FOR MOST OF his career, Matt Damon has kept things pretty low-key on the red carpet, so it’s refreshing to see him level up his style now that he’s in his 50s. Case in point: he’s on a seriously good style throughout The Odyssey press tour. Maybe it’s because the film is a Christopher Nolan project—arguably one of the most prestigious projects of his career—and the occasion calls for stepping things up. Or maybe he’s simply found his groove. Whatever the reason, we’re here for the style evolution. His looks are clean and polished, which also makes them surprisingly easy to recreate. I’ve rounded up three of the actor’s best press tour looks, along with affordable alternatives that capture the same style without the designer price tag.

Clean, Breezy Vibes

Over the weekend, Damon hit The Odyssey press tour in a made-to-measure Ralph Lauren Purple Label linen suit, proving that linen is still the undisputed fabric of summer. It’s breathable, lightweight, and has a lived-in texture that makes even tailored pieces feel relaxed. Although Purple Label is expensive, there are plenty of ways to get the same look for less. A well-cut linen or linen-blend suit in a similar neutral shade, paired with a crisp button-down and leather loafers, captures the same easy elegance without the designer price tag.

Smart Casual Done Right

For another stop on the press tour, he showed how to level up staples with a cotton blazer layered over a striped button-down, navy trousers, and classic loafers. You can wear this outfit whether you’re headed to the office, out to dinner, or dressing up for a summer event that doesn’t call for a full suit. Recreate the look with an unstructured cotton blazer, a lightweight striped shirt, tailored trousers, and a pair of penny loafers.

Elevated Weekend Style

While in Miami, Damon kept things more relaxed with a knit polo, tailored black trousers, and clean sneakers. It’s a simple outfit that can still make a statement when the fit is right. Skip anything too skinny or overly baggy. The magic of this outfit is in the proportions: a softly fitted polo up top, relaxed-but-tailored trousers down below, and clean sneakers to finish it off. This is an easy outfit that’s perfect for everything from weekend brunch to vacation dinners.
