Tom Ford
The look: A trim suit, white shirt, and not a laser-precision-trimmed hair out of place. Not even at the airport.

Marc Jacobs
The look: It used to be a white shirt and a skirt-y bottom of some sort. Now that he's mellowed out a bit, it's a white shirt and a regular dark suit.

Thom Browne
The look: Like the 37th von Trapp kid if he had access to a tailor who wasn't prone to getting scissor-happy with the curtains. (In case you're worried he'll catch a cold, he switches out the shorts for capris in colder weather.)
