Matt Bomer’s Classic Style Over the Years, from Brogues to Sharp Sneakers
Matt Bomer’s formal style has expanded throughout the years, with a growing shoe collection to match.
In the 2000’s and 2010’s, Bomer rose to fame on the crime drama “White Collar” — and, similarly to his dapper character on the show, frequently wore dark-toned brogues, Oxfords and suits across various red carpets. As time went on, the star’s sartorial palette expanded with sleek leather boots, sneakers and more in monochrome and jewel tones.

The 2020’s have since found Bomer’s approach to dressing packed with color, retro influences and more — as well as a vast variety of sharp footwear by labels including Versace and Scarosso — through working with stylist Warren Alfie Baker. Below, we take a look back at the actor’s sharp style transformation.
People’s Choice Awards, 2013
At the 2013 People’s Choice Awards, Bomer was dapperly dressed in a pair of classic black leather brogues. The lace-up style provided a formal base for his similarly classic black suit, paired with a light blue-gray plaid shirt and dark gray tie for the occasion.
Cannes Film Festival, 2016
Bomer was dapperly dressed for the Cannes Film Festival in 2016, appearing at a photocall for “The Nice Guys” in a pair of white leather derby shoes. The stack-heeled style streamlined his white collared shirt and cuffed trousers, which the actor sharply contrasted with a lightly printed dark blue blazer.
“The Inheritance” Opening Night, 2019
In 2019, Bomer stepped out in New York City for the opening of “The Inheritance” on Broadway. The actor laced into black leather boots for the occasion, which provided a sharp complement to his smoky gray suit. The set was elegantly finished with a red and white floral-printed shirt.
Versace’s Fall 2023 Runway Show, 2023
In 2023, Bomer continued his dapper streak with an appearance at Versace’s star-studded fashion show in West Hollywood. For the occasion, the actor stepped out in smooth white leather sneakers. Stylist Warren Alfie Baker brought the classic style a dynamic flair, complementing the set with a relaxed purple suit.
GQ’s Men Of The Year Party, 2023
In 2023, Bomer expanded his suiting streak with a vintage-inspired wardrobe while promoting Netflix’s “Maestro” and Showtime’s “Fellow Travelers.” For the GQ Men Of The Year event in November, the actor stepped out in a pair of slick white leather boots from Baker’s collaboration with Scarosso. Bomer’s bold shoes streamlined his white trousers and tonal blue velvet blazer by Brioni, which were elegantly accented with an Omega watch, David Yurman necklace and Maor M Cohen ring.
