How to dress down like a legend
One thing that Chet Baker had that was just about as smooth as his voice was his impeccable style. How does such a man dress down to relax his neck from all those collars? The key seems to be keeping things very basic, and adding an accessory that gives some sort of credibility to ones character. Here’s the break-down:
- Some degree of smart wear still needs to be present. Preferably the trousers, which should be at least pleated or smart. No low waists.
- The top should be either a white t-shirt or tank top stuffed into the trousers, or nothing at all.
- The hair still needs to be perfect, in a sloppy way. Very important.
- The accessory: here’s where you add personality to the outfit. Trumpet, woman, or anything that says something about your character.
