Cary Grant has no comparison, but, if we were to compare it with an actor of today, perhaps we could say that it was Leonardo DiCaprio or Brad Pitt of his generation.One of those classic leading men who inspired both men and women and transcended beyond the screen.

In his career years he was nominated for two Oscar awards, he worked with great actors (he shared the screen with Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, Grace Kelly and Rita Hayworth) and starred in some of the most famous Alfred Hitchcock movies, but also becameA male fashion icon thanks to the fact that, regardless of what he was doing, he was always perfectly dressed, combed and fixed.

Perhaps the way of dressing has relaxed over the years, now we are not going to the office and the concept of the masculine has changed hugely, but elegance always remains and there are times whenThinking about those icons of the past can give us the tools we need to dress well today.

Cary Grant was never chosen to be James Bond, but he had the best characteristics of the most famous spy of cinema, he was charismatic, eloquent, talented, with an air of mystery and knew how to wear a suit perfectly, and that's why his style continuesbeing an inspiration today.

What can we learn from Cary Grant's style?

There are moments for everything, as for classic smoking

Ok, you are not going to use a tuxedo every day and there are really formal events in which you are well in a suit, but there are situations in which you strive a little more and raise your look worth it.Smoking is your best option in label events, it is a classic outfit that never goes out of style and you don't need to do much to look good, although it is important that each element is perfect.

You can't fail with monochromatic

Not only All Black or All White, monochromatic looks have been used for a long time because they work and look good with all kinds of styles and contexts.It is easy to carry and you can find casual or formal options.You can even play with different tones of the same color to have more depth and prevent your outfit from looking flat or too simple.

The swimsuit is better if it is short

No, Cary Grant did not live in a suit, he also wore jeans, tshirts and more relaxed garments.When he was in the pool he put a swimsuit and made it very clear that it is always better when you leave it a little shorter (which is something that was in a trend again this season).A shorter swimsuit prevents your legs from look very short, in addition to achieving good proportions and helps to get a retro look that is not outdated.

Coats and hats

A good coat says a lot about you and it's not just when you wear a suit.This is a winter basic and autumn that you can use with all kinds of looks and that, carry what you carry, automatically makes everything look a little more arranged.Of course, for it to work, you need to choose the correct color, cut and long.

And there are no longer many men who wear a hat, but doing so demonstrates confidence in yourself and a special sophistication that separates you from the rest.As with everything, you have to know that some styles are more elegant than others and that not everyone serves the same.

All need a high neck sweater

Steve Jobs and your favorite celebrities have used the high neck sweater and that is because it has that intellectual and sophisticated style that is very flattering.The advantage of this type of sweater is that it is very versatile, it can be used under a suit, alone or with a good jacket, depending on the occasion.You just have to choose one that is a little more tight, light and that is made with a material that does not scrape your neck or make you feel that you drown between so much fabric.

You have to adapt to the times

Cary Grant's style was evolving over the years, he always took the garments he liked and that worked well, but adapts to the new styles, cuts and trends, and that is something we can all do so as not to stay behind or stuckIn time (not updating your clothes you can also make you look old).
