With Baz Luhrmann's biopic hitting theaters, the king of rock 'n' roll is back in the zeitgeist. And while we're getting a musical education, we're also getting a masterclass in the many signature looks the singer wore through his larger-than-life career. Turns out: dressing like a rockstar is easier than we thought. Here, how to dress like a modern Elvis Presley.
The Classic
Early Elvis-era looks come down to a few things: simple checked-blazers, printed short sleeve collar shirts, slacks, and a killer pair of loafers. All classic pieces that you can still wear today—even if you don't style them as he would.

The Mega-Star
As Elvis's megawatt star power rose, he also upped the octave of his dressing. His usual classic became just a little bit... more. Think: bolder check jackets and power clash prints. And in a hint of what was to come, big belt buckles.

The Bad Boy
Elvis is probably synonymous with many things, but one of them is certainly the leather jacket. Once he was a certified superstar, his look matched the part. Sleek leather outfits with bracelets and killer boots were the vibe.

Viva Las Vegas
Arguably the most memorable of the Elvis outfits are from his Vegas era. Take it into 2022 with a brocade suit, a chunky ring (with sparkle, please), and of course, crystal-encrusted fence-climbers.
