"But that's not all that the iconic actor, who passed away Tuesday at the age of 89, is celebrated for. Along with his career achievements, Redford is widely recognized as one of the heavy hitters of late 20th-century menswear, a Mount Rushmore-esque figure who, along with the likes of Paul Newman and Steve McQueen, simultaneously championed a rugged, masculine sensibility and caring about what you wore and how you wore it."
"Luckily, Redford's notoriety ensured that his idiosyncratic style - oversized aviator glasses, floppy bangs, soft-shouldered tailoring and, of course, his signature turtlenecks - was captured in spades over decades. Enjoy some of Robert Redford's best looks below. 1965: Stripes can be perilous; a young Redford, on set for Inside Daisy Clover, made pulling them off look impossibly easy. 1973: Bootcut trousers, ornamental belt, dainty necklace - the man was pulling off trends half a century before they were cool."
Robert Redford had a multifaceted career as an acting star of the 1970s, founder of the Sundance Film Festival, conservationist, and activist. He also emerged as a defining menswear figure of the late 20th century, joining peers like Paul Newman and Steve McQueen in promoting a rugged yet attentive sartorial aesthetic. His style featured oversized aviator glasses, floppy bangs, soft-shouldered tailoring and signature turtlenecks, and was documented across decades. Photographs from the 1960s through the 2000s show him wearing stripes, bootcut trousers, leather jackets, short scarves, and festival-branded outerwear, illustrating his influence on casual and tailored menswear trends.
