"  Whether you love or loathe his aesthetic, it&amp;#039;s impossible to deny Wes Anderson&amp;#039;s influence on modern filmmaking. Each one of his seven (soon to be eight) movies is a dense concoction of divergent ingredients, with influences ranging from the French Nouvelle Vague and Goyard luggage to motor sports, prep school blazers, and an Indian marketplace. And while Anderson&amp;#039;s films could be described as a series of unexpected juxtapositions, they also make perfect sense in that specifically Andersonian manner. It&amp;#039;s a filmmaking style that&amp;#039;s instantly recognizable, and deeply personal. And in real life, the look bleeds over into his own style. To say Wes Anderson dresses like a Wes Anderson movie is a bizarrely self-referential phrase, but also an accurate one. His style is built upon cramming all of his seemingly conflicting influences into one cohesive look. Which brings us to the above photo, in which Anderson is demonstrating a great way to dress down a suit. A lot has been written about &amp;quot;casual tailoring&amp;quot; lately, as menswear moves in both those directions at once. But the truth is, the only way to do it right is on your own terms. And on Anderson&amp;#039;s terms, the look starts with a corduroy suit \u2014 call it a human version of the Fantastic Mr. Fox&amp;#039;s wardrobe \u2014 with a very thin wale. It&amp;#039;s got a touch of ruggedness, but the fineness of the cords ultimately lands it on the (slightly) dressier side. From there Anderson dresses things down with a knit tie so relaxed and textured, it&amp;#039;s clear he&amp;#039;s wearing it because he wants to, not because he has to. And finally, there are the chunky Clark&amp;#039;s Wallabees, which work especially well here \u2014 they round out the idea of an elective tailored outfit, and they play well with the color of Anderson&amp;#039;s suit. Overall, it&amp;#039;s a look that&amp;#039;s not only casual, but very much his own. And it&amp;#039;s that kind of deeply personal style that makes Anderson a modern icon \u2014 both on the screen and off.
