00:00 Hollywood’s Menswear History Introduction

Popular menswear ensembles are often associated with Hollywood style icons. And despite the fact that fashion comes and goes, some styles remain as legacies (for instance, James Dean’s Harrington jacket and jeans combo). So, how did men’s style and style icons change over time, what influence did movie celebrities have on classic menswear, and is that influence as strong as it used to be?

History of Famous & Influential Menswear
00:47 18th Century Fashion — Ruled by Aristocrats
04:04 Beau Brummell Entered High Society
05:50 Celebrities Become Tastemakers - Suits
07:18 Actors Owned Their Clothing
11:40 Casual Styles
12:25 The Style of Men Today
•• More Entertainers, More Style Inspiration
Hollywood is certainly part of the mainstream and pumps out a lot more films and movies than they used to. On top of that, you have places like Amazon and Netflix that also produce a lot of stuff.
•• Modern Hollywood Has Various Menswear Styles
If you look at famous men today in the film industry who are hailed for their style, one of the first names that come up is George Clooney. Frankly, in my mind, he wears more of a uniform and he doesn’t have a very interesting personal style.
17:10 Then vs. Now: What's Changed?
•• Actors Were More Conservative with Their Looks
At first glance, it may seem that actors back then were just themselves versus today it’s all just about marketing. But, if you take a closer, look you realize that, even in old Hollywood, they had their ways to protect the reputation of actors.
•• Men Now Have More Freedom to Choose Clothing
Men are much freer to choose whatever they want when it comes to clothing. Back then, you could wear a suit, maybe a slightly different color, your tie could maybe be different. But, today, you can truly wear whatever you feel comfortable with and express yourself through your clothes.

So, while you can’t rely on Hollywood giving you great examples of classic style, you can bet we always will.
