Fashion Icons: Mick or Keith?
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?

Reply #1 - Apr 21^st, 2010 at 5:12pm 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.

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.

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.

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!!!

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?

Boomy Rocks Off Regular Offline Posts: 375 Indiana Gender:	Re: Fashion Icons: Mick or Keith? Reply #22 - 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.

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.)
