Happy birthday to Jeffrey Dean Morgan, born April 22, 1966. The actor cemented his place as a BAMF Style icon for his sleekly dressed role as imposing but honest hotel owner Isaac "Ike" Evans in @Starz's Magic City. Morgan is pictured here in a silky light gray single-breasted suit with slim peak lapels and worn with a white Ike Behar shirt and tonal silk tie, an outfit seen during the show's second season set in 1959 Miami. #hbd, JDM! . . #jeffreydeanmorgan #actor #legend #magiccity #ikeevans #miramarplaya #1950s #1950sfashion #mensfashion #mensstyle #menswear #graysuit #silksuit #suit #suits #suitandtie #tiebar #pocketsquare #smoking #cigarette #badass #bamf #bamfstyle
Happy birthday, Jack. Born April 22, 1937, Jack Nicholson remains one of the most acclaimed actors of all time with a career spanning more than half a century. Jack is pictured here in One Flee Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975), a film that earned him his first of three Academy Awards and helped establish a persona that Ephraim Katz described as an "eternal outsider, the sardonic drifter." . . #jacknicholson #actor #legend #oneflewoverthecuckoosnest #randlemcmurphy #classicmovies #1970s #1970sfashion #mensfashion #mensstyle #menswear #casualstyle #tshirt #badass #bamf #bamfstyle
The ideal #Saturday night... Ella Fitzgerald sings to an audience that includes #jazz masters Duke Ellington and Benny Goodman. Photo by Herman Leonard, 1948. Duke sits front and center in an elegant chalk-striped double-breasted suit, his evening fueled by Coca-Cola, Lucky Strikes, and the First Lady of Song. . . #ellafitzgerald #dukeellington #bennygoodman #jazzlegend #jazzlegends #music #nightclub #speakeasy #saturdaynight #saturdaynightvibes #1940s #1940sfashion #mensfashion #mensstyle #menswear #suit #suits #suitandtie #doublebreasted #pinstripesuit #badass #bamf #bamfstyle #hermanleonard
Frank @Sinatra, enjoying a cigarette or two (or five!) during an appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show in June 1964. #SinatraSaturday The singer had a lifelong relationship with #cigarettes, #smoking and promoting #Chesterfields in the early years of his career. By the 1960s, Frank had switched to unfiltered #Camels with such devotion that a pack of Camels joined a bottle of Jack Daniel's in his casket after he died in May 1998. For his appearance on Sullivan, Ol' Blue Eyes showcases his signature sartorial perfection in a dark flannel suit, hairline-striped shirt with a pinned collar and French cuffs, slim satin silk tie, printed silk pocket square, and pinky ring. . . #franksinatra #sinatra #sinatrastyle #olblueeyes #actor #legend #singer #ratpack #1960s #1960sfashion #mensfashion #mensstyle #menswear #suit #suits #suitandtie #collarpin #pocketsquare #frenchcuff #cufflinks #pinkyring #badass #bamf #bamfstyle
The Big Sleep (1978) updated the setting of Raymond Chandler's seminal pulp novel to the 1970s, a decade that celebrated the bolder aspects of men's fashion... like this chaotic ensemble sported by Robert Mitchum as private eye Philip Marlowe. The two-button sport jacket is striped in blue, gray, and black, though he ignores this theme of cool tones with his brick red patterned tie and scarlet silk display kerchief. To keep the outfit from getting even further out of hand, Marlowe grounds the look with an elegant plain white cotton shirt from @frank_foster_shirts with a tall semi-spread collar, front placket, and button cuffs. (SWIPE to see more of the jacket, including the wide pocket flaps and ticket pocket!)

Bobby Darin swings onstage in the early 1960s, sporting a sleek suit like his crooner contemporaries. Early success with pop hits like "Splish Splash" and "Dream Lover" helped Darin's career evolve as he reached more mature audiences and racked up Grammy awards with standards like "Mack the Knife" and "Beyond the Sea". By the late 1960s, the singer was turning 30 and growing more involved in politics as reflected by his turn toward folk music. A lifelong cardiac sufferer, Darin died after complications from open-heart surgery on December 20, 1973. He was 37. On the 71st anniversary of his birth - May 14, 2007 - Darin received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. . . #bobbydarin #waldenrobertcassotto #singer #1960s #1960sfashion #mensfashion #mensstyle #menswear #suit #suits #suitandtie #concert #performance #badass #bamf #bamfstyle
Chow Yun Fat as Ah Jong in John Woo's action masterpiece The Killer (1989), sliding a Walther PPK from the left sleeve of his brown suit jacket worn with a shirt and tie in subtly contrasting shades of brown. . . #thekiller #ahjong #chowyunfat #actor #legend #1980s #1980sfashion #mensfashion #mensstyle #menswear #suit #suits #suitandtie #brownsuit #assassin #hitman #gun #waltherppk #badass #bamf #bamfstyle
Overseeing his frontier empire on Deadwood, Al Swearengen (Ian McShane) never strayed from his daily outfit of a black track-striped three-piece #suit with a shawl-collar waistcoat worn over a frayed union suit rather than an actual shirt. Doing business with Al could end one of two ways: a shot of #bourbon (often W.L. Weller 107 Proof) and a spit handshake... or a hastily drawn knife. #WesternWednesday "In life you have to do a lot of things you don’t fucking want to do. Many times, that’s what the fuck life is… one vile fucking task after another." . . #deadwood #hbo #alswearengen #ianmcshane #actor #legend #oldwest #wildwest #westernstyle #1870s #1870sfashion #mensfashion #mensstyle #menswear #threepiece #suits #vest #pocketwatch #mustache #drinking #shotofwhiskey #saloon #badass #bamf #bamfstyle
The one and only Sean Connery reclines on the fender of a new Ford Mustang at Cannes, May 1965. #NationalMustangDay Connery's James Bond had just started with - and shredded - a Mustang in Goldfinger (1964) the previous year, though he would finally slip behind the wheel of this iconic "pony car" when @007 borrows Tiffany Case's red Mustang Mach 1 in Diamonds are Forever (1971). The actor dresses appropriately for the warm tropical climate at Cannes in a linen sport shirt and light slacks similar to what he would wear that same year in the Bond adventure Thunderball (1965). . . #seanconnery #actor #legend #bond #jamesbond #classichollywood #1960s #1960sfashion #mensfashion #mensstyle #menswear #casualstyle #summerstyle #cannes #fordmustang #1965mustang #car #musclecar #ponycar #sportscar #badass #bamf #bamfstyle
Did you know today is #NationalMustangDay? The highland green 1968 Ford Mustang GT390 driven by Steve McQueen in Bullitt (1968) arguably remains one of the most famous Mustangs even a half-century after the release of the film, which includes an iconic chase between McQueen's Mustang and a black '68 Dodge Charger R/T hurtling through the streets of San Francisco. The scene featured McQueen in a brown herringbone tweed shooting jacket, navy knit rollneck sweater, charcoal trousers, snuff suede @HuttonBoots "playboy" boots, and a Benrus military watch.
