Recently, Kit Harrington posed for the cover of GQ magazine dressed up in an elegant suit and channeling nothing but the utmost elegance and dapper style. While Harrington gained celebrity status on the hit fantasy show Game of Thrones as a brutish bearded member of the Night's Watch, here we get to see the young heartthrob cleaned up in high-fashion looks.

In the shoot, Harrington rocks a mix of [beaten up jeans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/90sinspired-denim-campaign), worn out T-shirts and super fitted suits.
