If there's a deliciously evil male villain, he's going to be a well-dressed villain. He'll wear a sharp-looking suit. Silk tie, expensive shirt, exquisitely ironed pants, tailored jacket, leather belt and tasteful accessories. Always perfectly in fashion. Bonus points if it's a monochrome suit, and extra-special bonus points if it's a black monochrome suit. Turns out, evil has quite a lot of money and excellent fashion sense. The villain might well brag about the kickass English or Italian suit he had tailored, possibly during a Mob-Boss Suit Fitting. It's very common for the Corrupt Corporate Executive. After all, clothing that symbolizes status, wealth, and sophistication helps establish a villain as dangerous to mess with, as well as selfish and arrogant. When your evil mook uniforms are made by Hugo Boss, this is Putting on the Reich. Sub-Trope of Evil Is Cool and Sharp-Dressed Man, and Sister Trope to Badass in a Nice Suit. Supertrope to Villain in a White Suit. See also Wicked Cultured, and A Glass of Chianti. The polar opposite of Wild Man — a hero with no resources, no fashion, but a very good heart. The other polar opposite is Fashion-Victim Villain. Oh, and his (normally) Good Counterparts? That's both Gentleman and a Scholar and Officer and a Gentleman. Also a common trait of Louis Cypher. noreallife |

All over the place in Scream Queens (2015), given that most of the cast are both current or former members of Kappa House and certifiable sociopaths. Occasionally subverted with certain... questionable fashion choices on part of Chanel #1. Gigi is the best example, since she's a murderer and a fantastic decorator. Even Grace admits that some lamps she chose really tied her dad's living room together. | |

Tsukiyama Shuu from Tokyo Ghoul. A Ghoul born into a wealthy family, he surrounds himself with luxury and is always dressed in designer clothing even when he expects a battle. His preference for exceptional victims has earned him the title "Gourmet", and he enjoys having his victims prepared in imitation of high-class dining. | |

The Mole twins in The City Without Memory. Each of them is dressed in pitch-black, with a silver cape and a wolfskin, and it looks very impressive. They are also among the least principled antagonists, being a couple of bandits who make war with everyone in sight. | |

Paris and Hecate Jakoby from Dragon Factory. They are rich, perfectly beautiful, like to surround themselves with beauty - and they dress so well that they are often shown in glossy magazines or have interviews published. They are also utterly immoral and (especially Hecate) kill people for pleasure. | |

James St. Patrick, the lead character in Power. He's a major drug dealer who worked his way up from the hood where he was a corner boy to the top of the distribution business. He lives in a penthouse apartment, above the lawyers and the doctors, and wears stylish, tailor made suits. While the image is mostly legitimate - he truly does embrace the high life - he also still enjoys many of the simple pleasures from his poor upbringing when he gets the chance. | |

Gotham has several. The characters that probably fit best are Oswald Cobblepot, when he's not down on his luck and has access to all the wealth of a mob kingpin, and Jeremiah Valeska. Both are extremely fond of nice, possibly custom-made suits, though their dress sense can be a tad eccentric, with Jeremiah's preference for bold colors and Oswald's tendency to occasionally accessorize with less business formal things like feather boas. | |

In Justice League, Vandal Savage always wears a nice suit or a nice uniform, when he hasn't had a castle dropped on him. Also, the Ultra-Humanite is a lover of the fine arts, including opera (much to the chagrin of Luthor, who hates opera, and has a cell next to his on Stryker's Island). | |

In the '94 version of The Shadow, they parody the classic radio show's Product Placement in an exchange between a fur-and-armor wearing mongol barbarian and the slick Tuxedo and Martini hero: Incidentally, the next time Cranston catches up with Khan (having dinner at a restaurant) the villain has acquired himself a suit and tie. It doesn't suit him (no pun intended). |

Hannibal: More than any other version of the character (because he's a free man for most of it), Dr. Hannibal Lecter is a man of extremely refined culture and wealth, and both actively and passively shows it off in virtually every scene he's in. His expensive and stylish attire and the exquisite artwork and decor that line his house are all used by him to display his feeling of inherent superiority over the common man. | |

