In the document, several iconic items of clothing and accessories worn by famous actors and style icons are discussed. Steve McQueen was known for wearing Persol sunglasses, Baracuta G9 jackets, and Superga sneakers. He also enjoyed spending time working on motorbikes while wearing raw selvedge denim jeans. For the film Thomas Crown Affair, the title character wore tailored suits from Savile Row designer Douglas Hayward, including the iconic grey Prince of Wales suit.

3. In The Thomas Crown Affair it was a
particular pair of Persol 714 sunglasses
and it was from this moment the brand
would follow him in both his professional
and private life

5. The Baracuta’s G9 was his go-to jacket of choice appearing in both films and on the cover of Life magazine in
one. James Dean had previously worn one when playing the lead in Rebel Without A Cause.

7. Superga was created in Italy in 1911, but hit new heights in popularity when the brand merged with Pirelli in
the fifties. As you can see in the image above, Steve McQueen matched his trainers with chinos for a laid
back Riviera style.

9. In his spare time, Steve McQueen
liked nothing more than spending
time tinkering with motorbikes on
his ranch. Kitted out in raw
selvedge denim from US mills he
wore his jeans in a slim silhouette

11. Whether wearing an abundance of suits as Thomas Crown in 1968 or attending premieres looking smart. When
it came to suiting it has to be tailor made. The grey Prince of Wales which has become the iconic look from the
film Thomas Crown Affair was made by Savile Row’s Douglas Hayward.
