The Manchester United and England midfielder arrived at GQ Men of the Year in his super villain best. Made of a high-shine black leather, the two-piece consisted of a shirt-jacket top with matching wide-leg trousers.
Continuing Hollywood’s ongoing rebellion against the traditional shirt, Mainoo wore a white vest under the shirt, and added a pair of the brand’s iconic intrecciato leather shoes.
Naturally, there is always a chance that your outfit may look off-key when you wear only one color from head to toe. Mainoo skillfully evaded this risk by using texture to maintain interest. Like his passing skill, the appearance is polished and clean thanks to the leather’s faint sheen and the woven design of his shoes.
The 19-year-old Mainoo is celebrating with his England teammate Cole Palmer, who is wearing Burberry, which is often chilly. Together with Jude Law, Nicole Kidman, and Central Cee—all of whom are Men of the Year cover stars—the two pay tribute to this year’s impressive list of honorees at London’s Roof Gardens.
