Mix some maritime feeling together with bloody reds and contemporary matching and you got yourself a 2016 version of the quirkiest style icon.
Sure he could dance your hat off. Looking back at his outfits, both in movies and in his real-life adventures, whether it was a studio party by the pool or a hand in hand walk around town with one of his (three!) wives, the actor-slash-dancer was really a style icon, a well groomed, dapper gent with guts and charisma. This summer’s fashion collections are reaching very close to his favorites, so it is easy to choose some key items that will give you his unique touch and his one of a kind attitude towards dressing up.
L’IMPOSANTE CAN BE THE PERFECT TIME KEEPER FOR SOME ELEGANT TAP DANCING MOVES!
·The shoes. Soft, suede loafers that you could easily cha-cha in, and of course, with no socks. Our favorite policy here becomes a must.
·Chinos. Choose crisp, white ones that will give away an aura of gentility and peppiness.
·The jacket. In a bold color, standing out on its own, with no affiliations to the rest of the outfit, this item at first seems off but if you see what it does to your style, you understand that it glues it all together. Pay attention to the details and make sure it is well tailored, with a perfect fir and the color you choose compliments the rest of your palette.
