Xolo Mariduena may be best known for his role in the hugely popular Netflix series Cobra Kai – but Xolo’s star is set to rise even higher this year with the forthcoming release of the newest DC movie, Blue Beetle.
And it’s not just his acting and martial arts skills that are widely admired by his legions of fans: Xolo is known for his impeccable sense of style, too! From sharply tailored suits to contemporary Clubmaster-framed sunglasses, the star never puts a foot wrong when it comes to fashion.
Get Xolo’s Look
Want to channel Xolo’s style? The star’s got several signature looks – here’s what you need to know to get them all!
Clean Cut Black Sweater and Blazer
This is Xolo’s go-to look for the red carpet: a crisp black sweater, a black blazer, and a single chunky silver necklace. The star sometimes swaps out the sweater for a polo shirt or turtleneck (also in black), so you have options.
Key to this simple yet suave style is the accessories; as well as the statement silver chain, Xolo regularly wears an oversized pair of round glasses incorporating gold frames to add some contemporary edge to an otherwise classic ensemble. These types of specs are extremely hot right now.
Brightly Colored Jackets and Jeans
And from all-black to a burst of brightness: another of Xolo’s most-worn styles combines a brightly patterned shirt with an equally bright jacket in a block color. To make this work, pick one of the colors featured in the shirt pattern for the shade of the jacket, and pair it with a simple pair of blue jeans so as not to risk looking OTT.
The Two Tone
Need more Xolo-style inspiration? Another outfit favored by the star is a colored leather jacket layered over a T-shirt in a different shade of the same color. He was spotted recently wearing a wine-red leather jacket layered over a red-orange T-shirt.
Team with black jeans, a simple pair of sneakers, and a pair of on-trend Clubmaster framed glasses to get the look. These types of frames have rims that are thicker on the top half than the bottom and usually incorporate temple tips for vintage cool.
Shades of Neutral
Xolo also regularly rocks all-over neutral or earth tones for easy-wearing summer styling. To get the look, opt for light tan color cargo pants, a simple white polo or vest, and a lightweight jacket or blazer in stone. What gives this particular style an edge is the incorporation of a single bright-colored accessory to make the whole thing pop. Xolo does this with shades featuring frames in bright red, yellow, or green or with a pair of standout sneakers in bright pink or turquoise.
Denim Dungarees
This may be a slightly more challenging look to pull off, but it can be done! Take your cue from Xolo and pair dark blue denim dungarees with a simple white long-sleeved T-shirt, white sneakers, and a pair of classic aviator-style shades. Less is definitely more – this is the key to successfully carrying off this look.
Xolo’s Eye-Conic Eyewear
One of the most important components of Xolo’s unique style is the eyewear he pairs with his outfits. This is a great example of how the right pair of specs can not only complement an ensemble but even uplevel it.
The eyewear Xolo favors is always on-trend, adding contemporary flair to even the most formal of suit and shirt combos. Oversized round glasses with gold-colored metal frames are a regular feature of his look: this style is a new twist on 90s-inspired small round glasses and looks great on those with square, triangle, and diamond-shaped faces especially.
Xolo is often seen wearing Clubmaster frames, a vintage style that’s set to make a major return in 2023. Fortunately, most people, whatever their face shape, can find a pair of glasses featuring Clubmaster frames that flatters their features.
Glasses with transparent frames are also frequently worn by the star. Like Clubmaster frames, this style is versatile enough to suit most face shapes – even oversized styles, which some people may have trouble wearing, look great with transparent frames, which add subtlety to the design.
Finally, white, chunky-framed sunglasses are one of Xolo’s signature eyewear looks. These types of shades are a great way to add some fun flair to an outfit and can be used to inject a little more personality into any ensemble.
What’s Next for Xolo Marudena?
As well as continuing his role in the Netflix smash show Cobra Kai Xolo is about to hit the big screen in the latest DC Extended Universe movie, Blue Beetle. For Xolo, being the first Latino actor to play the role of a superhero in the franchise is a significant positive step in terms of overturning the stereotypical depiction of Latino characters on the small and silver screen.
Xolo is highly in demand with studio bosses at the moment, and more films and shows are sure to be in the pipeline. Meaning we can look forward to enjoying more of the star’s signature style on the red carpet over the coming months and years!
