David Niven
Just check out that mustache. David Niven once reigned supreme as Hollywood&#39;s suavest English sophisticate, and there was something about that impeccably groomed swath of facial hair that encapsulated his charms: equal parts worldly adventurer (Around the World in Eighty Days) and magnetic mischief-maker (The Pink Panther). Not to mention his conversational prowess, a skill that&#39;s been favorably compared to his acting (which is saying something when you&#39;ve got an Academy Award at home). Niven&#39;s most memorable Oscar moment came not in 1959&#8212;when his name was actually pulled from the envelope&#8212;but as a host in 1974. Looking sharp as ever in a shawl-collar tudo, he was interrupted by an exhibitionist streaking across the stage. The 65-year-old Niven responded by calling the man&#39;s &quot;shortcomings&quot; into question&#8212;and proved that he still had the power to win over a room with the slightest flicker of a smile.&#8212;RAFI KOHAN

Invest in a good pair of grooming scissors or clippers. A mustache&#8212;and especially one as thin as Niven&#39;s&#8212;is a bold style statement. Keep yours reined in.
