Bond-ish villian types aside, my vote for American style icon is Steve McQueen. He showed how you could wear any classic American work or military clothing and be cool as well as masculine. Taking it up a few notches, he showed Americans how to wear a trim fit suit in the Thomas Crown affair. His look, both casual and dressy, is an example to this day.
Plus, you know that Steve could beat the crap out of any other style icon!

The Duke didn't need to beat anyone up; he would merely order his guards to do it for him, because frankly he couldn't be bothered.

You're an idiot. For the majority of his life the Duke didn't have "guards." Jon.

it's even worse when you see this sort of celebrity style trickle down into the average Asian youth. Yesterday at dinner I passed by this group of young guys, they were all wearing those hip, "in the know" Japanese brands...Mastermind Japan tees, Levi's X Fenom jeans and what not, but it was all pure hype, no swagger. That's the problem...people are concentrating too much on the implications of the clothes themselves rather than thinking about the implications the clothes have on their personality.Originally Posted by Fade to Black
Do you mean that the foundation of style is substance? You gotta have something going before you dress it up?
