How To Be A Sex Icon
Sex icons have been an integral part of Hollywood for decades. They grace the covers of high-profile magazines, and they possess charismatic auras that seduce and entice the carnal senses of their adoring fans. We’ve gathered a few of Hollywood’s most unforgettable icons, and highlighted key style tips to help you step up your “sex icon” mojo.
Steve McQueen
“Lighthearted attitude and style”
We’ve talked about the nonchalant attitude and style before. You aren’t given the nickname “King of Cool” by just being average. The man starred in The Great Escape, had an affinity for racing motorbikes, married Ms. Ali MacGraw, and dressed like a boss. Steve mcQueen is the embodiment of the devil-may-care, sex-icon archetype. Take note and live a little.

Brad Pitt
“Get in shape”
Ask any guy what he thinks is the ideal physique, and more likely than not, they’re thinking somewhere along the lines of Brad Pitt in Fight Club. Toned and muscular, without looking like an Incredible Hulk cartoon, yet lean enough to still look great in clothes; it’s the perfect combination. The key takeaway here is that being in shape can go a long way. It allows you to look great in nothing but slim chinos, t-shirts, and minimal accessories.

George Clooney
“Go gray gracefully”
George Clooney represents every guy’s dream of aging — he’s only gotten better with time. Those silver streaks, wrinkles, and crinkles in his eye have only enhanced his sex appeal. We say that to say this, there’s nothing wrong with a little bit of self-care. Moisturize your skin, clip your nails, and visit the dentist every once in awhile. It’ll pay off in the long run.
Sidney Poitier
“Dress for every occasion”
Mr. Poitier became the first black man to win an Oscar for Best Actor. He won at a time when he was incredibly politically active, and his uniform consisted of an impeccably tailored slim black suit and tie. On casual days, he was no less elegant, paying attention to detail every single time.
