"Ben Affleck is proving to be more of an enigma than we previously thought\u2014and we like it. The man wears Harry Potter T-shirts\u2014often (like, yesterday). He may or may not have the world&amp;#39;s best/worst tattoo. Then again, he also knows a thing or two about suiting up for big time-y events like the Oscars. So when the man tuns up on set for his new prohibition-era movie Live By Night in one very generous off-white double-breasted suit and a matching kingpin fedora, well, we take notice. \n\nIs this a costume for a period movie? Of course it is. But it&amp;#39;s also a reminder of why guys (thankfully) stopped dressing like this. The whole thing is an example of what not to wear\u2014or more accurately how not to wear a double-breasted suit. (And if you need a primer on what to do, click here). Just like his baggy sweats from yesterday&amp;#39;s tough off-duty dad look, this suit is far too large. So while we&amp;#39;re not going to actually knock the guy for putting on what is probably a historically-accurate kit, there are still some lessons here that every guy\u2014even you, modern male reader\u2014can take away from this look:\n\n\u2022 It&amp;#39;s too big. Probably two sizes too big. The giveaway is those shoulder seams, which are at least three inches away from his natural shoulder. \n\n\u2022 His pale pink shirt and textured beige linen tie are way too close to his skin tone and the color of the suit. When this happens, the wearer will inevitably look sickly and pale\u2014a.k.a. not good. \n\n\u2022 That fedora is just too old fashioned looking. If you want to top off your best suited look today, best to opt for a hat with a smaller crown (the middle part). It will be more urban hipster than 1930&amp;#39;s safari hunter. \n\nIf it were up to us we&amp;#39;d get him some dark jeans and a fitted button-up shirt to wear with those ace brown leather lace-up shoes. But in reality we know he&amp;#39;s just gonna throw on his too tight wizard shirt as soon as the director (Affleck himself) yells cut. \n\nFacebookPinterestiPix211/London Entertainment"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
