Take A Look - Duke Of Windsor

Part 2 of the edition of Take A Look features suits and tuxedos and a man who wore them wonderfully well - The Duke Of Winsor.
Look 1. Perfect tailoring - look at his shirt cuffs. I also love the pocket square fold.
Look 2. Is this not how we all want to look when wearing a tuxedo? Also he makes the button hole (boutonnière) and pocket square work together.
Look 3. Tailoring again and another double breasted suit but what caught my eyes were the socks, beautiful.
Look 4. The most casual picture I could find of The Duke of Windsor. The shirt collar looks fantastic and the sweater fits him perfectly (again look at his shirt cuffs). 

There is one look I wanted to see the duke execute but I could not find it - The Duke of Windsor in a casual double-breasted sports coat. If anyone has any other pictures of the Duke Of Windsor please do let me know.

Take A Look - Steve McQueen

Browsing through the internet I found hundreds of pictures of style icons that wore there clothes wonderfully well. I wanted to share these pictures, so here is Take A Look's first edition - Steve McQueen.
1. Shawl collared cardigan perfection. That makes me want to run out to a store and get me one. The look as a whole can be copied without changing a thing.
2. I have considered turtlenecks something elegant although casual but I would have considered a racing jacket a bit too much buthere McQueen wears it with a racing jacket and it works. It works well. The watch is also beautiful.
3. Isn't this how we all want to look when we take our suit jackets off.
4. Great fit for everything. Double-Breasted suits are always elegant when worn right.
5. Another look that can be copied exactly the same way today. One of my favourite pictures of Steve McQueen. Turtleneck sweaters look great on him.
6. Turtleneck again but this time with a corduroy blazer. The mix of leather belt with corduroy blazer is done perfectly.
7. Workwear at its best by Steve McQueen. The pockets of the shirt are beautiful. You could wear this shirt even now (without the stains and the sailors cap).
