Rogues Gallery | Colton Haynes
11:00:00My latest entry to my Rogues Gallery may be an unknown figure to some. Having starred in supernatural and superhero influenced TV series such as Teen Wolf and Arrow, Colton Haynes has managed to pull off one of the trickiest manoeuvres in entertainment, successfully moving from model to actor.

Colton's background in both modelling and acting may have helped shape his personal style; a style which is both brave and yet relaxed.

Louis Vuitton impala mohair sweater SS17
A square jaw, heavy brows and a chiselled physique ensures he sets a moody tone on set or on the red carpet but anyone who follows him on social media knows this is a guy who is not afraid to experiment with style and poke fun at himself. (Check out his Instagram for his Hallowe'en costumes!)
Off-duty style
---
Inspired by the looks above, I've done the hard work for you as usual and pulled a few pieces to help you channel some of Colton's looks (without the Hollywood budget).
Topman wool hat £25
Although James Bay has cornered the market in felt hats, pairing it with a stylish overcoat rather than the ubiquitous leather jacket is refreshing. The combination of the navy coat and muted gold shirt is understated and suave.
River Island tan overcoat £75
Camel coats were THE coat of AW16. It's never really gone out of style so invest in something substantial for your wardrobe. Its versatility means it works as an overcoat with a suit or dressed down with jeans and boots.
Noose and Monkey Pollock jacket £140
Sink the pink in this bold velvet tux jacket. Perhaps more wearable than the salmon suit sported by Colton, this dusky pink would look sharp AF at a spring wedding.
ASOS skinny tonic suit £100
Colton's Armani and Varvatos suits are slick, fitted and black; like any superhero's suit should be. The slight sheen to this tonic suit catches the eye without turning it into something from a 00's footballers wedding.
Everything5Pounds Colour-block eyelash knit sweater £5
This is not a typo. The sweater is a fiver. How many of us have the budget to stretch to new season Louis Vuitton? Tap the colour blocking and texture of that mohair sweater with this steal.
H&M super skinny ripped jeans £29.99
The perfect weekend jeans, these lived-in skinnies will work with almost anything in your wardrobe.

Colton has recently written of his struggles with mental health, addiction and coming to terms with his sexuality. For his efforts in the fashion stakes and for his honesty in living his life, he has secured a place in the Rogues Gallery.
