This is the first post in a new series - S C E N E - O N - B I G - S C R E E N.  We'll be covering some iconic films and we're starting with one of our favourites - The Talented Mr Ripley. 

The film's dark subject matter is set against the backdrop of the visually stunning Italian Riviera. Each character has their own distinct style and we wanted to take a closer look at the male protagonists, Dicky & Tom. 

We've also done our best to help you channel the Riviera this summer, finding some modern takes on these classic styles. If you have any style tips, please leave a comment or tweet us.

Dicky Greenleaf embodies the care-free, effortless cool of the Italian Riviera. Despite his English private school upbringing, Dicky opts for a particularly Southern Italian style -  chinos, knitted polos, white pumps - all thrown together to give a very casual elegance.

Whilst Dicky personified the jazz influenced, counter-culture of ex-pats abroad; Tom is altogether more restrained, organised and American. He sports the preppy, Ralph Lauren look - checked shirts, knitted ties and glasses complete the look.

Marge played by Gwyneth Paltrow completes the cast, bringing a refreshing breath of feminine elegance to the movie. Her look embodies the carefree attitude to life that draws both Dicky and Tom to her, a fresh beauty - she's the all American girl-next-door.