DC Animated Universe: Batman: The Animated Series has The Joker, Two-Face, the Riddler and the Mad Hatter, who all wear over the top suits, and the Penguin, who wears a more conventional (allowing for his body shape) formal suit. An essential feature of Lex Luthor in Superman: The Animated Series. He is always seen in black coat and slacks, with a white vest and tie. In his last appearance, in the Justice League Unlimited episode "Destroyer", he even remarks that to properly deal with Darkseid, he has to get into his "power suit", abandoning the khaki uniform he had been wearing for his original garb. In Justice League, Vandal Savage always wears a nice suit or a nice uniform, when he hasn't had a castle dropped on him. Also, the Ultra-Humanite is a lover of the fine arts, including opera (much to the chagrin of Luthor, who hates opera, and has a cell next to his on Stryker's Island). |

Wonder Woman: In the Post-Crisis continuity, Angelo Bend (Angle Man) switches out his vibrant green bodysuit for a well-tailored suit reflecting his wealth for most of his appearances. This refelcts the original Golden Age Angle Man's fashion sense, though he one was just a very clever boss of a group of theives rather than superpowered. | |

Lucius Malfoy from Harry Potter, as befitting the patriarch of a very old and prestigious wizard family, wears rich and tasteful robes. Not quite as evil, but also somewhat ethically challenged and narcissistic, is Gilderoy Lockhart, who relied on questionable means to advance his career. His clothing is more overtly showy than Lucius' but no less impressive. |

Demon: The Fallen has an interesting justification in a short vignette written from Lucifer's perspective. He can't feel pleasure, or happiness, or anything good... but the bad stuff? He can feel the bad stuff. Every scratch of the fabric, every slight pain from an ill-fitting piece of clothing, every pang of hunger. He travels in utmost luxury, wears the best clothes and eats the finest food just so he can get as close as possible to feeling nothing. | |

The Dresden Files: Gentleman Johnny Marcone, wears suits that cost more than Harry's car and once managed to throw a concealed knife through a rope holding him up while hanging upside down and spinning around while a bloodthirsty loup-garou was about ready to try to eat him. In the dark. He's an Anti-Villain who ends up in Enemy Mine situations with the heroes a lot, but he's still not exactly a nice guy. He is, however, composed of pure, solidified Badass Normal. Lara Raith is also a pretty snappy dresser. Presumably she gets this from her father. Then there's Affably Evil Nicodemus. There's also Hades, whose home is described as Smaug's hoard, only with OCD and relentlessly good taste. In his capacity as the god of wealth, he's picked up a fair number of treasures over the millennia, a surprising number of which are artworks of various kinds. He also dresses well, and offers Harry a glass of very good wine. Though as Harry points out, he's not evil; despite the tendency of modern authors to portray him as the Greek analog of Satan, he's actually Heroic Neutral. |

Even when he's torturing someone bloody in his manor house. In contrast, other powerful demons go for the Big Red Devil or other Monstrous Humanoid look, and have domains in Hell to match. | |

More modern vampires also dress smartly, and the really dangerous ones (who aren't Black Ribboners, but are too modern to bother with all the traditional stuff that gives the prey a chance) can be recognised by their fancy waistcoats. Cosmo Lavish in Making Money tries to pull this off (in imitation of Vetinari, who isn't exactly evil) and completely fails due to being morbidly obese. Every single Assassin. After all, if one isn't impeccably dressed in the latest black silk, one might as well be a common thug who kills people for money. Maladict, a vampire, manages a variant of this trope while in the army, by wearing the uniform so it's "deshabillé [...] scruffy, but with bags and bags of style". Lord Hong in Interesting Times, who, in addition to being a very well-dressed Agatean nobleman, has a very expensive suit of Western Sto Plains clothes for when he conquers Ankh-Morpork, complete with silk-lined cloak and a hat with a feather in it. |

Some James Bond villains fall into this trope. Subverted(?) since our James is a pretty sharp dresser himself. Subverted even more strongly in the books, where Bond (who dresses sharp, but subtle) often notes the fabulously expensive outfits the villains are wearing are also terribly flashy, garish, and a sign of "trying too hard". | |

