As a sportsman and a celebrity, David Beckham naturally attends many high-profile events throughout the year. It stands to reason that a lot of the time he is dressed in dapper formal wear. In these occasions, Beckham most of the time goes for separates, mixing and matching blazers and trousers.
In formal wear, David Beckham is inclined towards darker trousers, so navy chinos are the perfect shade.These slim fit navy chinos will add a touch of urban class to your formal outfit.
Easily paired with a breton striped tee, or if you’re dressing formally, pretty much any blazer should match with them perfectly. A navy or dark blue shade blazer will suit any pair of dark trousers and provide a hint of casual flair whilst remaining suitable for any formal occasion.

David Beckham Suit

David Beckham tends to favour classic suit colours and cuts, seeming particularly fond of black. This shade offers a slick look without any hassle. David Beckham grey suit is another go-to stylish shade, which everyone can incorporate into their wardrobe, similarly to black.

When suiting up, David Beckham is disposed towards crisp white shirts. Oxford shirts are essential for the wardrobe of anyone who aspires to be as stylish as Beckham. He tends to wear white shirts under suits, but they can be worn under anything to add a classy, formal layer to your look. Alternatively, a t-shirt can be just as easily worn unbuttoned over a vest or t-shirt for a swish vintage look.

Though Beckham often wears ties with a bold print, he just as often assumes a classic finishing touch, such as a black tie, vital for completing a formal outfit. This combination of suit, trousers and tie will guarantee you’ll turn heads at any formal event, though of course such an outfit would also be suitable stylish attire for work as well.

David Beckham Shoes

No suit is complete without a pair of formal shoes. Dr Martens are perfect for formal attire and a bold statement in casual attire. Stick to dark shades, such as burgundy and black in order to keep your look formal, and make it easier to be incorporated into any outfit.
Alternatively you can opt for more casual shoes. Beckham has also been known to adopt white trainers with fancy suits, stylishly mixing the formal and casual. The block white keeps the look slick but adds some urban street style to the mix. Unsurprisingly, Beckham can pull this off.

David Beckham Casual Style

Though of course David Beckham looks dapper in a suit, it’s his casual attire that garners him the most attention. Check out some tips below on how you can replicate Beckham’s casual style.

David Beckham Jacket

In his everyday dress, it’s clear that he favors one color over all others: black. His penchant for subdued colours gives his look an effortless masculinity. While it’s a simple color, it’s also incredibly versatile while having the benefit of being really slimming. It’s likely you’ll probably already own a lot of black clothing, so this one shouldn’t need too much attention.

David Beckham Leather Jacket
David Beckham is often garbed in a leather jacket, a type of clothing that is synonymous with coolness. It has associations with male style icons such as James Dean and Marlon Brando, but when Beckham wears a leather jacket, he makes it his own. Leather jackets can be a real investment, but one that will last a lifetime, and will only improve the more it’s used.
They also match with almost anything, but put on a simple black t-shirt and some dark, slim fit jeans for a classic Beckham look.
For a denim alternative, a denim jacket is a great choice. It’s easy to match this jacket with anything, so for the Beckham look, you can also wear these with some dark slim-fit jeans, and maybe a plain white t-shirt.

David Beckham T-shirts

To nail the David Beckham look, you need to stick to simple, muted colors such as black, Beckham’s shade of choice. This simple black t-shirt will go perfectly with a leather jacket and dark jeans. Jackets are better suited to a David Beckham white t-shirt number.  Or you could just wear it on its own with a pair of jeans, and still look stylish.

David Beckham Shirts

If you’re not wearing a jacket over your shirt, you could reproduce the style with a quality David Beckham denim shirt. Denim shirts are a fashion staple, and are easy to both dress up and dress down.
If denim shirts aren’t your thing, David Beckham also frequently dons chequered shirts for that rough around the edges lumberjack appearance. This shirt is a classic deign that is great to wear all year round. For a Beckham bad-boy look, pair it with some dark jeans and brown desert boots.

David Beckham Denim

Denim is indispensable if you want to dress like David Beckham. His casual look is incomplete with a quality pair of jeans. Jeans should never be too baggy, but if you need some room, go one size up, instead of three. You can pair the jeans with a tee (always get basic colors, like white and black) or you can pair it with a sweatshirt (again, stick to basics).
For those of us who want to dress like Beckham, you should remember one important thing – make sure whatever you wear fits you properly.

Dark jeans are his forte, particularly David Beckham black jeans, which provide a muted, casual look that can go with virtually any shirt and outfit. They’re not suited to any formality, event or season, as they’re adaptable to them all. Black or dark jeans are a staple in any man’s wardrobe.
If jeans are a little too obvious for you, then you can still certainly look as cool as Beckham in brown chinos. Chinos are a fashion staple for any man. Beckham usually contrasts brown or tan chinos nicely with a black shirt or jacket.

Jumpers

David Beckham is a fan of cable knit jumpers, so to look as stylish as him during the winter months, you can rock a cream-coloured jumper. For something more lightweight and subtle, opt for a fine-knit jumper. The muted tone is easy to pair up with whatever else you want to wear, though this probably looks best with a plain white shirt and dark jeans for that classic Beckham style.

Coats

When the weather outside is frightful, as it so often is in the United Kingdom, your options are somewhat limited in dressing in vogue whilst not freezing off your back shelf. In times like this, you are pretty much relying on a cool-looking coat to carry off your look.
In adverse conditions, David Beckham sports a smart parka. A well-designed parka is another essential for the wardrobe of any man who is prepared for anything, and this classic urban design will have you covered, and keep you covered, whatever the weather.
As a lighter alternative to the bulkiness of a parka, you can retain the Beckham look with this black trench coat. A contemporary trench coat is formal enough to be worn at any event, but stylish enough to work even on a date or night out. This is for people who want a little bit of edge to their outerwear look.

David Beckham Shoes

David Beckham has a penchant for incorporating a wide variety of style shoes in his outfits. From trainers to boots, to formal wear, he’s mastered it all with ease. As well as incorporating trainers into his suit looks, he can pull them off better with his casual attire. Teamed with joggers, dark jean or chinos, there are no limits.
David Beckham Boots
Though perhaps he is most famously associated with trainers, David Beckham can frequently be found pulling off the bolder option of leather boots. Leather boots can go with any pair of jeans and chinos for a more smart-casual appearance.
David Beckham is a master of smart-casual, frequently seen in outfits that you could rock up to an event, party or just the pub in. His boots looks mostly consist of a cool, contemporary shirt, dark jeans and desert boots.

David Beckham Hats

David Beckham is perhaps the most famous beanie-wearer, so a guide to Beckham’s style wouldn’t be complete without mentioning this particular type of headwear. Beanies are essential for those winter months, but are also ideal as a finishing touch on a casual outfit.

David Beckham Hair

Like many great style icons, David Beckham has never been afraid to change things up in the hair department. Some of his hairstyles have been more, um, indefensible than others, but Beckham has frequently experimented to great success, from buzzcuts to mohawks. In recent years, David Beckham has gone for slightly more understated hairstyles, currently opting for a slicked back look.

Instead of undercut sides, his hair is cut long and styled flat against the head. Instead of being combed back, the hair is combed straight down. This is a great looking classic hairstyle with a modern twist, and is easy to do well, as a little messiness can look good. Beckham also favours a full but short beard to finish off this look.
