We don’t know about you, but our Spidey-style senses are well and truly tingling. Hollywood’s favourite leading man, Tom Holland, has made a name for himself through not only becoming one of the youngest actors in the MCU, nor by being one half of Hollywood’s hottest new power couple with Spiderman co-star Zendaya — but through his signature style aesthetic and much-loved floppy ‘do.
John Legend takes us inside his wardrobe
Known to gravitate towards a combination of classic heritage styles and pattern-centric knits, Holland’s look blends that of the typical English gent and the chilled-out spirit of Los Angeles. Between his herringbone overcoats and logo-laden baseball caps, he captures the essence of his hybridised sense of national identity, representing his dual homes of California and West London.
But what’s unique about the Holland approach to dressing, we hear you ask? Simply put, it’s attainable. With nothing too avant-garde or hyper-stylised, his signature look consists of simple pieces that make up well-executed ensembles, much of which originates from online brands available to style civilians.
So, without further ado, here are the six must-have pieces from Tom’s wardrobe that you can easily lift into your own. From chic talk-show looks to comfortable knits for the everyday, all closets can take a little something from that of Tom Holland… literally.

1. Percival’s press-worthy Denton jacket
Holland may have worn this piece to attend an Empire Magazine press junket for his latest film Uncharted, but Percival’s Denton jacket is anything but. Another of Holland’s style picks to have cropped up on both fan and style accounts the internet over, this Japanese denim jacket gets both the Tom Holland and GQ seal of approval thanks to its pared-back but put-together feel. Cut in an elegant cropped fit, its soft, pleated fabrication gives it a suede-like feel despite being completely vegan. For bonus points, style like Holland himself with the co-ordinating trousers and a pair of slick leather boots.

If Tom’s navy pick isn’t up your sartorial street, lucky you, the Denton also comes in ‘Yolk’, ‘Peach’ and ‘Tan’ colourways.

2 & 3. That sk8r boi look
The look that defined the new-and-improved, post-No Way Home Holland era, who could forget the Carhartt x Pangaia sk8r boi combo worn by Holland on the set of The Crowded Room in Manhattan just a few months ago? Clearly bitten by the baggy bug, Holland’s ensemble comprised a pair of loose-legged Carhartt cargo trousers as well as Pangaia’s 365 hoodie in a pale lilac hue.
As eagle-eyed fashion enthusiasts may have noticed, Holland isn’t the first celeb to back sporty and sustainable loungewear brand, Pangaia, with Mr and Mrs Bieber, Harry Styles, Jaden Smith and Leonardo di Caprio all having been papped in Pangaia pieces.

4. David Beckham’s tinted shades
The crushed velvet Boss suit, the matching autumnal-tinted shades, the oh-so-casual Bond-like adjusting of the cufflinks — who could forget Tom Holland’s iconic GQ US Men of the Year look? Pulling on the styles of old-school Hollywood to create something utterly contemporary, this ‘fit will forever go down as one of Peter Parker’s best looks. But it simply wouldn’t have been what it was without the addition of the orange-tinted specs courtesy of David Beckham Eyewear. Created in collaboration with eyewear hero Safilo, David Beckham’s line of sunnies captures a balance of luxury styles and athletic-inspired detailing, as epitomised with these trend-focused square frames and their sporty tinted lenses.

Prada’s signature mode is not unlike that of everyone’s favourite Spiderman, where simple, block colour schemes combine with luxe cuts to create a chic overall look. Hailing from Prada’s new season collection, this waistcoat gives a masterclass on impactful minimalism. Cut from the label’s signature recycled nylon, the waistcoat is sealed with the instantly-recognisable enamelled triangle plaque, pulling the piece together with its formation of taut, straight lines. When it comes to styling, do as Holland did attending the Seth Meyers show late last year with a head-to-toe tonal look, complete with his go-to rollneck. Oh, and please note the matching Prada loafers.

6. Percival’s embroidered overshirt
Hours after flying the checkered flag at the Monaco Grand Prix, Tom Holland showed his support for Chris Gove’s Soho-based label once again in an embroidered Percival overshirt. Ditching the day’s forest-green Cuban, the overshirt’s clean lines and taut silhouette create a fuss-free, utilitarian feel, softened only by its cream hue and playful embroidery. In fact, its sharp shape and lightweight construction render it an ideal pick for cool, southern French evenings like the one TH found himself in at Tag Heuer’s post-race event.
To style as Holland did, layer the overshirt on top of a ribbed tank top, upping the ante with a fine silver chain and tinted pair of wayfarer sunglasses. Oh, and the all-new Tag Heuer Carrera Chronograph makes for quite a major piece of wrist candy should you wish to go for full Holland authenticity.

Striking a casual look for a rare day out with co-star and power-couple-partner Zendaya, Holland opted for a grey-hued pair of Nike Air Max 97 alongside some tailored trousers and a pastel tee. Posing with a fan, the couple embodied casual cool with messy locks and casual touches balanced by pressed seams and fine details.
Used to bring a sporty touch to the otherwise poised ensemble, Holland’s Air Max ground the ‘fit with a kind of everyday appeal that’s both brimming with nostalgic energy and accessible to us mere style laymen.

8. The white tee: perfected
Even highfalutin celebs can’t deny the sartorial power of the almighty white T-shirt. Slipping into one of AllSaint’s signature Ramskull-embroidered tees, Holland smized with a fan on the set of Spiderman: No Way Home with a head of tousled curls. The good news? These delectable tees come in a pack of three, so there are enough Holland-inspired basics to go around.
