How to Dress Like Jacob Elordi: The Art of Relaxed Luxury

Jacob Elordi isn’t just that guy from Euphoria. He’s evolved into a modern-day style icon — and what makes it so compelling is that it never feels like he’s trying too hard. That’s the magic. His look is casual, confident, and effortless, setting a blueprint for guys everywhere who want to upgrade their fashion without stepping into full-on fashionista territory.

The Australian actor’s wardrobe doesn’t rely on bold logos or avant-garde silhouettes. It leans into something subtler — a vibe we call relaxed luxury. It’s the kind of style that feels unfussy but refined, casual yet calculated.

Here's how to tap into that energy without looking like you're trying to cosplay as a celebrity.

1. Fit Over Flex: Why Proportions Matter

Elordi’s looks aren’t built around flashy designer names — they’re built around fit. His outfits nail proportions in a way that feels slouchy but never sloppy. You’ll often see him in relaxed trousers, oversized shirts, and boxy jackets, but everything is carefully balanced.

The key move here? Tailoring. Even his looser pieces are shaped where it counts — blazers hug the shoulders, pants hit just right at the shoe. It’s not about looking put-together in a traditional sense, but rather making sure your clothes move with you. 

Because no matter how good the garment is, you can’t fake relaxed confidence if your clothes are fighting your body.

2. Stick to a soft, neutral palette
One of Elordi’s best style weapons? His color choices. You won’t find him in wild neons or chaotic prints. Instead, his closet is filled with earthy browns, navy, olive, cream, and charcoal — colors that work in any season and with almost anything else.

This kind of palette makes layering smoother and outfits easier to assemble. Think light-wash denim, tan suiting, crisp white tees. The kind of pieces that always look clean without looking overdone.

Here’s the truth: 10 loud statement items will stress you out. 10 versatile neutrals will build your whole wardrobe.

3. Master the "elevated basic"
At first glance, Elordi’s style might seem simple — a white T-shirt here, a hoodie there. But look closer and you’ll see the difference. The tee has structure. The hoodie fits like it was tailored. The loafers are crafted in buttery leather with no loud branding.

This is the essence of relaxed luxury: taking basic pieces and upgrading the fit, fabric, and finish. Whether it’s a heavyweight tee or perfectly worn-in jeans, each item looks like it belongs. Nothing is too precious — but nothing is cheap either.

4. Blend high and low like a pro
Elordi isn't afraid to mix "fancy" and "casual" pieces together. That's part of what makes his style feel natural.

He might throw a luxury coat over a basic baseball cap or wear suiting trousers with a white tank top. It’s this contrast that gives his style an unstudied cool — like he could be going to fashion week, but he’s probably just headed to a coffee shop.

Want to try it? Pair beat-up sneakers with tailored pants. Or rock a sharp blazer with a vintage tee. The trick is to let one polished piece shine and keep the rest of the look relaxed. That tension between “put together” and “thrown on” is where the magic happens

5. Build a signature silhouette
Consistency is part of what makes Elordi’s style recognizable.

Elordi knows what shapes work for him, and he sticks to them. His silhouette often features longer jackets, full-length trousers, and chunky shoes. There’s no jumping on every trend — no skinny jeans one day and cropped bombers the next.

Ask yourself: what outfit shapes make you feel confident and at ease? Whether it’s a boxy fit or a more tailored line, double down on it. When your silhouette feels like you, your style starts to look intentional without even trying.

6. Invest in quality staples (without going broke)
Yes, Elordi wears brands like Bode, Saint Laurent, and Celine — but the vibe is more important than the label. You don’t need runway prices to get the look. What matters is fabric, construction, and longevity.

Great staples — relaxed blazers, crisp tees, leather jackets — can be found anywhere if you shop smart. Thrift stores, vintage shops, and resale platforms are goldmines. Brands like A.P.C., Levi’s, Dr. Martens, and even thrifted Ralph Lauren deliver premium energy without draining your wallet.

Bottom line: Style isn’t about the label. It’s about how a piece feels and fits when you wear it.

7. An outfit you can steal right now
If you want an easy entry point into Elordi's world of relaxed luxury, start here:

A pair of vintage-wash, loose-fit jeans

A chunky textured top with a bit of personality

Classic black lace-up boots

This combo nails that effortless "I just threw this on and still look better than you" energy. Nothing feels forced, and every piece carries its own weight without trying too hard.

Lace-up boots and loose-fit blue jeans aren't just one-off choices for Elordi—they're staples you’ll see across tons of his looks. If your wardrobe's missing them, now's the time to fix that.

As for the sweater polo, don't overthink it. Go for something that feels a little substantial. It could be a textured knit, a retro collar, or a bold neutral shade. Let it do the talking while the rest of the outfit stays grounded.

Why relaxed luxury works
Relaxed luxury hits different because it sends the right message without saying a word. It’s about showing up with presence.

You move differently when your clothes fit right when the fabrics feel good, and when the colors are understated but sharp. You act differently. People pick up on it, even if they can’t explain why.

That’s why Jacob Elordi’s style works so well. It’s approachable but elevated. Calm but confident. It leaves room for his personality to do the heavy lifting.
