Men’s Style Icons

“Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society” -Mark Twain
<br></br>
Sure, Twain’s above quote may stretch our sartorial ideas, but he was definitely onto something. With Men’s Fashion Weeks hitting Paris and Milan, we are witnessing what guys around the globe will be wearing in the coming months. But, let’s take it back a notch and take a few cues from the dapper dudes of the past who girls wanted to sleep with and guys wanted to be. In this case, let’s leave it to the pros – James Dean, Paul Newman, John Wayne, and Cary Grant.

<b>JAMES DEAN</b> – The one and only Rebel Without A Cause died prematurely in a car crash, and with only three significant movie roles under his belt, while he may be known for his unparalleled good looks, he had a carefree way of dress to match. Plus, nobody rocks a leather jacket like Mr. Dean.

<b>PAUL NEWMAN</b> – Timeless, classic, elegant, and on point, Paul Newman’s sartorial choices, while heavily documented in black and white, stand the test of time. While it may be tough to achieve his mesmerizing eyes (and womanizing ways), brogues, nautical-inspired ties, and crisp chinos will help your cause.

<b>JOHN WAYNE</b> – Long live the days of the Cowboy! The epitome of rugged masculinity, while a cowboy hat may be a tad too aggressive for the streets of Metropolitan Canada, channel his neckties, tweed suits, distressed denim and relaxed henley shirts for an ode to the one and only ‘Quiet Man’.

<b>CARY GRANT</b> – Hands down, the iconic dapper gentleman who needs no introduction, Cary Grant’s sartorial choices have been a hybrid of polished suiting, white pocket squares, sleek bowties, and a hint of preparatory with his ubiquitous varsity sweaters. Now, all you have to master is his charm – something money can’t buy.
