From time to time, as a new segment on our blog, we will be featuring some of the "Style Icons" that inspire us.
This feature can spotlight anyone from an elegant movie star, to an athlete with a uniquely fashionable demeanor, to one of our many stylish clients with a subtle flair for the dramatic.
Today we highlight English-American actor Cary Grant (1904-1986) who is regularly considered one of the greatest male movie stars of all time.
"Cary Grant managed to give great performances in comedies, thrillers, and romances and at all times he appeared cool and imaculate. He had an easy manner, his ready wit and charm complemented by his ability to wear clothes effortlessly. Grant always looked relaxed in his stylish outfits" - Giorgio Armani
Above: flannel chalkstripe suit with wide peak lapels. Staple white shirt and solid tie.
Above: grey flannel narrow-stripe suit, paired with a grey V-neck sweater, white shirt, and pencil stripe tie. Let's not forget the pipe and the brown shades nicely tucked into the breast pocket.
Above: keeping it simple. When your clothing fits properly, subtlety goes a long way. Dark flannel suit, white shirt, solid tie and white pocket square. And how about them specs? Ironically, these are the same black frames that can be seen today in just about any modern fashion/style magazine.
Above: the timeless tuxedo. Someone with great style, in our opinion, remains classic and timeless. The best part about this picture is that it, from a purely stylistuc perspective, it could have been taken anytime between 1950-2010. A peak lapel, one button tuxedo with white french cuff shirt, simple studs & cufflinks, black bowtie, and simple black loafers = forever chic.
Thanks for reading, more features on inspiring "Style Icons" coming soon.
All the best,
The MAB Crew
