Is he going for 1950s or 1970s look? Me and mister Taytoface are at odds.

Agree. Loved what he said on Uncloaked, which was something like his partner said what would he do about going so red in the face when he was nervous and he decided one possible distraction was to wear stunning outfits so people would be looking at him from the neck down and not noticing his face so much Grin. Pretty successful, I think!

1970s.

Yes there are nods to the past but that combination of clothes + jewelry + moustache only makes sense in the 70s.😎

His look is amazing. I thought modern take on the 1970s. Even the tache.

I loved his jumper tucked into wide legged jeans, especially the pink cashmere one. That's a look I'd wear!!

The striped jumpsuit/two pieces were a thing of beauty.

Did you notice that he was quite fit (as in sporty) on the hill challenge. I reckon he keeps fit to fit the jumpsuits. Otherwise it would be a bit fat elvis.

The clothes have been great this season.

I liked a lot of Rachel's jewellery
Jade's outfit in the final was amazing
I loved Jessie's yellow and orange colour scheme with her hair.

I would say 1920s! He looks great. Definitely the most stylish contestant this year.

I love Stephen’s look. Adore the way he rocks a belted jumpsuit .

Think he sometimes looks like Sportacus from Lazy Town

That's funny!

LittlePotteryBird · 23/01/2026 23:03

I kept trying to get a good look at his necklaces but never could! Does anyone know where they are from/got a close up?

murasaki · 23/01/2026 22:58

Late seventies jumper gay rather than leather. He rocked it.

It’s quite Northern Soul. I love his look.

This has been my take on his clothes, definitely Northern Soul. Not sure about those all-in-one nylon garish ones though

nondrinker1985 · 23/01/2026 22:36

Today he was Benson Boone

bells456 · 23/01/2026 22:22

No idea but he always looks FABULOUS

theonlyonestillawake · 23/01/2026 22:19

Either way, I much prefer it to Matthew's evacuee look!

Lopteluga · 23/01/2026 22:16

Could be either but he’s one stylish guy. He’s got his own look and its great.

Arran2024 · 23/01/2026 22:14

He's like Timothee Chalamet in Marty Supreme, which is 1950s

Mumteedum · 23/01/2026 22:14

Well yeah I know that is how fashion works obviously... didn't know those jackets were in fashion again now. Still ugly!

MasterBeth · 23/01/2026 21:52

Mumteedum · 23/01/2026 19:28

Phew. Thought I just was old and didn't get it.

The coat he had on looks like one my Dad wore in the nineties.

Show quote history

Yeah, thirty years ago. Guess what? Fashion is circular.

mcmuffin22 · 23/01/2026 21:48

Sometimes a bit 70s (reminded me of The Sepent) and also a bit The Talented Mr Ripley.

YelenaBelova · 23/01/2026 21:19

70s

Blingismything · 23/01/2026 21:05

Agree that Stephen was rocking the Northern Soul look on at least one occasion.

Ooooh could Stephen do a jack makeover? That would be interesting.

Newbieyear · 23/01/2026 19:31

I thought 50s when I saw your question but it’s also very 70s. He looks fantastic. I agree re Jack. I was thinking last night, what an unattractive look.

Mumteedum · 23/01/2026 19:28

Taytoface · 23/01/2026 19:27

Jacks look is baaad. He is a good looking fella. But the glasses are awful, as is the jewellery. He is in sore need of a makeover

He looks like he belongs on the set of one of those classic musicals. I can imagine him rocking a sailor outfit in on the Town 😅

There's some 70s patterns though, definitely.

I don't understand the young uns. They all look like they're in fancy dress to me! Jack irritates me with his earrings and look .(IABU!)...but I'm old.
