It's difficult to separate British comedian and actor Sacha Baron Cohen from his characters. There's gaudy bling and track gear from Ali G, ill-fitting thrift-store suits from Borat and all kinds of flamboyance from ultra-fashionista Brüno. But when it comes to sartorial pointers, you can learn a lot from Cohen himself.

In contrast to his outrageous and utterly un-self-aware comedic personas, Cohen adopts a suave, suited-and-booted style when, on the rare occasion, he appears in public out of character.

It's helped him attract Asylum crush Isla Fisher, and that's good enough for us. (It's also preferable to leopard-print hot pants or a neon mankini.)

Check out how you can get Sacha Baron Cohen's dapper duds, after the jump.

Tallia Orange Two Button Navy Slim Fit Stripe Suit
Menswear tradition has it that your second grown-up suit (after a black one) should be navy blue. As Cohen demonstrates, adding this dash of color to your formal wardrobe can open up a whole new world of casually stylish, autumnal-shaded evening threads. ($495 from Macys.com)

Brixton Casstor Straw Hat in Brown
This brown headgear combines rock-and-roll flair with a traditional summer straw boater vibe. ($44 from RevolveClothing.com)

Bostonian Corton in Chili
A pair of brown brogues are a menswear must. Rock them with a suit (as per Mr. Cohen) for a relaxed take on dressing up, or with slim-fit blue jeans for an elegant, hip version of classic masculine streetwear. ($88 from Zappos.com)

Banana Republic Classic Fit Non-Iron Shirt in White ($79.50 from BananaRepublic.Gap.com)
