9 Style Moments that Make Apo Nattawin one of Asia’s Best Dressed Men
Since he first rose to international acclaim, Nattawin Wattanagitiphat, best known as Apo in the fashion and entertainment spheres, has lived up to his reputation as one of the best-dressed Asian men. The Thai actor stole viewers’ hearts across the world with his role in the hit series KinnPorsche in 2022. Shortly after, he went on to capture the hearts of fashion and beauty brands worldwide with a sophisticated presence and laid-back charm.
Last year, Apo — along with his KinnPorsche co-star Mile — was appointed as a brand ambassador for the French powerhouse Dior, a role that has taken him around the world for fashion events and high-profile events. As a testament to his fashion prominence, he was also selected by a panel of experts and industry insiders as a Rising name in the inaugural edition of EnVi’s Fashion Power Player List.
Recognized as one of the people currently shaking the industry and making significant changes toward more inclusive fashion spaces, Apo is the definition of a bonafide style icon. Below, EnVi recaps some of his greatest style moments thus far, from his most daring outfits to his classy takes on menswear.
Sheer Dressing in Style
Trust Dior brand ambassador Apo to make a fashion statement with items from the French house. The actor embraced the naked top and sheer dressing trends for the brand’s Spring Summer 2024 womenswear show. The iconic fashion moment made waves globally. That season, Apo became one of the top celebrities at Paris Fashion Week, gathering $6 million in Media Impact Value.
Modernizing the suit
Throughout his tenure as a brand ambassador, Apo has worn a fair share of Dior suits. However, his look at the 2023 Howe Awards is certainly one for the books. Championing flared pants with the poise of a ‘70s icon, the actor showed how modern-day stars can transform traditional suiting.
Tweed Statement
Apo knows his way around wardrobe staples, so it comes as no surprise he has mastered the art of sporting streamlined looks. For the Bussiness of Fashion’s BoF 500 Gala, he went a step further and switched classic tailoring for a stylish tweed waistcoat. The actor walked the red carpet dressed in an ivory look where the interplay between fabric textures and metallic accents — silver loafers and a gold brooch — proved that menswear can be exciting too.
The Timeless Appeal of a Black Suit
As one of Thailand’s entertainment torchbearers, Apo has been jetsetting around the globe for all sorts of events, from fashion shows to film festivals. At the 2023 Red Sea International Film Festival, the Dior ambassador racked up attention in an elegant and classic black suit. It was a relatively safe choice compared to the rest of the looks on this list, but it showcased the power of adhering to customary dress codes.
Neon Accents
If you ask anyone who’s anyone in trend forecasting, neon green has been on the rise since as early as 2020. The color has slowly infiltrated fashion and beauty spaces but not many are daring enough to commit to the color beyond accessories and small elements. Not Apo though. For Dior Men’s Spring Summer 2024 show the actor tastefully incorporated neon green into his look, transforming a monochrome jacket and pants ensemble into a bold summer-leaning look.
The Suit with a Twist
To attend Dior’s first-ever show in India, Apo put on an outfit that combined modern menswear elements with traditional tailoring. Apo stood out in the sea of well-dressed stars with the smart styling of the suit, which included a twist — futuristic-looking boots and a printed second-skin top.
Preppy Style
Kinn Porsche’s leading man has become a fixture at every Dior event, so naturally, he was present at the opening of Dior’s newest flagship store in Asia. The actor opted for a preppy look for the occasion, wearing menswear staples such as tailored pants, a cotton stripe shirt and a powder blue wool jacket.
Ferrari Red-y
Not anyone can dress in head-to-toe red and look exceedingly cool, but Apo is an exception to all rules. The actor sat front row at Ferrari’s Fall Winter 2024 show, embodying racercore in a total red look. Featuring a patent leather set styled as a leather boiler suit and shield sunglasses, Apo’s outfit was equal parts audacious, fun and hot.
Suede Dandy
When it comes to remarkable fashion moments, Apo is the gift that keeps on giving. The actor, who boasts associations with several luxury brands, put on a classy, Pitti Uomo-fitting look to Promote Piaget’s Possession collection. The outfit tapped into menswear staples that could’ve as well belonged to a dandy Italian man’s wardrobe — including a pair of pleated pants, a suede jacket and a summer scarf. So stylish!
