The Gentlemen returns to Netflix for Season 2 on 3 September 2026, bringing Eddie Horniman, Susie Glass and the world of grand country estates back to our screens.
Alongside the drama, one of the things people loved most about the first series was the clothing. It brought together traditional British countrywear, sharp tailoring and an understated “old money” style that felt polished without looking too formal.
With Season 2 nearly here, here is how to recreate The Gentlemen country look using pieces you can wear long after you have finished watching it.
What Is The Gentlemen Style?
The Gentlemen style combines traditional British country clothing with modern tailoring. Think tweed jackets, checked shirts, fine merino knitwear, wax jackets, corduroy trousers and smart leather Chelsea boots.
The colours are generally understated, with plenty of olive, brown, navy, stone, rust and cream. Nothing needs to match perfectly, but the different textures and natural colours work together to create that familiar country-estate look.
The easiest pieces to start with are:
- A tweed jacket or field coat
- A checked or brushed-cotton shirt
- A fine merino jumper
- Corduroy, moleskin or dark cotton trousers
- A wax jacket
- Brown leather Chelsea boots
Start with a Proper Tweed Jacket
Tweed is probably the quickest way to capture The Gentlemen look. However, you do not need to wear a complete three-piece tweed suit.
For a smarter outfit, the Hoggs of Fife Kingussie Tweed Sports Jacket has a traditional green and blue check that works particularly well with navy, brown and cream. Wear it over a checked shirt with corduroy trousers and leather boots for a smart country outfit that does not feel overly formal.
For something designed for a day in the field, the Hoggs of Fife Kingussie Technical Tweed Field Coat provides a more practical alternative. It can be matched with the Kingussie Technical Tweed Field Waistcoat and Kingussie Technical Tweed Breeks to create a complete shooting outfit.
This is a good example of how traditional country style has moved on. You still get the classic appearance of tweed, but with modern features designed for comfort and unpredictable British weather.
Add a Checked Country Shirt
A checked shirt helps bring the whole outfit together without making it look too carefully styled.
The Härkila Haywood Wool Blend Shirt has the warm, muted colours that suit this style particularly well. The Arabian Spice check introduces shades of rust and brown while remaining easy to wear with green tweed, navy trousers or a rustic wax jacket.
Leave the collar open for a relaxed outfit or add a plain tie if you are dressing for a shoot, country event or smarter occasion.
Layer with Fine Merino Knitwear
Fine knitwear is another important part of The Gentlemen look. A merino jumper adds warmth without creating too much bulk beneath a jacket.
The Härkila Vincent Merino Half-Zip Pullover in Dark Sand is a particularly easy colour to wear. Layer it over a checked shirt, then add a tweed or wax jacket when the weather changes.
A half-zip is slightly more relaxed than a traditional V-neck jumper, which makes it suitable for everyday outfits as well as country events. It also works well with jeans if you do not want to commit to the full country-estate look.
Swap Chinos for Corduroy
Corduroy trousers add texture and feel a little more interesting than standard chinos while still being comfortable enough for everyday wear.
The Meyer Roma Corduroy Chinos in Navy provide a smart foundation for tweed, checked shirts and neutral knitwear. Navy is also easier to style than a brighter or more traditional shade of corduroy.
Wear them with the Kingussie Sports Jacket, a checked shirt and brown boots for one of the simplest ways to recreate the look.
Finish with a Wax Jacket
Not every outfit in The Gentlemen needs to involve tweed. A classic wax jacket creates a more relaxed version of British country style.
The Barbour Hereford Wax Jacket has a traditional Rustic Brown finish with a warmer quilted lining. It works particularly well over a merino jumper or checked shirt and can be worn with corduroy trousers, jeans or moleskins.
A wax jacket is water-resistant rather than completely waterproof, making it best suited to light rain, breezy days and general everyday wear. For prolonged heavy rain, choose a fully waterproof technical jacket instead.
Choose Smart Leather Chelsea Boots
Footwear should look polished but still be practical enough for gravel, grass and country paths.
The Ariat Wexford Waterproof Chelsea Boots provide the shape of a classic leather Chelsea boot with waterproof protection and a supportive rubber sole.
Weathered brown leather works naturally with tweed, navy corduroy and olive outerwear. The boots are also smart enough to wear with chinos or dark jeans when you are not dressing for the countryside.
The Gentlemen-Inspired Country Style for Women
The women’s style in The Gentlemen tends to be polished, confident and fairly understated. You can recreate that feeling without copying a particular outfit by choosing simple shapes, good fabrics and a controlled colour palette.
Start with the Laksen Camilla V-Neck Sweater in Loden Green. Wear it with a crisp shirt, tailored trousers or dark jeans for an easy country-estate outfit.
For outerwear, the Dubarry Delaney Wax Cotton Utility Jacket introduces a more structured shape while keeping the practical feel of a country jacket.
Finish with the Ariat Wexford H2O Waterproof Chelsea Boots. Their low-profile shape feels smart and refined, while the waterproof construction makes them more practical for wet grass and changeable autumn weather.
Three Easy The Gentlemen Outfit Ideas
The Smart Country Outfit
- Green or blue tweed sports jacket
- Checked country shirt
- Navy corduroy trousers
- Brown waterproof Chelsea boots
The Relaxed Estate Outfit
- Rustic wax jacket
- Neutral merino half-zip
- Dark jeans or moleskin trousers
- Leather Chelsea boots
The Traditional Field Outfit
- Technical tweed field coat
- Matching tweed waistcoat and breeks
- Tattersall or wool-blend checked shirt
- Shooting socks and practical country boots
Do You Need to Wear Head-to-Toe Tweed?
No. In fact, the easiest way to make this style feel natural is to choose one statement country piece and keep everything else simple.
A tweed jacket looks more relaxed with plain navy trousers. A wax jacket works well with a cream jumper and jeans. Checked shirts can be softened with plain knitwear rather than additional patterns.
The aim is to look put together without appearing as though you are wearing a costume.
How to Make The Gentlemen Style Work Every Day
Although the series takes place around grand estates and some rather less-than-legal business dealings, the clothing itself is surprisingly wearable.
You can introduce the look gradually by adding:
- A checked shirt beneath your usual jumper
- Corduroy trousers instead of chinos
- A wax jacket over a simple everyday outfit
- Waterproof Chelsea boots instead of trainers
- One tweed jacket for smarter occasions
These are all pieces that can be worn for country shows, race meetings, shoot lunches, pub visits and ordinary autumn weekends.
