How do you find a style icon who isn’t a worn-out cliché?
Cary Grant, Fred Astaire or Colin Tennant , all obvious choices, all deceased. Even more difficult is selecting a style icon who is also a modern gentleman. Whilst there are many stylish men today, most of them qualify more as cool dudes than gentlemen. Contrary to popular opinion, slapping a tie and a suit on a man doesnt’t make him a gentleman.
Being a gentleman does imply a certain amount of sartorial attention, but that is only one facet of a man’s overall comportment and how he interacts with the world at large.
