TIFF Style Guide Sponsored by Yorkdale: how to pull off modern manliness like Zac Efron

Although Zac Efron hit the bigtime via the choreographed pep and too-cute haircuts of High School Musical , the actor has since proven himself a grown-up style icon with a propensity for sharp tailoring. When he walks the TIFF red carpet for ensemble drama Parkland this week, try to ignore the hordes of screaming girls and focus on what he’s wearing: the star has mastered the art of creating youthful takes on the classics. That’s why we worked with Yorkdale Shopping Centre to show you how to pull off his look.
230247 Efron’s Prince of Wales check suit at Cannes last year earned him a <a href="http://www.gq.com/style/blogs/the-gq-eye/2012/05/cannes-celebrity-style-efrons-power-play.html">rave</a> from the style gurus at GQ (Image: Alberto Pizzoli/AFP/Getty) TIFF Style Guide: Zac Efron TIFF Style Guide: Zac Efron https://torontolife.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/tiff-2013-style-guide-zac-efron-01-e1377795911202-96x96.jpg https://torontolife.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/tiff-2013-style-guide-zac-efron-01.jpg https://torontolife.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/tiff-2013-style-guide-zac-efron-01.jpg 667 1000 [] https://torontolife.com/culture/tiff-style-guide-zac-efron/slide/tiff-2013-style-guide-zac-efron-01/ tiff-2013-style-guide-zac-efron-01 0 0
