One of my preferred elegant men is David Niven. Look at this picture. I love the line of the trousers in particular. No break at all.
Giona.

Notice the taper on the trouser, richness at the waist and hips with a dramatic taper to the bottom just resting on the shoe with zero break...superb

I would often see David Niven walking around London's West End. While he ha dlost a lot of weight by this time, he always looked very elegant. Being well dressed obviously was important to him.

David Niven embodied natural elegance and is a perfect specimen of that truly endangered species. He had presence to spare....
Leonard, you have a question in the Bespoke section.
Thanks

His son Jamie is one of the really good guys as well. He's a friend and I was shocked when I met his daughters that he's old enough to be my father.

For those members who haven't read it, I would highly recommend Niven's autobiography, The Moon's a balloon.
