17 Hot & Classy Photos of Ian Somerhalder Because Even a TV Bad Boy Looks Good Dressed Up

Damon Salvatore may be a TV bad boy, but the guy who plays him is anything but. Actor Ian Somerhalder loves animals, gets along with his exes, and definitely does not kill and eat human beings. But perhaps the biggest difference between Somerhalder and Salvatore is their style. The elder Salvatore brother has never met a leather jacket he doesn't like, but Somerhalder prefers to hit the red carpet in a tailored suit. And while we aren't complaining about either style, let's take a look at some of Somerhalder's best suit moments — because even bad boys know how to look good.
