The only effort is the wings
Screenfits earns a commission on some links below, at no cost to you. We choose the garments first and find where to buy them second — never the other way round.
Rugby shirts, crumpled linen, a signet ring, black tie worn badly and a pair of wings as a costume.
Sophie Canale designed the film and named her reference directly: "Felix was very much inspired by Prince William and Prince Harry who were of that age group in that time period" — drawing on "their nights out in Mayfair, polo matches." On the Midsummer Night's Dream party: "The only effort he's going to do is put on a pair of wings."
Washed out, collar half up, sleeves pushed. Never new-looking.

Everything should look owned rather than bought. Crumpled linen, a washed-out rugby shirt, a jumper with a hole in it. New and pressed is the wrong register entirely. The pieces are classic and slightly old-fashioned: rugby shirts, chino shorts, oxford shirts, a signet ring, plimsolls. Nothing technical, nothing branded. Fit is loose and slightly wrong. Sleeves pushed up, collar half-popped, shirt untucked on one side. And for black tie, don't get it tailored. A dinner jacket that's a little too big is far more Felix than one that fits.
Aristocratic ease: rugby shirts, crumpled linen, chino shorts, plimsolls and the signet ring — money so old it doesn't iron.
Natural fabrics, worn casually: linen shirt half-buttoned, shorts, canvas shoes. The dinner jacket comes out loose and unbothered at night.
Trying. Logos, pressing, coordination — effort is middle-class. The whole look is inherited, not assembled.
