Title: Fashion Icons: Mick or Keith?
Post by SoulPlunderer on Apr 21^st, 2010 at 4:19pm

Who do you think is the more fashionable of the Glimmers???
Mick or Keith?
I think Keith tbh but only cause Mick has had more faux pas so to speak, especially in the 80's.
I don't like it when they try and dress too young for themselves if u know what I mean. I love keiths elegantly wasted, cool gypsie kinda thing as well as his late 70's rocker look. Anita seems to get alot of credit for his fashion and before he was going out with her, he dressed like a bloody teddy boy!!!
So who is the more fashionable, Mick or Keith?

Keith, not so much today, but back in the late 60's & through the 70's, the scarfs, & just the wasted junkie look, he was the coolest, Mick is a great dresser too, but if I had to pick one of the two, it would be keith.

How about those dorky-looking pullover sweaters Mick wears from time to time? :blankfriggingstare1

Keith has been consistent, so I have to vote for Keith overall....
Jagger looked sharp in the 70s with Bianca when he wore those 30s, 40s-style tailored suits and white buck and saddle shoes ...very cool, chic, yet funky and timeless and meshed perfectly with Keith's boho style......That was the Glimmer Twins: true twins, but totally unique in their own way.
But he slipped up in the 80s and that Rock Star look he had personified in the late 60s and especially 70s was lost somewhere along with his sense of style.
Those skinny jeans have got to go....personally, I prefered the 70s Jagger look, but Keith never changes with the times, because it's just him, and not a style.

The real trick is to merge both as your own: the black jeans, with a scarf and maybe some funky saddle shoes and a Cuban hat......that's the perfect look.

The odd thing is that their clothes would look totally ridiculous on other people, yet they're able to pull it off flawlessly. Ever seen an average Joe in a Zebra shirt? It looks so lame!

It was Charlie Watts who once said of Keith-"He's the only guy I know that can go to a black tie affair in a bathrobe and make it look fasionable."

Mick's quite the clothes horse himself.

Charlie is the most dapper rock and roller in history with his English country gentleman look.

Ronnie has a banana.

Some of us have tried to move beyond the political thread, but just for you........

Kiss my ass cocksucker! How's that for a fashion statement?!

I'm sure that your idea of a fashionable shirt probably includes Che'? LOL! What a clueless drone you are!

The Stones have always had a fair amount of
fashion sense.

My vote goes to Keith, largely because Mick often tries way
too hard - like the skirt he wore in '94 when Ed Bradley was
interviewing them for 60 Minutes, or those stupid fringed
blazers he wore for a lot of B2B shows. At the same time
Keith was rocking the leopard skin pimp coat - Keith wins,
hands down.

haha really!!! I'm kinda Keith leaning at the mo but I don't really have a favourite member. Today it's Keith but tomorrow it could be Mick, Charlie, who knows. If I'm listening to them and I hear a particular part of a song I like, the person who played/sang it becomes my stone of the day kinda!!!

The correct answer is MICK!!!!!!!!

As well as clothes, I love Keith's 70's hair. Gonna cut mine's like that when it grows out. Right now my hair looks like his does in '66. ;D

Oh Yeah! That is some badass sexy hair right there! :P

Mick is a snappy dresser most of the time, but he loses in my book for those black multi-colored tights from the 80's and that suit from the vid to Ain't Too Proud To Beg. C'mon man...those were bad!

Keith - that man looks good in just about anything.

OK MICK wore those football tights because the tour was in a football stadium and he was wearing that style pants and jerseys during that stadium tour. I guess it was the first time doing the stadiums. Gazza is this correct?

That pic is from '78.

Mick wore the football pants, kneepads and Iggles jersey in '81.

Title: Re: Fashion Icons: Mick or Keith?
Post by Bitch on Apr 27^th, 2010 at 8:46pm

Well that is a similar style of these football pants from 81.

Title: Re: Fashion Icons: Mick or Keith?
Post by left shoe shuffle on Apr 27^th, 2010 at 9:18pm

True, they are both pants... ;)

Title: Re: Fashion Icons: Mick or Keith?
Post by Boomy on Apr 27^th, 2010 at 9:24pm

I voted for Keith.

These days Mick wears those black athletic shoes that have been customized to make him a little taller. The fact that he wears them with some nice blazers and pants really makes him look kind of geeky, to be honest.

Title: Re: Fashion Icons: Mick or Keith?
Post by RS_Chick92 on Apr 28^th, 2010 at 5:15am

Well...I did trim up the hair and put in those spiky layers but...for some reason I seem to look more like Ronnie than Keith. It could be the face or something. God knows where I'm going wrong. :( I need to add more Jack Daniels and Malboros to my diet. I'll eventually get there. (And cut out cheese.)

Yeah, the 81 tour was the beginning of the downfall of Stones stage style: Jagger's lemon-yellow football pants and keith with the headband.....
I hated that look.

Those aren't what I meant. They are on pg 50 of Superblow. The football pants weren't nearly as bad.

Yeah, I can never get over Mick's 80's football gear. I loved those sparkly jumpsuits he wore in the 70's that Bitch posted a pic of, they were great looking. I doubt we'll ever see him in those again. :(

I'm don't really mind Keith's hair and the headband or not, I'm just glad he's stopped dying it now. I'm a sucker for men with silver/grey/white hair. I love Charlie's white locks too. ::)

Post by texile on Apr 28^th, 2010 at 7:49pm

Speaking of....
I think Mick would look fantastic with a full head of gray.
The bastard is so vain and delusional when it comes to his age, but the natural gray would, I think, add an air of distinguished elegance.
Picture Mick ala Ian McKellen, etc....
I mean, if he wants to be a sir, then be a sir....

Title: Re: Fashion Icons: Mick or Keith?
Post by texile on Apr 28^th, 2010 at 7:51pm

Finishing my thought,
I also think if Jagger went gray, it would kind of put a gulf between the Mick of yore, and the Mick of now. He is no longer a young, stud Rock Star, so the pretension that he is..... is silly.
It would finalize his transition to Mick Jagger, the adult.

Hmm, for some reason I can't picture it. Because he's been with that brown hair too long! For god sake Mick drop the dye box already, same with Ronnie! I think that haircut of Ronnie's, with grey hair would look cool as fuck. :smilemick

Title: Re: Fashion Icons: Mick or Keith?
Post by Bitch on Apr 28^th, 2010 at 8:00pm

MICK's hair is a carefully guarded secret! My guess is he has has hairplugs, a weave or a combination both. Hair dye is necessary for MICK's vanity, yeah, but his hair looks great so I would not be happy to see him with gray/white hair or balding. No way!
