GQ says the American style is “dominating the world of fashion.” As proof, the magazine dressed The Chronicles of Narnia actor Ben Barnes in various labels in the classic style. While designer names aren’t in our budget, thankfully the timeless styles are easy to mirror on a budget. One look in particular mixes casual and preppy pieces that carry over from summer to fall.

The shirt: Black oxford dress shirt with chest pocket and buttoned cuffs from Old Navy, $19.50.

The tie: Roundtree & Yorke yellow and black stripe silk tie from Dillards, $39.50.

The shorts: Lost black and white large plaid knee length shorts from Zappos, $56.

The shoes: Adidas Samoa with black suede and leather upper with white stripes and rubber sole from Endless, $59.95.