Vergil, as seen in Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening, wears a more old-timey outfit, complete with ascot, compared to Dante's modern fashion sense. Then again, he is an Anti-Villain rather than all-out evil. The human form of their father Sparda wore even more old-timey, complete with elaborate cravat, but he was a Defector from Decadence. Dante's lack of this has been theorised by some as symbolic of his estrangement from his family, which may make his case a Defied Trope. | |

The Goa'uld in Stargate SG-1 tend to go for the traditional A God Am I-style flowing robes, headdresses, and gold ornamentation everywhere. The Affably Evil Baal, however, prefers a stylish turtleneck-and-suit-jacket combo - especially when he's pretending to be the CEO of a major Earth corporation. The fact that he's the only Goa'uld who remembers that he's only pretending to be a god probably has a lot to do with this. | |

The Shade, the Penguin and the Gentleman Ghost in The DCU all commit crimes while dressed in top hats and suits. Most Batman villains have worn a suit or tuxedo at one time or another. Two-Face is known for his symbolically split two-tone suit, though no top hat. The Riddler goes back and forth between a natty question-mark-themed suit with spats, bowler hat, and cane, and a ridiculous unitard version of same. The Joker sometimes wears a tuxedo, Depending on the Artist. Alex Ross' version of the character wears a black tux (no purple) and a white bow tie with spats and a cane. In fact he quite often wears tails, which constitute "white tie" and thus out-formal a tuxedo (black tie), but since he often wears his tails before 5 P.M., he's obviously a bounder of no breeding. The Penguin mixes evil with a comically overstated sense of upper class style. The archetypical Penguin outfit includes top hat, tails, cigarette holder, and monocle. When he's wearing one, Ra's al Ghul will almost always be seen in an exquisitely well-tailored green and/or black silk suit and cape. Superman: In his Corrupt Corporate Executive incarnation, Lex Luthor almost always wears a black or gray business suit. In fact, in the DCU, the "Luthor Look" — a black suit and shaved head — became the preferred style for CEOs. In Who Took the Super out of Superman?, Xviar wears a sharp-looking, three-piece beige suit at all times. Wonder Woman: In the Post-Crisis continuity, Angelo Bend (Angle Man) switches out his vibrant green bodysuit for a well-tailored suit reflecting his wealth for most of his appearances. This refelcts the original Golden Age Angle Man's fashion sense, though he one was just a very clever boss of a group of theives rather than superpowered. Vandal Savage is usually shown wearing expensive suits. In fact, he probably invented them. |

In The Guardians, this is the form demons take to live among humans and tempt them into evil; at least one is a US Senator. Subverted when the Guardians can't find a demon and later realize it's taken the form of a woman of wealth and taste. | |

Percy Blakeny takes this to extremes in The Scarlet Pimpernel (1982) as part of his deliberately over-done Idle Rich act. His discussion of his own and other men's lace on their shirt cuffs is particularly well done in persuading Chauvelin that he cannot possibly be The Scarlet Pimpernel. | |

Cardinal Albert Simon from Shadow Hearts is dressed impeccably, wearing a very neat black suit, Waistcoat of Style, pocket watch, and tall top hat (the game being set in 1913, it's thematic). Being a Well-Intentioned Extremist, one might say it's either subverted or played straight. | |

Woland of The Master and Margarita: throughout most of the book, he appears as a wealthy, educated, and flamboyantly dressed foreigner. He's also Satan, so evil comes naturally, although whether his actions are for good or ill constitutes a debate unto itself. | |

Gundam: Mobile Fighter G Gundam: Prime Minister Wong! Aside from his well tailored suit and Cool Shades, he's rarely seen without his flying pimp throne and glass of chilled pocky. Mobile Suit Gundam SEED: Murata Azrael shows up dressed in a very nice blue suit. It's a stark contrast to the pajamas his successor wears. Mobile Suit Gundam Wing: Trieze Kushrenada's miliary dress uniform fits nicely with his magnificent bastardry, although he's more of a Well-Intentioned Extremist than any kind of evil. Mobile Suit Gundam 00: Alejandro is seen wearing a tailored red suit in every single appearance he makes, except in the Season 1 finale. |

