10 Style Moves You Should Steal From David Beckham

David Beckham is almost annoyingly cool. And his laid-back sense of style is a huge part of that. The guy knows exactly what he looks good—and comfortable—in. (Of course, the tattoos probably help, too.) Here are some major takeaways from 10 of his best looks.

Beckham is all about clothes that fit him well. The perfectly tailored jeans and not-too-big tee make this outfit feel purposeful, not lazy.

A camel-colored suit is not quite as conventional as gray and navy, but it wears just as easily. Take a cue from Beckham and keep the rest of the outfit classic.

If you want to get into the hat game, it’s worth your time to figure out your face shape. Beckham’s square jawline lends itself easily to a wide-brimmed hat.

If you’re trying to avoid a dress shirt under a blazer, a crewneck sweater in the same color as your suit is an easy option.

Beckham knows classics aren’t boring. Adding your own personal touches—like a ring, a pocket square, a stellar head of hair—make the look your own.

Really, all he’s wearing is a crewneck sweatshirt (from his own label Kent & Curwen), jeans, and a watch. But the sweatshirt stands out just a bit, and the jeans are perfectly distressed. Small details like those make a big difference.

Don’t forget the power of a double-breasted suit. And if you’re bored with brown and black shoes, oxblood is a polished upgrade.

Beckham’s style obviously leans into the athletic universe (soccer and all that), but he always finds a way to make it cool. A long-hem Adidas jacket is one way to do it.

Be excited! Wear bright red hats and gum-sole sneakers! (And keep good stock of slim denim and puffer jackets.)

Here’s an example of how having a reliably good sense of style allows you to take risks others might not pull off. Trucker hats are certainly not for everybody.
