Summary
In the name of the law ". I could see her occasionally on television as a child. He played the role of a bounty hunter named Josh Randall. Then undoubtedly, the first feature film for me was “ The Great Escape ”, a 1963 film that I always enjoy watching again, particularly for its clothing choices.I haven't seen Steve McQueen's entire filmography (almost) and I'm not going to embark on a detailed retrospective of his style in cinema. On the other hand, we must admit that its shadow regularly looms over our topics devoted to fashion in cinema , the one on the Harrington jacket for example.
His character is the only one to have an outfit of his own. We almost only see this: an A2 type Flight jacket, a short-sleeved raglan sweatshirt, light chinos, a pair of brown boots ... And for the more observant, a Rolex Speedking watch.
2. “ Bullitt ” by Peter Yates (1968)
Another great classic from the 60s, which combines several of Steve McQueen's passions: style, cars and unique clothes. There we find several of the actor's most famous clothing combinations.
My favorite revolves around a tweed blazer, a cashmere turtleneck sweater, gray flannel pants and a legendary pair of suede leather shoes : the Original Playboy model from Hutton.
1. “ The Thomas Crown Affair ” by Norman Jewison (1968)
Last great classic, for the Steve McQueen / Faye Dunaway duo obviously but also more generally for the costumes. If you love sartorial spirit, three-piece suits and don't say no from time to time to a more casual outfit, with a Harrington jacket, this film is for you.
5. These pieces that Steve McQueen made me want to wear
1. The shawl collar cardigan
It's a type of knit that I love to wear in winter, especially when the material is very warm and soft . At Steve McQueen, we can find them in the film “Bullitt”, in “ The Kid from Cincinnati ” by the same director or even off set:
2. Suede leather boots
I already own a model from Crockett & Jones , but like many I have always dreamed of a Steve McQueen model, more casual: the shoes he wears in “Bullitt” and in everyday life were taken by the Sanders brand under the name Hi Top . For the record, we find them at the feet of a certain Daniel Craig in the film “ Spectre ”.
1. Light pants
White jeans or light chinos : we find both in Steve McQueen's outfits and you already know how we appreciate all the combinations that we can make with white or ecru at the bottom .
In one of the photos above you will find my three favorite pieces worn by Steve McQueen together. It's magnificent, facing the sea. And you, what are your favorite Steve McQueen films and outfits?
