Casablanca (1942)
Obviously, we couldn't start this little summary in any other way than with Casablanca. A fetish film for many that managed to base itself on the gentleman style of the time, inevitably helped by the imprint of a gentleman like Humphrey Bogart and that impeccable style when it came to wearing the hat and trench coat, which by the way was from Burberry.
A film that although it did not create a style as such, can be considered a benchmark for the successful style of its protagonists.
A Streetcar Named Desire (1951)
The use of white shirts had its turning point with this film and after Marlon Brando's use of them. Reserved until then solely and exclusively as a complement to underwear, Marlon Brando discovers how a tight white T-shirt look can be completely valid combined with jeans, a combination that has remained valid throughout the years until today.
Wild (1953)
Although many associated the rebellious and casual style of the 50s with James Dean's film Rebel Without a Cause, the true creator of that style was Marlon Brando in his film Savage, where the biker style and leather jackets were the main protagonists of the movie, along with those jeans rolled up above the ankle.
This whole style that had its continuation with James Dean, who, as we mentioned before, managed to popularize this style thanks to the success of his films such as the aforementioned Rebel Without a Cause (1954) where he further accentuated the use of the white tank top, combined with a half-open jacket and jeans, which he knew how to complement like few others thanks to his unmistakable attitude.
The Great Escape (1962)
Talking about the style of The Great Escape is undoubtedly talking about Steve McQueen, where supported by khaki pants, boots, and a leather jacket with military motifs, he manages to perfectly capture the aviator look that is so fashionable today.
Without a doubt, that film would be a clear sign that Steve McQueen was the icon of men's fashion in the 60s, as was later reflected in the movie Bullitt, consecrating himself as one of the most stylish actors in the history of cinema.
