There is no denying that James Dean was one of the handsome and iconic men of the 1950’s.
He rarely accessorized and his outfits were basic and simple. Even though he kept it simple
James still made a statement with his leather jacket and blue jean combo – making sure the
collar was always up to create that effortless cool. He introduced this style for young men of the
1950's, making it very popular among teenage boys. Although it wasn't a look he wore often
he definitely knew a thing or two about formal dress, but even then he kept it simple.
