Style Watch: Jenson Button

If you're a follower of the Formula 1 you will know that there is one man whose stylish sense and fashion forward thinking is an icon for you to be watching. 2009 World Champion Jenson Button is a fave not only with the ladies, but the gents that are desperate to achieve that perfectly polished look but keeping it chic at the same time.

If you're wanting to pull off the Jenson look then simple is better and less is most definitely more. The trick is with this style is to have the confidence that sets you apart from others.

This TopMan suit is not only very stylish but pushes all the buttons in watching our stylish icon. We often see Jenson in grey - it's a flattering colour, perhaps a little cooler than black and can be adapted to look as casual or formal as you like. Remove the tie and go open collar if you're following the F1 star or throw on a waistcoat and go all out formal. One thing is for sure, pick up a grey suit this season and you'll feel like a champion. £125 for jacket and trousers.

It's not just women that suffer with self esteem issues - so if you're a fashion conscious but still want to hide a little tummy weight then go for this charcoal coloured fitted suit. The shape is not as skinny as the one above and the colour is darker and therefore a little more slimming. A great way to look good but in an understated way. Available from River Island for £95.

**Little hint - keep a bit of a stubble, not santa clause long, but enough to look trendy and rugged. Done well you'll be the envy of guys in the office and have the ladies flocking towards you just like Jenson. Wrong and you'll look like you've just lost your razor.

**If you're bored of the white shirt like Jenson is wearing here, why not try a pale blue one. It's the perfect replacement and adds a little colour and tone to complexion. Also works great with a little stubble.

If you like the dark jeans and white polo neck t-shirt as a combo then why not add the blazer (above) to not only finish off the look but add a little formality to it making it suitable for evening wear. Available from TopMan £20.

It is essential to have a smart pair of shoes, preferably pointed to finish off this look. Here we have a Kurt Geiger lace up for only £72. Who said Asos was just for the ladies?

Accessories are not just for the girls either, as finishing off an outfit is just as important to guys too. A formal look is never complete without a good watch. If you're spending highstreet on the tailoring, try and go for a little bling on the watch. It's something that everyone will notice, from colleagues, family members and that girl you're trying to impress.

Keep your look fresh and cool for the summer months with a pair of trendy sun glasses. Make sure to get the wearing to not-wearing ratio right, otherwise you may be known as the idiot always in the shades!
