TREND: Men these days are looking every bit as styled these days on the big and small screen. In fact, they’ve added a very stylish retro element to their wardrobes that make us look forward to not only the show plots but to what they’re wearing on that week’s episode.
On the big screen, James Bond is making another much-anticipated appearance in “Quantum of Solace” which opens today.
Bonds over the years have served as inspirations since the sixties for men.
The small screen, has recently served as a source of sartorial inspiration for men.
