Paul Newman: Style Spotlight
For Paul Newman, an icon of the silver screen and a darling of the fashion world, minimalism was the name of the game. Never a slave to the trends of the moment, Newman built his wardrobe around classic pieces that were masculine and age-appropriate. Unlike some of fashion’s elite, Paul Newman never relied on wild hairstyles or edgy accessories to make a splash. Instead, he favored traditional elements that looked great anywhere he went.
Newman’s formal style revolved around basic pieces that should be the foundation of any well-dressed man’s wardrobe. A glance through photos of the Hollywood star shows a penchant for white oxford shirts, navy blue ties, and dark double-breasted suits. Every element was fastidiously tailored and styled to perfection.
But it’s Paul Newman’s casual wardrobe that most endeared itself to style stars everywhere. His rugged take on menswear has inspired countless fashion luminaries, thanks to his love of rugged denim, corduroy, and Chukka boots.
Though he is associated with timeless luxury brands like Persol sunglasses and Rolex watches, Newman also believed that casual style is where he shined most – to celebrate his 75th birthday, Newman burnt his tuxedo and declared himself “done with formality” for good.
