Who is Your Male Style Icon?
February 4, 2008 2:34 PM
I had a few friends over for dinner at the weekend and we started talking about celebrities and how easily they set trends and how youngsters -- especially girls -- want to emulate their style and look.
One topic we debated was male style icons -- who has stood the test of time and who is the ultimate male style icon.
I suggested James Dean, another mentioned David Bowie and someone threw Liam Gallagher into the conversation. We all had our own ideas of what made a male style icon -- so I ask you this: Who is your male style icon and why? Ruth@HJi x

It might sound corny, but as I grew up in the 70's, my absolute style icon was Marc Bolan! To make it even more corny , he still is, and if I didn't have a receding hairline I would be there with my corkscrew hair floating down my back, I would be wearing the silk trousers, which would be ever so slightly snug, of course I would be wearing glitter around my ever so slightly wrinkled eyes, and naturally I would be the envy of every male in town!!! Isn't it fantastic when your childhood icon becomes your adult hero!

Enter comments I agree with James dean! He started the trend with his hairstyle, and it is amazing how so many years later, men are wearing their hair in the exact same style! I love James Dean, and I am a big fan of his!
