Our 10 favourite looks from Paul McCartney

It’s the kind of face that tells a story, and the kind of story that wrote history.

Paul McCartney may have been the bassist of The Beatles, but the English superstar is also a singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and composer. McCartney has written, or co-written, 32 songs that have reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100, and as of 2009 he has 25.5 million RIAA-certified units in the United States.  He has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame not just once, but twice

The Beatles’ influence on fashion can still be seen today. We can thank Paul, John, George, and Ringo for helping bring styles like the slim suit or Chelsea boot to the masses, and making them mainstream.

Paul himself his still rocking a distinguished, grandad panache. His ageless fashion sense and commitment to his old rocker roots is what make him one of the most stylish over sixties around. He opts for shirt over t-shirts, refuses to put away his slim cut jeans and has taken the best looks from each passing decade.
