Style – Cinema Inspires

The big screen, the ultimate trend setter. Along with the music scene, cinema has influenced menswear designers time and time again, and will continue to do so. Take Jimmy Dean, he’s been dead almost sixty years yet his on screen style still has a lasting impression on pretty much everybody. We often look to Hollywood when selecting our Style Icons. So let’s take this time to draw some inspiration from some modern and classic cinema style.We’re going to begin with one of the coolest films from the 90’s, True Romance.

In this picture we can see Christian Slater rocking a red print shirt. Print shirts have been massive this summer and it just goes to show they have always been equally as cool as they are today. Put together with a plain white t-shirt and some light blue jeans, whoever styled Slater in this film did themselves proud.The second film were going to list is said to be one of the most stylish films ever. Big claim, and we believe Ryan Gosling backs it up perfectly.

If you’ve laid eyes on the film, you’ll know Goslings’ scorpion jacket was a big look, and he wore it well. But take note gents, never ever try that look. You will undoubtedly look ridiculous. Anyway, here we can see Gosling sporting a Dark blue denim jacket, a timeless look that just can’t go wrong. Worn with a lighter Henley shirt and dark blue jeans, Gosling looks the definition of cool. And he’s the one without the shot gun!Onto our third and final pick. It would be a shame to not feature Mr James Bond. Now we could write endless articles about every single look in every Bond film but, we’ll stick to just one.

The Harrington Jacket, flawlessly worn here by Daniel Craig in Quantum of Solace. Usually we see this style of Jacket in a shade of navy or creme. However, here Craig shows that black works and works well. We don’t think that there’s anything more to say about this look, it’s effortless, masculine and really really stylish.We hope you’ve been able to draw some inspiration from this article, and if so, we’ve picked three items extremely similar to those listed above.
