Fifty years of looking good: GQ lists most stylish men
TRENT EDWARDS
CanWest News Service

Celebrity culture is rightly ridiculed for revering style over substance. But there's one thing we can thank celebrity culture for over the years: showing men how to look stylish.

As part of their 50th anniversary issue out this month, reporters at GQ magazine picked the 50 most stylish men of the past half century. Here are my 10 favourites culled from GQ's list of style icons and what the style gurus at the magazine say we can learn from them.

1. Woody Allen: Don't try to be someone you're not. Allen has spent a lifetime embracing his oddness, and women have spent a lifetime embracing him.

2. Hedi Slimane: It's all about fit. Your clothes should shadow your body's lines, favouring precision over indecision.

3. Steve McQueen: The simpler the better. You don't need loud colours and patterns to make a statement. A perfect-fitting T-shirt and a pair of black wrap-around shades will do just fine.

4. Robert Redford: Dressed up or dressed down, a cool set of aviator sunglasses with wire rims are an excellent accessory.

5. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards: Nothing finishes off an outfit better than a dash of confidence. That's how rock stars pull off all those ridiculous outfits.

6. Francois Truffaut: Bad weather is no excuse for poor style. Flip your collar up, tie your scarf just so and make it hard for people to confuse you with the Michelin man.

7. Jean-Claude Killy: A truly stylish man is stylish all the time. Hiking up a mountain, working out in a gym or taking the dog for a walk does not mean it's time to slob it up.

8. Kurt Cobain: Beat-up jeans are money outside the office.

9. Miles Davis: Every man should own at least one pair of flat-front, slim-cut khakis.

10. Sean Connery: The little things make the man - add nice touches like cuff links and a pocket square to your suit, but make them subtle.

fireontheplatter the only problem i had with micks outfits during the bigger bang tour was the vest/jacket piece he wears at the beginning of the rio show.

todays header of keith wearing the long beige torn overcoat totally suits him.

More from GQ...

It’s hard to imagine life before the Stones were the Stones, before they were The World’s Greatest Rock ’n’ Roll Band™. But go ahead and try. Think back to Swingin’ London, a time and place that shaped them even as they shaped it. “On Carnaby Street, these kinds of clothes were available for the first time—suede jackets, Chelsea boots,” explains Michael Lindsay-Hogg, the filmmaker behind The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus. “And these young musicians—who were earning money—they bought clothes.” The scarves and dangerously tight trousers that Jagger and Richards favored became the look of the moment—and of the next half century for rockers everywhere. The boys courted their bad-boy image, which culminated in several dubious drug busts. (The photo here shows Mick and Keith in July 1967, after their release by British authorities.) After that, like Lord Byron and other great British romantic heroes, Mick and Keith codified a perfect combination of dangerous and dandy. “Their look began at a time when the world was changing,” says Lindsay-Hogg. “And their look was the one you aspired to if you wanted to be Byronic, to get laid, or to be rebellious.” The rest is history.

• It’s called attitude. Nothing finishes off an outfit better than a sharp dose of confidence. How else do grown men get away with wearing silk scarves and ruffled shirts?
