Last week the groundbreaking film Lilies of the Field was on Turner Classic Movies and I got to thinking how Sidney Poitier, while one of the greatest actors of our time, is often overlooked for his impeccable style. Whenever you read about best dressed screen icons…its always the same list: Cary Grant, Fred Astaire, Steve McQueen, only rarely is Mr. Poitier included. I did a little digging around and came up with photo after elegant photo. As you can see here, his understated classic style remains completely consistent throughout his entire sixty year career.

Has there ever been a classier gentleman?
