WWPNW?

Way, way back in the day, when Mani was being born, I wrote this post about how, if Mani were a man, he just might be Paul Newman himself: sophisticated yet manly, but never macho. It’s no wonder, then, that as I perused this amazing photo blog I became inspired. As Mani has grown, he really has become even more like Mr. Newman. Mani has settled confidently into “his” personal style. He has grown up!
Just take a look at these photos of Paul I found:

Casual, appropriate, endlessly cool, and the man knew how to rock a few carefully selected, timeless accessories. Plus, ya know… he was easy on the eyes.

Here are a few modern pieces, available at Manifesto, that recall what what Newman was all about; put together, yet carefree:

Top row, L-R: watch, Dean Accessories; newsboy cap, Goorin Bros.; wallet, Property Of; bow tie, Sovereign Beck.
Bottom row, L-R: Bayside Moccasin, SeaVees; Marlin, Born; Raider, J. Shoes; Iron Ranger, RedWing.

Who is your style icon?