Superman: In his Corrupt Corporate Executive incarnation, Lex Luthor almost always wears a black or gray business suit. In fact, in the DCU, the "Luthor Look" — a black suit and shaved head — became the preferred style for CEOs. In Who Took the Super out of Superman?, Xviar wears a sharp-looking, three-piece beige suit at all times. |

Used a lot in Tiger Mask: the usual attire of Tiger's Cave wrestlers for public non-fight apparitions is an expensive suit and the mask, Tiger's Cave admins wear nice suits and a Ku Klux Klan-like mask, Mr. X almost constantly wears an expensive shirt, tuxedo and top hat suit complete with a golden ring with a tiger's head (the exceptions being when refereeing the World Maskmen League, when he discarded the tuxedo and top hat while on the ring, and a travel attire he wore twice while trying to pass unnoticed), the anime-only supreme admin almost always wears a nice white suit (even if never with the mask), and many heel wrestlers outside of the ring wear expensive clothes of good taste. Played with by the protagonist: while his out-of-the-ring attire as Tiger Mask is composed of the same suit as the admins, the mask and a tiger-striped cloak, he's quickly revealed as an Anti-Hero. | |

The Vampire Chronicles: Lestat insists on being at the very height of fashion wherever he goes. Whether he's in a frock coat, three-piece business suit, Badass Cape, or jeans and t-shirt, everything is of the highest quality and selected to convey the image Lestat wants to impart. Interestingly, Lestat seems to have an almost Cloud Cuckoo Lander-like attitude towards his wardrobe, veering wildly between disinterested and obsessive. Clothes that he gets dirty will often be shoved in the bottom dresser drawer and never thought of again, while he showers adoring affection for an old woman who knows the story behind the themed cameo-image buttons on the jacket he's wearing. He plays with a Refuge in Audacity approach in Blood Canticle when he and his latest proteges "invade" a remote Caribbean island: They could easily sneak in through the heavy jungle, or just use their powers and slaughter everyone between them and the information they're seeking, but Lestat instead decides to garb his coterie in the most outlandishly over-the-top outfits in their wardrobes and dazzle their way past the drug lords in residence: The young man with him dresses in a metallic gold three-piece suit, the young woman in a high-hemmed ostrich feather dress not out of place in the Roaring 20's, and himself in a full leather suit described in the book at least a half dozen times, because he likes it that damn much. | |

Several of the World Government's employees in One Piece follow this trope. Notable examples are CP9 and the Admiral Kizaru. Crocodile commits all his devious schemes decked out in one of the pimpest don outfits of all time, hell, one of the first things he does after his arrest he gets a solid black even cooler version of the suit. Doflamingo, given that he is not only a Shichibukai but also the King of Dressrosa and it is implied he has connections with the World Nobles he is a former World Noble himself. Capone "Gang" Bege is always dressed in a nice suit, fitting his identity as The Don who decided turn to piracy after land-based rackets got too easy. He enforces it among his men and would-be allies (forcing the Straw Hats to dress up to meet him during their alliance in the Whole Cake Island arc), and also expects them to carry themselves with proper manners and grooming. |

Good Omens: Raven Sable is a famous, jet-setting restauranteur and diet guru, always looking lean and well-dressed. He's also secretly Famine, one of the Horsepersons of the Apocalypse, and he secretly revels in encouraging humans towards disordered eating, food waste, and the consumption of unsatisfying meals, from nouvelle cuisine in tiny portions to fast food and junk food with only slightly more nutritional value than the packaging. Crowley tries to pull this off, but sometimes has trouble getting it right (much like he sometimes has trouble being truly evil). For example, he drives a vintage Bentley... with fake bullet-hole decals on the rear window that he got from a James Bond promotional giveaway. |

He's uniquely disgruntled when someone vomits on his expensive suit and he's stuck wearing a secondhand t-shirt with a restaurant logo on it. However, he's not evil- Satan Is Good is firmly in effect for this series. | |

