Bob Dylan, The Times They Are A-Changin'

When people think about Bob Dylan, the image of him that immediately comes up their minds is that of him with the "messed up" hair and wearing wayfarers (you can see this photo in one of the blog's 2008 posts).

Like fashion, personal style evolves, and the "look" we're donning today can be different tomorrow. Below an example of this on a late 60s photo of Bob Dylan and his wife walking around an aiport.

Dylan's hair seems more styled, he's wearing aviators, a small beard, and instead of a simple jacket, he's wearing a belted double breasted leather jacket. It appears he's wearing a white shirt underneath, with some white trousers, no socks, and black shoes.

Regardless of these two "looks" in the 60s, it can't be denied that Bob Dylan will always be considered as a fashion icon, and last but not least, a very talented musician.

Cayetano Rivera Ordonez

Cayetano Rivera Ordonez is nowadays one of Spain's most important bullfighters. Yet bullfighting isn't something new for Cayetano, it literally runs through his veins. He is the son of legendary bullfighter, Francisco Rivera "Paquirri", and grandson of another bullfighting icon, Antonio Ordonez.

In recent years he has combined his passion for bullfighting with fashion. Giorgio Armani has invited him to his runway shows and has designed some of his suits and bullfighting attire.

Below Cayetano Rivera Ordonez attending days ago a tribute to his father "Paquirri" on the ocassion of his 25th death anniversary. He's wearing a grey suit with a teal colored tie and black shoes.

Scarface

Michelle Pfeiffer & Al Pacino definetly gave a lesson of style and elegance through their portrayal of Elvira Hancock and Tony Montana in the 1983 blockbuster hit "Scarface". Their clothes throughout all of the movie reflect the style of the early 80s, clothes that can still be worn today and look "2009".

Ties/Cravattes from the 60s

Cravattes or ties experienced also the revolution in fashion during the late 60s and 70s. From the skinny and classic styles of the 50s and early 60s, they evolved into bright colored, bold, and wide pieces. Whether worn with the traditional knot or tied in a loose way, cravattes were an essential item in every man's wardrobe.

Below a photo that shows some ties/cravattes from the late 60s. Dark colors, bright, or with designs such as paisley are just a brief example of the variety there was in these pieces.

Alain Delon's fall jacket

For those windy and cool Fall days nothing better than a wool/cashmere sweater or jacket like the one worn below by Alain Delon in the late 60s. He is also wearing a simple white shirt and some oval shaped sunglasses. Even though Fall/Winter fashions consist mainly of dark colors, I recommend you add a touch of color, or opt for light colors.
