It's a Stylish Way to End the Week

 So yesterday was Fancy Friday, the one day a week I dress up in business casual or better.  It is a great way to become more relaxed in "dress-up" attire for interviews, jobs, and more.  I find it is another way I set myself apart from the rest of my peers at university.  I really like dressing up a bit.  I feel like a famous movie star.  Here are some guys I want to emulate when I dress up.

 1.) English-born Cary Grant lost his accent and created his own before becoming a Hollywood star.  He did every role imaginable, from drama to comedy.  With an easy smile, sparkling eyes, and a personality like no other, he wooed audiences from the 1930's until the 1960's.  His clothes reflected his personality, easy going and yet charismatic.  Not every outfit needed a tie, such as the one above, to be classy.  Just remember that when you go digging around your drawers for the only one that matches.

2.) The King of Cool, Steve McQueen dominated many films after Cary Grant.  His most popular and recognizable role was from Bullitt (1968).  Bad-ass detective Bullitt of the San Francisco PD wears a turtle neck with a shoulder holster, then does an epic car chase between two muscle cars around the hills of San Fran.  All with a "Screw you Police Chief Bob" attitude (I don't know the actual guy's name, okay?).

3.) His name is Craig.  Daniel Craig.  The newest James Bond actor really was strutting everything in Skyfall last fall.  No matter where in the world he is, or what he is doing, Bond looks good beating up baddies and their villainous bosses.  Craig does do some of his own stunts in the movie, while wearing the suit.  But when you fix your sleeves after jumping from an excavator into a train, instant amazing.

So there are some of my influences of style.  There are many more, but it would take me a few weeks to get them all here.  If you want more tips on male style, check out the Art of Manliness website.  I'm happy that so many people have hit up this site already, so spread the word.  I welcome everyone who will follow my progress.

Until next time.
