jim!’ by decoding the honest-to-goodness Jim Sturgess signature style.—DALLAS DEEPKISS

Cover Boy

Sure it’s for a shoot and it’s on our cover, but we’re loving the polished yet laid-back look on Jim. Best thing about it is that doesn’t really fall far from what usually see him in. Keep it cool and downplayed with a crisp white button-down with a slouchy double-breasted jacket and jeans. Don’t forget to make it more playful with a pair of low-cut sneakers.

A Walk In The Park

You can’t get any more real than this. Just Jim, strolling by sidewalk on what looks like a very chill afternoon. In classic Jim, he keeps things casual with a denim-on-denim ensemble. Just make sure you take a leaf from his book and break that monotone block by layering in different shades. Finally, give it a twist with some stripes and suede sneakers.

Red Carpet Ready

Walking the red carpet in a sharp suit and killer accessories can definitely shoot up any guy’s standing from boy next door to debonair and dapper. Take some cues from Mr. Sturgess and avoid looking bulky or old by slipping into a jacket that fits you to a T. A skinny tie chucks the office vibes out the window but still keeps you looking like a sir.
