Dress like Steve McQueen

From the clothes you already own.

Rugged, unfussy American cool: hard-wearing pieces, worn close and lived in.

What you might already own

The pieces

Tick what you already own. Nothing is saved.

The palette

  • navy
  • tan
  • olive
  • cream
  • denim blue

The rules

  1. 01Trim fit through the body, nothing baggy
  2. 02One texture with character: suede, shawl knit or worn denim
  3. 03Layers stay short and functional

Leave out

  • Shine and logos
  • Anything that looks new and stiff

Wear it your way.

Photograph your clothes, pick Steve McQueen as a style reference, and ask for a look in their style. Capsule puts it together from what you own, says why it works, and names the one or two kinds of piece that would bring you closer.

Try it with your wardrobe

Capsule has no connection with Steve McQueen or their estate. This page describes a well-documented way of dressing.
