If you want to look polished, you don’t have to look much further than Wimbledon for inspiration. Perhaps the most stylish sporting event going, Wimbledon is usually a go-to for men's summer fashion.
We found a few of our favourites from Wimbledon 2018 and recreated them with a Helm twist. These looks aren’t only for British sporting events--they are great for garden parties, dinners with friends, or any time you want to look sharp.
THE BEST 2018 WIMBLEDON MENSWEAR LOOKS RECREATED
1. THE YACHT PARTY
We love Luke Evans' style here, who looks like he belongs on a yacht in the French Riviera. The trick to this is starting with a light colour on top and pairing it with a darker trouser. A white shirt, cream jacket, tan trousers, and dark brown leather shoes--we didn’t change much about this look for our re-creation.

2. THE LAID-BACK LOOK
A patterned sport shirt with a light trouser is a pretty foolproof casual look, though Lewis Hamilton could use a bit more structure for our tastes. We tucked the shirt in, nixed the necklace, and chose a more fitted construction for both the shirt and trouser. We love the red lenses on his sunglasses, but a classic frame works here just as well.

3. THE BRITISH INVASION
There are few things more British than a navy double breasted jacket, and the Duchess of Cambridge’s younger brother wears it well. Light trousers give James Middleton's look a more laid-back vibe than matching trousers would, and suede shoes create texture and interest. We went with a brown suede shoe and brown tie for this re-creation, which dials back the nautical feel that James is leaning toward.

4. THE JT
Justin Timberlake does the t-shirt/suit combo often. While we’re not huge fans of JT’s look this year, we do like the idea of dressing down a suit a bit for a summer event. We've paired a grey suit with a white graphic T, and we also added a pocket square for some colour. We chose a white sneaker and rolled the sleeves up in keeping with the casual feel.

5. THE PREP SCHOOL
Oliver Cheshire has gone full-prep for Wimbledon, which is exactly the look that you’d expect here. A cream coloured jacket with a rich blue shirt and tie, paired with dark navy trousers is striking without being too bold or obnoxious. We chose a linen and wool blend jacket from Luigi Bianchi for this look, as well as chambray sport shirt for just a hint of texture.

6. THE ROYAL FLUSH
If you’ve ever felt like the outdoor air wasn’t quite good enough for you, you may want to turn to Prince William for style inspiration. Seriously though, the Duke of Cambridge has chosen a timeless look with his check suit and light blue shirt combo. He also chose a more casual tie with a knit texture, which dresses down his business-professional look a bit. We love the sunglasses, which are a classic frame with just a bit of a an edge.
