Benedict Cumberbatch knows a good suit and isn’t afraid to wear one.
He looks so good in the things, fans have made blogs dedicated to the winning style equation of Cumberbatch + suits. They’ve also made collages and indexes of his every well-tailored red carpet appearance.
If you’re wondering how he always appears so dapper, the ‘Batch revealed to GQ that “85% of his wardrobe” is from Savile Row tailor Spencer Hart, who he met on the set of ‘Sherlock’ (Hart creates all of Sherlock’s ensembles).
So to celebrate Cumberbatch’s birthday - he turned 40 on Tuesday 19 July - we’ve counted down the top 19 times he completely sold us on suits.
