They say your style gets less adventurous as you get older, but nobody says that about Brad Pitt.
Pitt rocked up to the Venice Film Festival this weekend to promote his new film, Wolfs, a high-energy buddy movie, also starring his high-energy buddy George Clooney. The co-stars (and co-GQ cover stars) hit the Lido red carpet together for the premiere of the film. But enough scene setting, we want to talk about the suit.

For the red carpet, Pitt picked up a sweet custom set by Louis Vuitton. The suit continued Venice’s little unspoken menswear pact of forgoing the traditional shirt-and-tie, instead going for a slightly-sheer black cotton T-shirt, worn underneath a single-button dinner jacket. Don’t forget the shimmering pearl button, too, for a nice touch.
And while it’s easy to get riled up about Pitt’s sheer shirt and well-cut blazer, may we direct you a little further down to his flared trousers?

Following on from the minor bootcut revelation kick started by Bill Skarsgård last week, Pitt also had a touch of fun with trouser shapes, going for a gently-flared trouser that maintained a bit of looseness around the thighs before kicking out around the knees, pooling over his square-toed boots. It’s not quite the ’70s bell-bottoms that would scandalize suiting traditionalists, but it’s a great shape that creates movement and curves around the body, adding a touch of interest while keeping things classic and suave.
After his ’90s suit served as inspiration for Louis Partridge’s heartthrob Prada fit, there’s no better proof that Pitt has still got it, 30 years later.
