What better time to amp up your style than middle age?

Adolphe Menjou
The talkie motion picture brought an end to the silent-film era, as well as the careers of most of its leading men. But Adolphe Menjou, whose name was basically synonymous with style throughout the 1920s, was never like most leading men. The classic plaids, tweeds, pinstripes, and flannels of Menjou's personal collection of over one hundred suits and overcoats—all custom-made, with a pronounced slant toward double-breasted—simply commanded respect. (His formidable physique didn't hurt, either.) "Good taste in dress is important," he stated. "With the importance of simplicity always underscored." He should know. The man had nine tailors.—COLE LOUISON
