Keith Richards: Eclectic Rockstar

Keith Richards in the late 60s and 70s was one those who represented what it meant to be a stylish Rockstar. From skinny jeans and plain t-shirts, to scarfs, velvet pants, tunic shirts, aviator sunglasses, military and Python jackets, necklaces, skull rings, and hats; Keith Richards proved that different styles and trends can be mixed up with very good results.

Below a photo taken in the 70s of Richards walking in what appears to be a parking lot, probably before boarding a plane, wearing an esemble that shows why he is a style and music icon.

Peter Sellers & Britt Eckland: White Summer

Peter Sellers and Britt Eckland show why white is a color that should be worn throughout Spring/Summer on any given occasion. Not only is white a clean, sharp, and fresh color, but it is also one that with its own minimalism expresses elegance and good taste. Preferably paired with colored pants, or viceversa, white is a color that will make you look good this season. Worth noticing is the contrast created by Sellers' black frame eyeglasses and Eckland's blonde hair with their white ensembles.

White never goes out of style.

Morrissey: How To Wear A Wilde T-shirt

Morrissey, one of Rock's greatest performers and composers, is an icon not only because of his talent, but also due to his impeccable sense of style. From his signature pompadour hairstyle to his clothes, Morrissey's style has remained elegant and timeless ever since the 80s. What he wore as a member of "The Smiths", still looks modern and fresh if worn nowadays.



In the late 80s shortly after "The Smiths" split, he was seen wearing several t-shirts with Oscar Wilde photos printed on them. These were not simple t-shirts, they were a means of personal expression for Morrissey.

Clint Eastwood: Small Details Make A Big Difference

Clint Eastwood on the photograph below is the perfect example on why sometimes less is more and how one element can make a simple ensemble look outstanding. Wearing a plain white t-shirt, Eastwood decided to spice up this ensemble worn when making some phonecalls by choosing cordoury pants and canvas sneakers. And although cordoury is not acceptable and recommendable during Spring/Summer, one can choose from either some colored pants or washed out jeans.
