This week, the Beckham family took over the fashion scene with their daring and eclectic ensembles that left everyone talking. From stylish sons Brooklyn and Romeo to dashing dad David and charming wife Victoria, the Beckham family showcased an incredible range of menswear styles that blurred the lines between fashion and art.
Their fearless approach to fashion is no surprise, given Victoria Beckham’s illustrious career as a style icon and her husband’s penchant for bold and daring outfits on the football pitch. But what’s truly remarkable about this family’s fashion choices is the way they seamlessly merge high-end designer pieces with sporty, street-style accents, creating an endlessly fascinating and unpredictable visual experience.
The Beckham Family’s Fashion Takeover
The Beckham family business is as much fashion as soccer. Given mum Victoria’s namesake label and dad David’s various brand partnerships, not to mention decades of unparalleled fashion worship between them, it’s no surprise that their children—Brooklyn, 26; Romeo, 22; Cruz, 20; and Harper, 13—have followed in the Becks legacy of getting fits off.
This week, much of the Beckham brood has been visiting Paris in anticipation of Victoria’s latest runway show. While eldest son, Brooklyn, took this Paris Fashion Week off, David, Romeo, and Cruz have stepped out in more than enough looks to compensate for his absence.
Indeed, the three Beckham men put on such a dizzyingly varied display of contemporary menswear in the past few days, they may as well have been staging a runway show of their own.
David Beckham’s Classic Style
David Beckham, long partial to (and particular about) his suits, kept to his standard fare of neat, mostly navy kits.
Suits and Separates
While heading to his hotel with daughter Harper on Friday morning, the family patriarch dressed down in a cashmere Loro Piana chore jacket with loose navy slacks, clean white slip-on sneakers, and a tan corduroy baseball cap.
But before the end of the day, he would change into not one but two suits: a blue single-button kit with a striped shirt and knit tie for the afternoon, and then a dark, double-breasted look with a white point-collared dress shirt for Victoria’s show in the evening.
From Navy to Dark Double-Breasted
The patriarch’s versatility was on full display, effortlessly transitioning from a casual morning look to a more formal evening ensemble.
The Patriarch’s Versatility
David’s ability to adapt his style to various occasions is a testament to his mastery of menswear.
Cashmere and Corduroy
In the morning, David opted for a more relaxed look, pairing a cashmere jacket with corduroy slacks, showcasing his comfort with mixing textures and fabrics.
Morning to Evening Style Evolution
As the day progressed, David seamlessly transitioned from a casual morning look to a more formal evening ensemble, demonstrating his understanding of the nuances of menswear.
Romeo’s Fashion Experimentation
Romeo, who made his own (nearly unrecognizable) Paris Fashion Week debut last fall as a model on Balenciaga’s runway, also attended his mother’s show in a sharp double-breasted suit, which he paired with a taut Prada tee and monk-strap shoes.
But his more casual looks—which he modeled in tandem, Posh-and-Becks style, with his DJ-model girlfriend, Kim Turnbull—ran the gamut.
Suiting Up for Mom’s Big Show
Romeo’s double-breasted suit was a highlight of the week, showcasing his ability to pull off a more formal look with ease.
Casual Cool with a Girlfriend’s Touch
In his more casual ensembles, Romeo’s willingness to experiment with different styles and trends was on full display, often incorporating his girlfriend’s influence into his looks.
Mixing High and Low Fashion
The Beckham family has always been known for their fashion sense, and this week was no exception. From David’s classic suits to Romeo’s eclectic outfits, the brothers mixed high and low fashion in a way that’s both impressive and confusing.
Romeo, in particular, stood out with his bold choices. He paired a sharp double-breasted suit with a taut Prada tee and monk-strap shoes, and later rocked light-wash jeans and Margiela Tabi shoes with a gray Champion crewneck and an iced-out Cartier Santos.
Cruz also got in on the action, donning a striped suit with pointy boots and a shaggy fashion mullet that added a touch of ’70s flair to his overall look.
From Light-Wash Jeans to Silky Track Pants
The Beckham brothers’ fashion choices are a perfect example of how to mix high and low fashion. From light-wash jeans to silky track pants, they’re not afraid to experiment with different styles and looks.
- David stuck to his classic suits, but Romeo and Cruz were more adventurous, mixing high-end designer pieces with casual, high-street fashion.
- Romeo’s outfits were a masterclass in mixing and matching different styles and brands, from Prada to Balenciaga to Champion.
- Cruz’s looks were a bit more retro-inspired, with nods to disco-era fashion and a penchant for bold, bright colors.
Cruz’s Retro Revival
Disco-Era Inspiration on the Runway
Cruz’s fashion choices were heavily influenced by the disco era, with striped suits and pointy boots that added a touch of retro flair to his overall look.
He also paid homage to the Austin Powers franchise in a graphic tee printed with Mike Myers as Dr. Evil, which he paired with black sweats and shaggy orange Wallabees.
Nostalgic Nods and Quirky Style
Cruz’s looks were full of nostalgic nods to the past, from his striped suit and pointy boots to his shaggy fashion mullet and Dr. Evil tee.
He also channeled Justin and Hailey Bieber’s eclectic style with his orange wool sweater, black Louis Vuitton carpenter jeans, and Celine loafers.
A Fragrance Interlude
Timeless Elegance with Chanel’s Allure Homme
When it comes to fragrances, Chanel’s Allure Homme Édition Blanche is a timeless classic that’s perfect for any occasion.
I’ve been wearing this cologne at every wedding I’ve attended (including my own) for the last two years, and it’s always received compliments.
Adventurous Scents with By Kilian’s Prelude to Love
For something a bit more adventurous, By Kilian’s Prelude to Love is a unisex scent that’s perfect for the fashion-forward.
This fragrance is a bit more expensive than some other options, but it’s worth it for the unique blend of floral and citrus notes that make it stand out.
Conclusion
In conclusion, this week, the Beckham family showcased an unparalleled mastery of menswear, with each member sporting a distinct flavor that left us in awe. From Brooklyn’s edgy streetwear to Romeo’s refined sophistication, and Cruz’s playful experimentation, the family’s sartorial diversity was a testament to the ever-evolving nature of men’s fashion. Meanwhile, David Beckham’s timeless elegance and Victoria’s androgynous chic served as a reminder that personal style is an ever-changing narrative, written and rewritten with each new outfit.
The significance of the Beckham family’s menswear extravaganza lies in its ability to inspire and influence a generation of men who are redefining traditional notions of masculinity and fashion. As we move forward, it will be exciting to see how the next wave of menswear enthusiasts will continue to push boundaries, challenge norms, and create new narratives around fashion and identity. The Beckhams’ fearless approach to style serves as a beacon, illuminating the path for others to follow and forge their own paths.
As we reflect on the Beckhams’ impressive display of menswear, one thing is clear: fashion is no longer just about clothes, but about the stories we tell, the identities we forge, and the boundaries we push. The Beckham family’s unwavering commitment to self-expression is a powerful reminder that, in the end, it is not what we wear that defines us, but how we wear it – with confidence, conviction, and a willingness to take risks.