Magic: The Gathering: The vampire Sorin Markov. It's stated that, when he's not upholding various pacts that he's made over his extremely long life, he's pursuing only his own pleasure. Innistradi vampires on the whole are like this. If you're on New Capenna and you're not dressed like it's The Roaring '20s, it'll paint you as a tourist so effectively you might as well be wearing an "I <3 NC" shirt. As a result, while there is some variety — such as the Riveteers typically sporting downmarket work clothes, as befits a more underclass kind of gang — there are a lot of prominent gangsters and scoundrels sporting fancy suits — just look at Ob Nixilis in a very flashy black and gold number. |

Game of Thrones: Lord Petyr Baelish always dresses in a dapper manner befitting his station as Master of Coin. It being a Medieval Fantasy series, this tends to get him underestimated rather than respected — he's a businessman, too effete for the warrior nobility and too low-profile to fit in with the more extravagant members of court — which is likely all part of the plan. Also the Lannisters naturally, since the current head of their house at the series' start is said to shit gold. Janos Slynt fancies himself one upon his elevation to Lord. He knows his wine, at least, but he can't disguise his status as a cowardly traitor. |

Spider-Man: The Kingpin only wears personally tailored designer suits. Of course, given his size, his suits would probably have to be custom made regardless of the quality. Morlun always dresses in very elegant clothes that never seem to get damaged in his massive fights with Spider-Man (except when Morlun blows up a building with Morlun inside. Then they just get incinerated). His siblings also wear them. |

When he was playing the heel, Alberto Del Rio would often show up in expensive cars with a gold scarf and a nice suit, claiming that all of his lavish trappings were things he was "destined" to have. This is dropped when he's face, instead playing on his proud Mexican heritage. | |

Patrick Bateman's love of suits and fashion, as mentioned in Film, is given considerably more screentime (so to speak) in the book: every outfit is described in great and loving detail, down to brand name, fabric, and cut. If one is particularly knowledgeable about fashion, however, one will notice that the outfits are often clownishly mismatched. |

Doctor Who: The Master, depending on who's portraying him. Roger Delgado and John Simm's Masters frequently wore great suits, Anthony Ainley's Master wore suits a few times, and Derek Jacobi's Master wears a Victorian version. Michelle Gomez, as Missy, takes "man" out of the equation but retains the dress sense, favouring a Victorian-infused purple coat with a brooch at the throat to create the impression of an Ax-Crazy version of Mary Poppins. Then Sacha Dhawan's version moves in and takes the concept in a bit of a weird direction, with clothes that mostly look quite snappy, but have just enough oddities to throw you off. The Great Intelligence shows a similar preference for Victorian dress suits after taking the form of Richard E. Grant. Most of its henchmen, as seen in "The Bells of Saint John" and "The Name of the Doctor", also wear nice suits. Scaroth / Count Scarlioni wears a natty white suit with turquoise elements, lives in a nice house with antique furniture, and even his villainous plan was founded on stealing the Mona Lisa. |

After winning the ROH World Title for the second time, Story Time With Adam Cole became increasingly elaborate after every successful title defense, eventually ending up here with his own throne room full of expensive liquor. This, in direct contrast to Kyle O'Reilly, his last scheduled challenger who he deliberately put off all the way to Final Battle, who is almost always seen in t shirts and mixed martial arts gear. | |

Captain Antares Fairchild, an early antagonist and possible love interest in Starship Promise, dresses in an extremely snappy black Empire uniform with shiny gold braid and trim, with cape, at all times except for when he dons his combat armor. He has a very well-established taste for rare and expensive luxuries that borders on the obsessive, probably because he grew up in poverty in a colony slum. Despite serving as the main antagonist of Orion's first season and starting his own route by kidnapping the protagonist, however, Antares proves to be the very least of the setting's evils, more of a Well-Intentioned Extremist than a true villain. | |

