Everything must make sense: Alain Delon's style rules that made him a legend
Alain Delon was a style icon

Legendary French actor Alain Delon, who died on August 18, was a standard of style, sophistication and brutality. His images up to a deep old age remained thoughtful, hair always looked well-groomed, and the sex symbol of the last century radiated magnetism.

Fashion editor and author of books about men's clothing Derek Guy analyzed Delon's outfits of different times to show what rules were observed by the actor. First of all, the expert noted that the actor's images had meaning and history, not the desire to follow trends.

Loose cut

Alain Delon despised tight pants, tight shirts and other things that look uncomfortable. He loved loose and light fabrics when it came to shirts, polos, pants and other things.

Tight coat

With outerwear, the situation was the opposite. Delon adored dense, long coats, making his image mysterious and romantic. At the same time, he loved to add a jacket or jacket to the outfit, when it was appropriate.

Quality tailoring

Lapels, fittings, fabrics - all these things mattered to the actor. He preferred quality things, which were often sewn to order. This allowed to avoid embarrassment and from any angle to look winning.

Engraving under the heart

In Delon's youth, engraving and embroidering initials on clothing was commonplace. However, many people did it on their sleeves, whereas the French movie actor chose to place it under the heart, which was hidden behind his jacket.

Recommendations

Relaxed shirts

Until old age, the star had black, white and other shirts in his collection. Interestingly, however, they were relaxed, sewn from linen and other lightweight fabrics. Delon unbuttoned the buttons, could not tuck the shirt into his pants and did everything to make the outfit seductively casual.
