ICONIC MONDAY - PHARRELL WILLIAMS

Ok, so not exactly a ground breaking announcement that Pharrell Williams, Esquire's Best Dressed Men of 2005, is a style icon but it is my wish, no my duty, to cover a broad range of celebrities and styles. After covering rocker Pelle Almqvist last week, it only seems fair to cover someone from the hip hop/rap industry.

Self confessed nerd and avid follower of Star Trek, he is not what you might call a typically "cool" person, but I think we have all come to the conclusion that trying to be "cool" is most certainly the complete opposite.

What impresses me with this 'ere man, is his versatility because I for one never stick to the same style eg. indie, preppy etc... I usually change it on a daily basis. I'm not saying that's right, I'm just saying that is what Pharrell and I share in common, sadly this is where the similarites end.

Promise next week will not be a musician.

Let's begin with the money maker... le face.

He is one half of producers The Neptunes. Lead singer and drummer for N*E*R*D. Co-founder of Billionaire Boys Club and Ice Cream Clothing.

He also looks quite good in a black and white portrait shot.

I spoke about the various styles of clothes he wears so just to prove I'm not fibbing, check out the snaps........

GEEK

He owns a fixie. Nuff said.

Although "retro" is on the wain, I still feel there is room for a nice old school grey jumper, especially when it dons the logo of your own multi-million dollar clothing line.

URBAN

These collegiate jackets have experienced somewhat of a rise in popularity over the last cuppla' years and can be found in vintage shops and markets all over London, although you may end up paying over the odds because they seem to be hard to get hold of/they're taking the biscuit.

Hel looks natural, fun loving and cool in this outfit. Bright bold colours look best on top of dark skin tones, if you're a sunburnt red head returning from Kavos don't attempt to wear this tone of red, ever.

CLASSICAL FORMAL

Whether it is the hours of tailoring he can afford or the fact that his athletic physique fits a suit perfectly he most certainly looks suitably stylish and handsome in this 'ere snap.

While it is unlikely you are going to have the kind of moolar Mr. Williams has to shell out on a suit, you can take notes. Get the fit right, get the colour right, get the finish right. Spend that bit more and sent it into to be adjusted, it will be worth it. At the moment I would suggest a nice shiny dark grey suit in a tight quirky fit.

He once more shows his versatility as he look sultry and desirable in these fine garments courtesy of Louis Vuitton, posing alongside supermodel Natasha Poly for Russian Vogue.

To avoid banging on about all his different looks I am going to plonk a load more images on 'ere and you can make your own decision, perhaps not the point of a blog but I for one believe in democracy, not a dictatorship.

Couldn't help myself. Had to write summit.

This is more of a middle of the road outfit. Smart Casual. Blending a New-Era cap and a granddad's cardigan in a way only he can do.

I like the red checked shirt, with the navy over coat and brown suede hat. It is a classic look, but with a modern twist.

Shiny trousers. Beautiful jacket. Silly pose. Doesn't matter.

This might be my favourite shot because the outfit is very "current" with the military type grey blazer, cut in a relaxed yet classic style.

Using the same colour, grey in this case, in such a delicate and canny way can create an more interesting ensemble than mixing prints and colours.

I reckon.

Once again, he uses a pale and natural palette for this outfit, and the grey belt screams European tailoring over the decades.

That broad behind seems to approve of the outfit anyway.......

So yeah, have fun, wear what you want, whenever you want (within reason).
