Guy Richie’s The Man from U.N.C.L.E may be this summer’s most stylish movie. With its two leads (Armie Hammer and Henry Cavill) sporting serious Don Draper dad bods, this 1960s spy flick remake nails that masculine yet refined style we’ve come to associate with the era of Mad Men and JFK.

Think you can’t update these swinging secret agent wardrobes to look fresh in 2015? Think again. We’re here to show you how to steal their seriously stylish looks.

Sweater: John Smedley | Jacket: Pierotucci Italy (similar) | Pants: J.Crew

Wear it well: A fine gauge turtleneck that’s thin enough to be worn under suits or jackets.is your first stop. Make sure to go with a neutral color and focus on a tailored fit that hangs close to your body, but isn’t skin tight. From there, a suede bomber, Chelsea boots, and a pair of seriously cool Persols rounds out your “Just waiting for instructions from headquarters while hiding out in Marrakesh” look.
