Who has never wanted to be as charming as Humphrey Bogart in 1942 movie Casablanca?
As the American actor embodied the cynical café owner Rick and his chance encounter with a former lover, performed by Ingrid Bergman, he also put on the big screen a timeless style book for the perfect gentlemen.
In fact, every outfit worn by this character is an example of classic elegance which will definitely be in style this fall/winter season, and whose main protagonists are trench coats, designer business dress shirts, tuxedos, squared pocket handkerchiefs and suit jackets.
TRENCH COAT
Bogart wears a fitted trench coat, useful to stay warm and dry in a rainy day. It definitely is the must-have of this season. You can combine it with a dark tie and a fedora hat.
WHITE TUXEDO
Elegant and passionate, in this scene Bogart wears an ivory white tuxedo. His jacket reminds of the shape of an hourglass, with high armpits and a fitted waist. You can combine it with a white cotton shirt, black pants and bow-tie.
TWO PIECES SUIT
An essential item in every man’s wardrobe: a two pieces suit combined with a white shirt. In this case you could change the color or the pattern of your tie in order to show your personality. And, last but not least, put a squared handkerchief in your pocket: it is a classic detail that is fast coming back into vogue.
GREY COAT
A squared wool suit can look even smarter if you put on a wool coat with lapels and buttons on its front closure. Add a hat and a tie to add a mysterious touch to your look, and remember: pay attention to the color combination!
