i think it works...because despite the polish (it seems more polished in the pic than in real life, the blazer is actually quite a rough piece), the proportions of the clothes are rugged and imperfect, much like the carpes itself.

Man, I can talk myself out of a murder case! HOO-AH (high fives self)!

It's hard to challenge a man who is so ******* talented he can wear whatever the hell he wants.

Le sigh.....

ah yes, The Purple One is a worthy addition indeed.

a lot of celebs fall into that category...&quot;so talented/famous they can wear whatever the hell they want.&quot; Prince is one of the few who uses his pass with style...unlike the countless of people out there who look sloppy. Leonardo Dicaprio is an example that comes to mind...the guy wears expensive suits but somehow manages to make them look cheap.

Amongst all the pictures posted so far, what is common between most of these stylish men?

A cigar/cigarette/pipe and big frames.

smoking is arguably the most stylish pastime in the world.
