Andrea Casiraghi

Last weekend a very lavish party was held at Hotel Il Pellicano, on the shore of Porto Ercole, Italy. Hosted by photographer Juergen Teller, it was a party attended by a considerable number of guests.


One of those in attendance was Andrea Casiraghi. His outfit is really simple and ecletic. You see him wearing a white shirt, paired with a navy blue jacket, and washed jeans. To accesorize it he wore a Mala bead necklace.

Thoughtful James Dean

The following James Dean photo is a repost of one posted several months ago, the reason I decided to repost it is because this one is of a better quality. In my opinion one of the best photos of James Dean, looking thoughtful and contemplative (just like me right now) in the middle of a fancy dinner party in Hollywood.

Two Legends

They say a photograph is worth more than 1,000 words, that it captures an instant of time for ever....and well the one below isn't an exception. A "historic" and rare photo for some, including me, because it captures the "Two Rebel Actors of the 50s": Marlon Brando & James Dean. While I'm more keen to what James Dean is wearing, it can be said Marlon Brando is also looking stylish (although it would be better without the black t-shirt underneath). Looking at James Dean's outfit I can see a bit of the late 70s menswear fashions...and to think this photo is from the late 50s, and that the open shirt collar /jacket look is a classical and timeless one, hence it is still worn today.

Printed shirts

The late 60s and early 70s were a reinvention season for menswear shirts. It was the time when shirts stopped being monocromatic and began featuring heavily detailed prints like the ones below. As shown in previous posts, this kind of shirts is a great option for this summer.

60s Mod Staple

If I had to say what's the quintessential 60s Mod clothes item, I'd say it is the double breasted jacket like the one shown below. A must have in every well dressed man's wardrobe. Ideal for those cool Fall/Winter days and even for those warm Spring/Summer days (just look out for a lighter material). Pair it up with some trousers like those the model below is wearing or if you want to give it a modern and casual vibe with some jeans. I recommend the jacket's color is blue since it's a very versatile color and goes well with anything and any time of the day.

All Denim Look

There's nothing so simple and yet classic like an all denim ensemble made up of a good pair of jeans, in this case it would be Levis 501s, and a denim jacket. An outfit perfect for any time of the year, well of course when the temperatures aren't freezing. The photo below shows an example of this in the 70s, notice the jeans are high waisted, and it's not easy to determine if the shirt is a denim shirt or cotton, anyway it works well.

Al Pacino

Al Pacino photographed below by Ron Gallela in the late 70s gives us a good example of how to dress up in a comfortable, simple, and yet stylish way to stroll around town. Wearing a vintage leather jacket, black jeans or trousers (not visible), and a black V neck t-shirt, Al Pacino (famous for his portrayal of Tony Montana in "Scarface" tried to avoid Ron Gallela on the streets of New York.
