Mark Ronson is not just a music connoisseur: his ear also has a good sense of fashion notes. With those, the famous record producer, DJ, and singer creates couture hits made of a mix (and remix) of casual and elegance.

From the tuxedo with a bow tie “shaken” with a white t-shirt to the satin blazer dressed down with a denim shirt, what Ronson excels in is the blend of chic and urban. Expertly mixed, as only a DJ would know how. He has learned rhythm and style from the many rock and pop stars he has worked with over the years, from Stevie Wonder to Lady Gaga, passing through Adele and Christina Aguilera.

With seven Grammy Awards on his bedside table – one as Producer of the Year for the album Back to Black by Amy Winehouse – two BRIT Awards, and even an Oscar and a Golden Globe for the song Shallow, Mark Ronson takes the prize for the most knowledgeable Englishman in music. But judging by his looks, we should also award him a prize for the best dressed Englishman of all time. Take a look at the following outfits to believe it. Here are 5 greatest hits in fashion style by Mark Ronson, to learn how to always dress at your best no matter the dress code and occasion.

Mark Ronson, being a good composer and DJ, loves to experiment. And draw from different genres to create truly surprising fashion symphonies. Among English celebs, he is one of the most versatile in terms of fashion. Versatile and pioneering: he was one of the first to mix “high and low” on the red carpet, in the sense of haute couture and casual. His favorite version of the amalgam of elegance and urban style is the one that combines refined jacket-trousers suits, with a sartorial cut and enriched with luxury fabrics like silk blends, with pieces from streetwear tradition.

The minimalist t-shirts are his “best friend forever” as well as sneakers. He owns an extensive collection of athletic footwear, at least as much as his vinyl records. With a shiny satin suit, he loves to break the glam shine by adding a vintage touch of retro-style sneakers, Superga above all.

The bow tie is a difficult accessory to pull off well, even though very chic. To learn how to give the bow tie a “wow” touch, we can refer to our man. Having spent most of his life in close contact with red carpet icons, Ronson has been able to glean the secrets. Including that of “playing down” the bow tie. How? For example, replacing the black jacket with a pastel-colored blazer, like powder blue or mint green. The bow tie will not clash at all, but rather complete a very haute look. And absolutely not out!

Someone like Mark Ronson cannot overlook fashion related to the most iconic music genres. He often draws from the punk or glam rock repertoire, but his greatest love remains rock ‘n’ roll. A bomber jacket or a collegiate-style teddy jacket to be worn with a white t-shirt à la Danny Zuko from Grease (or Fonzie from Happy Days) is the top that Ronson loves to show off.

For bottoms, his beloved black skinny jeans never miss the mark (even on the red carpet). The style exercise? The white patent leather lace-up shoes, typical of jazz musicians from the Fifties and recaptured from the rock ‘n’ roll wardrobe a decade later. And from Ronson half a century later.

When it comes to being impeccably chic, Mark Ronson hangs up his canvas sneakers and bomber jacket, bringing out top-notch pieces like the double-breasted jacket and Prince of Wales trousers suit. Even though the checks he loves the most are those of tartan flannel shirts in a grunge style, the checked pattern of large and small squares in wool fabric always finds space in his wardrobe. White poplin shirt underneath but worn unbuttoned for a more relaxed result, there’s even a pocket square popping out to balance it all, adding a notable touch of sophistication to the very English attire. The “off” note that comes out on top? The black suede boots. Dressed like this, one could even go for a 5 o’clock tea with the Queen.

Want to make a black suit with white shirt and black tie less usual? Reverse the colors, “flipping” the traditional hues for a result that is original but equally elegant. In this case, Ronson draws heavily from the rock ‘n’ roll imagery: black pants, slip-on shoes with double buckle closure (and here we are still in the classic territory), black double-breasted jacket with black lapel reverse, black shirt, and white tie.

In essence, a top layer that completely reverses the traditionally intended colors for a gala or ceremony dress code. The result will be equally refined without falling into banality. Classic remixed in an original key: here is the true greatest hit signed by Mark Ronson!
