Who is your style inspiration?

[Pickie]

Who do you look to for style inspiration? Is it a friend? Or is it a brand? Or a well-known designer/celebrity?

 

[Pinesiw]

My grandfather, hardest workin man I knew

His type of clothing you would have seen him in
And the look of a man in the depression is a look I enjoy

 

[Shangas]

My style inspiration generally comes from TV shows and/or movies.

 

[HadleyH]

I am a simple woman either Hepburn will do .... both amazing in trousers... cool and relaxed style.

 

[Two Types]

In my mind's eye, it would be Ian Carmichael:

But I tend to be more James Robertson Justice:

... althought the beard has got some way to go (and may be coming off soon)

 

[flat-top]

RRL is a constant inspiration to me.

Bogart, Brando, Indiana Jones, Dave Vanian, Sinatra; generic photos of working, professional, and performing men from the 30s through 50s.

 

[Flat Foot Floey]

Brassaï pictures of paris in the 30s.

Jean Gabin

James Cagney especially in early 30s movies like "Public Enemy"

But also in suits like this... and collar bar

And Maurice Chevalier in workwear

You can see the main themes maybe

 

[dmdmorris]

For me, Indiana Jones and Sherlock Holmes (if her were alive today, that is a more modern well dressed Sherlock not the messy, sloppy interpretation that you see on Elementary and Sherlock, although they are great shows).

Dave

 

[1911 Man]

Indiana Jones, Bogart, the entire cast of the 80's film The Untouchables, and some versions of James Bond.

 

[Dixon Cannon]

I have to admit it; Los Beatles! Still wearing "Beatle" (ankle/zip) boots! There I said it right out loud! -dixon cannon

 

[Methuselah]

The wardrobe dept of All Creatures Great and Small:

(Mrs Herriot has Cerberus on a lead!!)

 

[johnnycanuck]

I hate to admit it but besides the usual.Bogart and Indiana Jones. My top two would be "Doctor Who" and anyone from "Last of the Summer Wine"

Love this look with the shawl collar cardigan - dressing like that a lot myself this Winter.

[dhermann1]

Bill Powell, of course:

And my grand daddy:

 

[howardeye]

No one.

I was thinking more Norman Clegg myself and the fourth and seventh Doctor.

Yes Cleggy was a pretty snappy dresser also, Blamire would always look respectable
