You can claim to be "intrigued by the plot" as much as you'd like, but everybody knows the truth behind why they're binge-watching Lucifer episode after episode. It's because Lucifer Morningstar, is so unbelievably good-looking, it's hard to avert your gaze when he's on the screen. Like I've had inappropriate crushes before sure, but never has it gotten as bizarre as me being attracted to Satan. Until of course, Tom Ellis decided to play him. Now, I'm all about going to hell!
Lucifer's magnetism is undeniable, but it's not just his handsome face (or rock-hard abs) that pull you right in. It's also his suave sense of style and his dapper appearance round-the-clock, that can enchant you before you know it. Which is why, regardless of your sex or sexual orientation, you just can't bring yourself to challenge the lead character's charm. Well, we might not be able to bless you with Lucifer's ripped muscles, or the perfection that his smile is. But we can help you adopt his classy sense of style and put together your own debonair attire. And while in this case, the Devil truly wears Prada, we have been sure to make our recommendations fall under a reasonable budget. So without further ado, let's dive head-first into these 15 tips to look as lush as Lucifer himself!

If one piece of clothing summed up Lucifer's refined dressing style, it'd have to be a well-fitting well-tailored suit. Lucifer Morningstar is all about dressing to the nines and wearing immaculate three-piece suits every hour of the day. You don't necessarily need to don a tuxedo every time you head out of the door, but if you're trying to embody that sophisticated sense of style, a well-fitting suit is a must-have. Lucifer or not, every man needs a suit in his closet that he can blindly fall back on, so we'd suggest you get yours!

Please focus on the looking bit. You don't need to buy clothes that cost a bomb to look as posh as the devil, but getting smarter with the textures you choose can go a long mile. When dressing up in formals, pick pieces with subtle textures like worsted (smooth with a dull matte finish) or tweed (rough, hairy wool). Materials like linen come ingrained with a fine, luxe texture that adds a polished look to your outfit.

Even if you're literally satan, somedays you just don't want to wear an entire suit. But Lucifer would rather stick to his formal clothes, that reach for a pair of shorts. So take note of this trick when you're putting together a formal yet comfy attire. A snug waistcoat on top of a classic button-down is a great way to look tailored and sharp, without pulling on a heavy blazer during these hot and humid months. Look for waistcoats with a V-neck, and a single-breast three button detail to look uber-dapper.
I mean, he is the Prince of Darkness, and that pretty much reflects in his choice of clothing colours. If you've always been instructed to pair a dark shade with a light colour to create contrast in your outfits, you can let go of that rule now. Lucifer loves pairing different dark shades to create elegant ensembles, like in this picture we see black coming together with maroon and dark mauve. You can club sombre colours like forest green, navy blue, dark red, muted browns, dark greys etc for a stylish all-dark outfit.

Lucifer steers clear of casual pieces of clothing like jeans or shorts. We aren't asking you to entirely let go of these things in your closet, but if you want to dress up to create an impression like the devil, we'd suggest you reach for a well-tailored pair of trousers. Take your pick from regular-fit, tapered-fit or slim-fit pants, but be mindful of picking a silhouette that's flattering for your body type. We'd also highly suggest going for flat-front pants.

Remember when Lucifer wore a leather jacket, and every single female viewer just....perished? Yeah, you'd want to have that kind of an effect with your outfit choices, wouldn't you? Well, take it from a woman, in the department of casual outerwear for men it doesn't get sexier than a classic black leather jacket. So invest in one before winter arrives, and throw it on top of a dark ensemble like a pair of black jeans and a navy t-shirt.

If you truly want to adopt Lucifer's dashing style, start giving some importance to accessories like pocket squares and bowties that you've either actively avoided, or believe in fishing out on select-few occasions. A simple but useful collection of pocket squares will go a long way in amping up your formal closet. And a bow-tie can be a very charming, stylish alternative to your regular long ties.

Like we said earlier, Lucifer is all about flaunting impeccable suits and being perfectly spruced up all the time. And if that's a style you want to embody, we'd recommend you start building your collection of suits now. But while classic colours like black and dark blue are always safe options, they've also been done to death. So, why not take a gander at understated but unique colours like Lucifer's seaweed green three-piece suit here?

As far as prints that work well for men are concerned, nothing comes close to the elegance of some good ol' stripes. Pinstripes can really kick the style quotient of an otherwise modest outfit several notches up, and the devil shows us exactly how it's done in this photo. Subtle vertical stripes on a blue blazer will make you look totally debonair, while also helping you stand out from the crowd of solid shades.

We honestly think that the notion of accessorising in men's dressing doesn't get as much importance as it should. And as Lucifer shows us here, something as simple as a pair of suspenders and a bowtie can elevate your whole look and add some much-needed flair and quirk. As a matter of fact, a man carrying some dark suspenders with a button-down in an elegant colour, makes for an immensely attractive sight!

Getting your hands on a pair of Louboutins like the ones Lucifer loves to wear, can be slightly far-fetched and that's putting it mildly. But in no way does that imply that you can't get a polished pair of dressing shoes into your closet. Sleek black Oxford shoes paired with a formal or even semi-formal outfit can make you look absolutely dashing. And the pair we recommend won't cost a considerable fraction of your life savings!

A very simple yet effective hack at giving your formal suited up look a contemporary, voguish twist can be to swap the full-sleeved button-down shirt for a well-fitted round-neck t-shirt. Don your dark-coloured suit as is, but instead of a white formal shirt go for a snug white t-shirt. This style tip will add some quirky personality to your look and the outcome is a sharp yet modish ensemble!

'Nuff said.
While we are on it, don't forget to get yourself a silky black and red robe and pair it with your best devil-may-care impression!
