Douglas Fairbanks Jr.
A transitional figure from the silent screen to the talkies, Douglas Fairbanks Jr. was a torchbearer for a new breed of romanticism. He was flamboyant but constrained, powerful and pomaded. And though he&amp;#39;d eventually become a decorated navy man, Fairbanks hardly ever dressed like one. His wide lapels, thick ties, and pinstripes are hallmarks of modern designers like Paul Smith; and wouldn&amp;#39;t you know it, Fairbanks spent most of his postwar years as an Anglophile living in Britain; the Colonies, with their blue-collar underpinnings, weren&amp;#39;t flamboyant enough to hold his pocket squares.&amp;#8212;DENNIS TANG

If you&amp;#39;re feeling dandyish, try a a more assertive pocket square or a lapel accessory&amp;#8212;or both, as Mr. Fairbanks often did. The more the bolder.
