How To Wear Like David Beckham ?

David Beckham wields a multi-stringed bow. Women swoon over the footballer for his God-given grin, and men envy his ability to strike a ball – and score. The Briton’s poignant quiff and chiselled jaw has splashed across the cover of big-name magazines making his face one of the most recognised faces in the business.

Despite his retirement in 2013, the man still remains a top scorer in our book when it comes to personal style.

Today we show you how to steal five of the man’s most iconic looks.

Breaking it down

Beckham shops like most men should; filling his wardrobe with staple tailored pieces that hang alongside easy loungewear jerseys and leather jackets. Off-duty, he dominates comfort looks and has no trouble balancing the complexities of smart casual wear.

He favours the tux on the red carpet, and isn’t shy on shorts and shirts snapped up from his athletic kit. Beckham’s thematic approach to style sees him play many roles. There is Beckham the biker and Brooklyn hipster Becks; James Bond Beckham and David Beckham Esquire – the English gent.

To sum him up in one simple sentence: Ralph Lauren suits, navy over coats, denim shirts and Christian Louboutin shoes – topped off with a flat cap or beanie, of course.

Men's Autumn/Winter 2015 Fashion Trends Preview

Now that summer’s pretty much been and gone and sale rails have been picked over, it’s time to start getting excited for the season to come.
Well, maybe not excited, but definitely equipped. With harsher weather on the horizon, we turn our attention to the major autumn/winter 2015 trends and break down what’s worth spending on to brave the elements while looking bang on-trend.

1. The Shearling Effect

Chalk it up to the 1970s revival or pin it on 2015’s rugged masculinity, but shearling is far and away the biggest trend for autumn/winter 2015.
Why? Because pretty much everyone, from Stuart Vevers at Coach to Brit brands Hackett and Burberry Prorsum, offered a take on this classic jacket. And because well-built outerwear is the single most important addition to your wardrobe once the leaves start to yellow and the breeze gets brisk.
Promising warmth (this is, after all, the sartorial equivalent of a sheepskin rug, faux or no) and an air of Steve McQueen, a shearling jacket looks just as handsome thrown over a simple T-shirt and jeans combo as it does a button-down Oxford and sweater pairing.
If you’re planning on getting involved, don’t skimp. Better ignore shearling altogether than pick up a subpar style that might save you a couple hundred quid but looks unmistakably bargain basement.

3 Men's Autumn Wardrobe Essentials

You’ve packed away the swim shorts, sun loungers and suitcases, and your calendar’s suddenly looking desperately bereft of BBQ commitments.

Summer may be over for another year but there’s no time for back to school blues. Why? Because you’ve got an autumn wardrobe to sort out.

Here, we’ve done the hard work for you, separating the seasonal wheat from the chaff to bring you a selection of trendproof and versatile pieces that every man should have in his cold-weather arsenal.

1. The Rain Jacket

Drowned rat is a look even David Gandy would be hard pushed to pull off, and while an umbrella is absolutely worth adding to your accessories collection, a wearable waterproof layer is much less likely to go walkabout.

The best rain jackets smartly blend function with fine design, so you can stay dry without looking like an awkward tourist. Top of the shopping list should be styles that are 100 per cent waterproof, come equipped with ample pockets and are also easy on the eye – you needn’t worry about anything techier unless you’re planning a mountain trek.

Italian outerwear experts Stone Island offer a superb polyurethane-fleece composite jacket that not only keeps you dry but toasty too, while Scandi specialists Rains and Stutterheim both produce simple, wearable designs in several vibrant colours and lengths.
