Well dressed men

I have actually been planning this thread for some time and the fact it has come out parallel to the sexy footballers thread is coincidence.

This is the thread for posting pictures of well dressed men. Men who just look damn good. I am expecting good contributions from Shifty in this thread.

Sean Connery in a Luis Vuitton ad where ironically everything looks amazing except the bag:



I dont normally like short sleeve shirts but Norman Mailer gets it spot on:



I think President Zelaya of Honduras rocks the gaucho look better than anyone:



When filming The Saint Roger Moore refused to use the wardrobe department and wore his own clothes throughout:



Edward Fox in Day of the Carlos*al:

Alright fine Sir_Didier_Drogba, I got some pics for you. Anyway, the aesthetic that I favor is pretty apparent from these three guys: I like a casual clean cut look on sketchy/cool guys.

So here's McQueen rocking a shawl cardigan with a chambray shirt and some dubious prison pants or something.



Paul Newman I think rocked a thin turtleneck better than anyone ever, but I'm going with a similar theme as above with McQueen, i.e. casual cool, but just enough thought and fittedness goes into the outfit that he looks put together. I mean, you could probably assemble this entire outfit for under $100, but he looks badass rocking it.



Miles Davis was more traditional in his clothes than the other two guys (until the 70s when he started dressing like a futuristic pimp), so for him it's more about demonstrating how badass cool you can be while wearing pretty standard fare clothes.



The theme is that for Miles everything fits impeccably, and a rule that I have internalized is 100% followed which is that good shoes can make or break what you're wearing.

Anyway, you could google pics of any of these three guys and have a road map for looking timelessly well dressed; not everyone is going to project the effortless cool that these legendarily cool motherfuckers project, but it's not a bad place to start. And as the last two guys show, sunglasses, cigarettes, and alcohol up your cool points.

He looks awful. I can only assume he is a rapper.

EDIT: Also Shifty I agree about Paul Newman's style but dont think you picked a good picture, I am not into that all white boat thing at all.

To prove I dont think only white men dress well, I do think Marcel Desailly always looks great when he pundits, especially when next to Shearer and Hanson in their untucked primark shirts

I didn't know who that was either and I thought he looked terrible. Sir_Didier_Drogba, I actually like Newman's dirty shoes most of all in that picture. I think it's a perfect example of "sprezzatura" without looking like a flaming homosexual.

Not for me, I prefer the shoes dirty to clean but I dont like people who push the "boat owner" look toooo far..... little touches are great but its all about subtlety.

I'm sure it is common knowledge that I prefer men in kilts to dresses including Mr Connery.

I'm also partial to men in Icelandic sweater. It takes big bollocks to wear something that issue.

The below ensemble is Svarar Knutur whose song didn't win the Icelandic Song Contest but did win the fashion stakes... gotta love the ukelele...

I suggest you all check out this tumblr http://craigsagerssuits.tumblr.com/

Perfect example about how impeccable fit and color coordination don't guarantee that you'll look good. Although I find it hilarious that the NBA guys make fun of him, because I don't consider the current NBA chic to be any better. I saw a spread in ESPN the Mag about Westbrook and his fashion sense and all I could think was "jesus christ, what a homo".

That is awful, I don't get the whole tight jeans/pants movement, its just not comfortable. He looks like Urkel in that pic.

EXACTLY! The whole NBA is cultivating the Urkel look. Most of the guys don't even have lenses in their nerd glasses.
