Anti-Ken Cillian Murphy has always been pretty low-key. From telling interviewers that his life is “exceptionally boring” to infamously having no clue what a meme is, Murphy avoids the zeitgeist like a nuclear winter. Quick to eschew the slings and arrows of movie stardom, Murphy isn’t typically one to make statements with his style. What he does do, however, is make basic wardrobe essentials look really good.
Murphy strolled through London’s Trafalgar Square late last week in a look that stood out for atypical reasons. Characteristically understated and frankly pretty bold in its sheer casual-ness, Cillian Murphy’s monochromatic look is an anti-stardom assertion if there ever was one. Massively on brand and, luckily for us mere civilians, hugely affordable, the look itself is hallmarked by Sunspel’s Classic T-shirt.
Letting Sunspel’s $90 bright white tee shine amid an all-black ensemble, Murphy stood proud on the jet-black carpet, hands in pockets and shades on, letting his under-dressed, anti-statement statement fit wash over the London crowds. Cut with sharp lines, Sunspel’s crisp take on the T-shirt is hand-crafted in the brand’s long-standing factory in Long Eaton, England, made using the finest, extra-long staple Supima cotton that can be traced to its Californian farm of origin. Simply put, this is no ordinary white T-shirt.
To go full-Murphy with your recreation, look to Ray-Ban’s Original Wayfarers with gradient lenses — the kind of orange-tinted ones that mimic, say, a rising mushroom cloud — and a simple black ensemble comprised of a V-neck cardigan (buttoned), suit trousers, and some Cuban-heeled Chelsea boots. Go on, make Mr. Murphy proud.
This story was originally published on British GQ with the headline, “Cillian Murphy’s sub-£90 Sunspel tee is the subtlest of red carpet flexes”.