Also subverted by Zinc Lablanc in Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth; despite the name of his Leitmotif being Man Of Wealth And Taste, his outfit is incredibly gaudy, to the point of being worse than Redd's. The only thing Lablanc's really got going for him is that he doesn't have ridiculously-colored hair (blond, as opposed to purple). Also he's not evil. Just annoying. | |

In Nomine: Fleurity, the Demon Prince of Drugs, enjoys affecting the appearence of a cultured, suave man of buisness. When manifesting, he takes the appearence of a handsome younger man, clad in a tailored steel-grey suit, with a shaved head and a sharply trimmed goatee, leaning on a cane and smoking a cigar. He also takes pains to hide the worst of his Habbalah disfigurements, keeping them tucked out of sight beneath his suit except usually for a small earring. Valefor, the Demon Prince of Theft, is something of a clotheshorse, and enjoys going around in bold outfits that mix and match styles and include expensive or historically famous items with which to show off his skills. He has a seemingly inexhaustible supply of Armani suits, French silk shirts, and Italian shoes and sunglasses, all lifted right out of the best tailor shops or paid for with stolen credit cards. He expects a similar committement to style from his followers. Belial, the Demon Prince of Fire, likes to affect this trope as part of his attempts to give himself an aura of sophistication, and usually manifests on Earth as a well-built man in a fine suit. The fact that he combines this with a fully functional flamethrower to make sure that he can properly start setting fires when the mood strikes him kind of puts the lie to it. |

7th Sea: Giovanni Villanova is an archetypal example of this trope. He's evil with a capital E, has a prison built to spec as his own private hell for his enemies, beats his "fate witch" wife, and is generally despicable to the Nth degree... but he's a Prince, by Deus, and that means showing some style. One iconic moment is when he knifes a man from behind (one who's threatening the PCs), shoves him aside... and starts eating the victim's Fettucine Alfredo, because it's too good to waste. He also laments having the cook killed, because the pasta's that good...but while it's one thing to poison an enemy, it's another entirely for the cook to poison such works of art, so he had his men feeding said cook his own poison. Even Evil Has Standards, after all. | |

Buffyverse: All of Wolfram and Hart from Angel. Particularly Holland Manners and Hamilton, who can engage in any amount of badass fighting without ruining his suit. Everybody even comments on how well-dressed Hamilton is during his debut episode. Angelus was always coiffed in the old days. Spike as well. Then again, they're vampires. Dracula is noted to enjoy living a life of luxury, which is shown to be true especially in the comics continuation. He wears costumes that include top hats, rings, leather gloves, capes, paisley ascots, the whole shebang. The Immortal One manages to fit all aspects of the trope without even appearing on screen once. He is suave, Wicked Cultured and worldly. |

Legion (2017): The Shadow King manifests his psychic presence in many monstrous ways. When we finally meet him in person, he's a dignified, middle-aged man of Moroccan descent who wears stylish suits from the 1960s, speaks with a cultured French accent, always wears sunglasses and daintily sips on coffee or cocktails. | |

BlazBlue: Hazama. You gotta admit, that is one nice suit, he's even got the mannerisms down pat. Relius Clover may count as well, though his cloak is love-it-or-hate-it, but he's otherwise complete with cravat... albeit a metal one. He had a more conventional cravat in his younger days and a sharp suit as an Immortal Breaker |

Interview with the Vampire (2022): Lestat de Lioncourt, a vampire who sadistically murders his human prey, wears extravagant suits (Florence de Pointe du Lac even considers him to be overdressed), plus he lives in a splendidly decorated townhouse which is filled with luxury goods. Everything related to how he presents himself oozes elegance. | |

Anyone who teams up with Flair usually morphs into this: Triple H, Randy Orton, and Batista in Evolution, and AJ Styles and Kazarian in Fourtune stand out as examples. | |

There's also Hades, whose home is described as Smaug's hoard, only with OCD and relentlessly good taste. In his capacity as the god of wealth, he's picked up a fair number of treasures over the millennia, a surprising number of which are artworks of various kinds. He also dresses well, and offers Harry a glass of very good wine. Though as Harry points out, he's not evil; despite the tendency of modern authors to portray him as the Greek analog of Satan, he's actually Heroic Neutral. | |
