Timeless Style of Fred Astaire

"I know that once in awhile I've been on lists of best-dressed men," says Fred Astaire, the famous star of stage and screen, "but it always comes as a surprise to me. I never think of myself as spic and span or all duded out—just as someone who wants to be comfortable and satisfy his own taste. Of course," he says, "in my business you have to dress for the role. At home, I dress for myself." - Fred Astaire GQ interview, 1957
