The David Beckham Style Guide

David Beckham is a sports legend who also happens to be a highly successful model and fashion ambassador. Beckham is the perfect style icon for any guy wanting a sharp and sporty look, that's both classic, and time-efficient. Immaculate Short Hair

Beckham loves the short sides, slicked back hairstyle with volume up top. Even when running around the football field, this legend manages to keep it classy. To emulate his sleek hairstyle you'll want to get short sides with even medium-length hair up top. Simply use some wax to elevate the top section, then slick it back. (For more info on short hairstyles check out the Short Hair Guide.)

Slim Fit Tailored Suits

At formal events or interviews you'll often see Mr Beckham in a tailored, slim-fit suit. His style is simple and classic, preferring blacks and blues over bolder colours. Beckham wears black and navy (sometimes royal blue) suits with a black or coloured plain tie. This sleek and simple style ensures you look great without appearing flamboyant or attention seeking. Beckham's formal wear exemplifies his 'cool, calm and collected' demeanour.

Minimalistic and Stylish Everyday Wear

For his everyday wear Beckham prefers a minimalist approach. Simple, effective combinations of crew neck tees and jeans, or a dark jean and black leather jacket approach. To pull off this look you want to have a collection of nice quality basic tee's in a few colours. Simply pair tee colours like blue, red, white or black over some decent quality jeans/chinos. For a safe bet, go with a mid blue or black pair of jeans. For chinos go for a stone/earthy coloured pair to ensure you can wear a variety of tee's. Shoewise Beckham loves a brown boot, or white based sneaker. Both styles are versatile and worth adding to your wardrobe.

Perfect Skin

Juggling sport and modelling for the length of his career was no easy feat. Beckham understands the importance of a good skincare regime. Even with facial hair and stubble he keeps his skin well exfoliated and fresh looking for every photoshoot. To clear up your own skin, and in turn acheive a fresh clear complexion, ensure you have a good skincare routine. You can learn more about your own skin and how to look after it in my Skincare Guide.
