One of Hollywood's most underrated action and drama stars - Keanu Reeves, celebrated his 55th birthday yesterday; and it made us realise that this man, really, is ageing like fine wine. With the 1994's "Speed", he gained mainstream popularity and "The Matrix" franchise brought him international fame which is also considered as one of his most iconic movies till date.
His roles in every movie were critically and commercially praised. Moreover, his polite and altruistic personality and his contribution towards social causes has attracted fans from all over the world. With a constant mention of him on social media, Reeves never really leaves the internet and has him gaining the title of "internet's boyfriend".
His appearance on the Saint Laurent AW19 Campaign was the best highlight of the "Keanunaissance"(a word used by fans to describe the year of 2019 for Reeves)
In a world full of wannabe Ken dolls, it's almost comforting to see a Hollywood star who does not conform to the perfect beauty standards and still manages to look undeniably attractive and remains the object of our affection.
His fashion sense is something that hasn't gone through a lot of transition since he has been wearing similar styles for years. His uniform mostly consists of black t-shirts and suits, occasional hints of beige to break the monotony. His style says comfort and classy without trying too hard. Scroll down to check out his chosen looks over the years to inspire your calm and collected fashion vibe.
1.Beige Break
Keanu prefers to lighten the mood with beige, when he is not wearing all-black-everything. If you are also guilty of having an only-black wardrobe, adding some beige pieces to the closet could bring variety and also a sense of coolness to your style.
(Fun Fact: Did you know the name Keanu literally means a "cool breeze over the mountains"?)
2. It's a GO For Jackets
Our man here loves layering which could be a very useful tip as we approach pre-fall, plus, layering makes the outfit cuter! Casual or business formal appropriate layers can add an interesting element to the whole outfit. Opt for leather or moto jackets with a pair of relaxed pants for a grunge/hipster look or keep it preppy with a cropped jacket and a printed shirt.
3. Classic Noir
They say 'You Can Never Go Wrong With An All Black Outfit', which stands true as Keanu seems to have been rocking all black on black styles all these years. His uniform of a black suit with a t-shirt and a pair of brown boots that he's managed to pull off for more than a decade and still look so damn good. The secret: finding a suit that is not too tailored or loose, just a bit relaxed - like Keanu. A relaxed suit can go very well for a casual Friday look and paired with your favourite tee, it adds on to the casual factor.
While we are influenced by fast moving trends and fashion, Reeve's style consistency makes us all believe that repeating outfits ain't bad, because as long as you feel good - you'll look good too!
