The movie could've been a whole lot better, but Gosling made a valiant effort to carry the team on his well-tailored back in a sharp '40s peak-lapel three-piece topped off with a fedora.

Yeah, we watched it, but only for the classic American sportswear.

This isn't the Gosling we know today—that would come much later—but in retrospect, we should've seen it coming. Pay homage to the young sapling in a killer Mickey Mouse varsity jacket—he knew he had it long before anyone else.

Whoops, how'd this get in here? Guess our man still had a few things to learn...

There's a good chance you missed this one, but Gosling's tux is perfectly tailored, and he smartly says no to formalwear follies like matching cummerbund/bow-tie/pocket-square combos.

Even strung-out and leading our nation's youth down forbidden paths, Gosling's accessory game is on point with a pair of tortoiseshell aviators and a throwback Casio watch. (Note: Such levels of disheveled-ness may only be attainable through illicit substances.)

Sure, there's something to be said for a pudgy, balding Gosling pulling off an eagle-head sweater and rose-tinted glasses later in the film, but it's in the earlier half, when he's killing it in motorcycle jackets and camel cashmere sweaters, that he captures Michelle Williams's (and our) attention.

If you can look this cool while making style choices so out there we haven't even thought to address them (peroxide hair, sleeveless Metallica tees, face tats), you deserve the stick-up money—and Eva Mendes.

Who says a political drone has to look boring? It's nailing the details—lapel/tie/collar width, tailoring, and color combinations—that makes Gosling stand out from the rest of his K Street crew.

Gosling goes all-designer-everything, cementing his place as one of the best-dressed gents to appear on the silver screen in recent memory. Word to the wise, though: When it comes to rigs like that Albert Hammond Jr. for Confederacy suit, don't even make an attempt unless you, like Steve Carell in the film, are being styled by the man himself.

Are you surprised? Iconic bloodied white scorpion jacket aside, nearly everything Gosling sports throughout the film is wearable—denim-on-denim, fitted henleys, even Patek Philippe watches. Avoid messy brawls with faceless hitmen, and this is a wardrobe that'll last you forever.
