Right now, Mr Seth Rogen can do no wrong. This is quite a statement to make of a straight white man in Hollywood in 2021. It’s also perhaps surprising, considering his back catalogue. (In hindsight, the actor himself has questioned some of the jokes in Superbad, but take your pick from The Interview, The Guilt Trip or The Green Hornet.) Still, he continues to be a shining example to men everywhere, and not just because of his clothes (though more on that in a moment).

On the hot topics of the day, the Canadian comedian invariably falls on the right side of history. Where many of his peers have said very little about the treatment of women in his industry, Rogen has publicly called out one of his former best friends, Mr James Franco, following abuse allegations. He’s also been a long-time advocate of cannabis. (His guided culinary tour of his hometown Vancouver for chef Mr David Chang’s Netflix series Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner is testament to this and well worth your time.)

What has brought him to our attention of late, however, is the clothes he wears. Rogen has deftly embraced something that many men find quite challenging: colour.

There are several tones that you yourself probably think that you have down – navy, notably, black and grey, and maybe off-white if you’re feeling dangerous. But deep green and mustard, which Rogen recently pulled off on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, is a bold move. And this is before you consider that the green came in the form of a cardigan and the mustard in trousers, finished off with Birkenstock clogs. Or his burgundy velvet suit, worn with a fuchsia shirt to the MTV Movie & TV Awards, which earned him a slot in our Best-Dressed Men list last month. Not to mention the number of patterned camp-collar shirts, dusty pink Paul Smith suits or tie-dye Elder Statesman sweaters he’s been seen in since the gags in Superbad wore out.

Such wanton colourplay isn’t for the shy and retiring. Then again, neither is acting. And Rogen no doubt has certain methods for loosening his inhabitations. (Did we mention that he’s a positive role model for the use of cannabis? We can’t recall. Our short-term memory isn’t what it was.) Even if you’re not treading the boards – or at the least producing the forthcoming remake of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – there are still lessons to be learnt.

It helps that the proportions are just so. Swerving the baggy hoodies and jeans that he was customarily seen in a decade ago, Mr Rogen has now opts for a more fitted wardrobe. And therein lies the secret. True, it pays to know which colours complement each other and when to wear more muted tones (we have a guide on just that here), but by keeping everything balanced and turning to a tailor to ensure everything fits, you can have as much fun as you like without looking ridiculous.
