We all know that when it comes to
fashion, young men rarely take their fashion cues from the stars as much as
girls do, but over the years there have been many male icons to inspire style
crazes in young boys across the globe. James Dean’s leather jacket look defined
a generation in the ‘50’s, young men emulated glam rockers in the 70’s and
David Beckham’s iconic hairstyles
of the 90’s took the male population by storm. Today, we have our fair share of
male style icons too - from the music to the world of movies, these men always
manage to look good.
Johnny Depp
Johnny Depp has a distinctive style that
is rare of male movie stars. He is regularly seen dressing down instead of up
and this part and parcel of his unique look. Depp’s love of teaming the grunge
torn jeans look with heavy bohemian accessories just shouldn't work but thanks
to his incredibly youthful looks that defy his 50 years, he can get away with outfits
only attempted by teens and 20 year olds.
Barack Obama
It’s not usual for a US President to
regularly feature in best-dressed lists but that’s precisely what President
Obama has done since his inauguration back in 2009. The President always
manages to look sharp and trim in a well-fitting suit,
whether he is addressing a press conference to thousands or in candid photos of
him taking a break with Michelle and his daughters. There hasn't been an
American president to look quite as sharp since JFK in the 60’s.
Jay Z
As
one half of the most powerful couple in the music industry, you might assume Jay
Z to be fond of the bling and big brands, but far from it. Mr Beyonce Carter
has his own personal style and we applaud him for it. Jay Z is famously partial
to chunky designer sneakers (one Reebok line of which he has designed himself),
but he manages to keep his look contemporary and mature by teaming with a crisp
shirt and a pair of good quality jeans - topping it all off with only the slightest
piece of wrist candy. He must be doing something right with this casual look
because he continues to top best-dressed lists every year.
Boys like to emulate their favorite
male celebrities while carving their own identity for themselves, whether this
is in the form of a hairstyle, jeans or footwear. The latter can provide a
particularly easy way of injecting style into everyday wear. The on-trend and versatile
range of footwear at Skate Hut
can make the perfect gift for the aspiring man in your life.
