    Penguin is by far the best dressed villian of all time. Top hats, tailored 3 peice suits, minocular etc. How he never made the list is crazy. Black mask, two face, riddler, kingpin, scar face all deserved honourable mentions.

    Dracula will always be a classic! I also agree with Joker. What about The Riddler? He's seen briefly at the end of the video but the question marks and Green suits are definitely stylish. He even wore purple trousers in some variations which is pretty bold. Hope you all enjoy your weekend.

    Yay, this was great fun! I do very much enjoy a Preston video -- always so engaging! And who doesn't love a good villain?!
    I suggest including Amahl Farouk from the TV show Legion in any future villain style round-ups you might put together. I'd be tempted to say that you dropped the ball not including him here, but I know that Legion is pretty obscure as shows go and that not a comparatively large number of people will have seen it. Amahl Farouk's suits and accessories are INCREDIBLE though, and he is just a great and fascinating character and antagonist to boot.
    The show as a whole has a ridiculous amount of classically-inspired menswear goodness in it. The suits of characters Oliver Bird (Jemaine Clement) and Cary Loudermilk (Bill Irwin) spring to mind especially. I'm pretty sure you could easily put together a whole video on 'The Style of Legion' should you wish, but I understand there may not be the appetite for it. It's the Marvel Cinematic / Television Universe's best-kept secret!

    Lon Cheney Jr. As the Wolfman. People too easily forget how much of a wolfish dandy he was as a plain human. Well dressed down to the Chekhov's Gun that was his Silver Wolf's Head Cane. Also the attire of the OG Invisible Man. When he did wear clothes, he wore very formal attire. Perhaps as a contrast to his stealthy skills and to further accentuate his flamboyant behavior.
