The 41-year-old former England football captain has admitted he is a "very casual dresser" and would rather wear his everyday attire, which consists of a pair of jeans, a basic top and a pair of "vintage boots", although he does "love" to wear a "smart suit" for an evening out with his wife Victoria.

Speaking to PEOPLE about his style preferences, the British hunk said: "[I am a] very casual" dresser.

"I love to wear smart suits, and I like to feel smart when I go out for dinner but I also much prefer to wear jeans, T-shirts, trainers, boots, vintage boots and that's kind of how I dress every single day."

And David has revealed his fashion muse is the late 'The Great Escape' actor Steve McQueen because of his "effortless" style.

He explained: "I've always been a huge fan of Steve McQueen, and people like that, and James Dean. People like that I always look at their style and it's just effortless. Most of the time it's just a plain white T-shirt and a pair of jeans, but they make it look good."

Meanwhile, the sportsman - who stars in the high street store H&M's latest Modern Essentials collection campaign alongside actor Kevin Hart - has revealed he wants people to realise he "actually wears" the clothes he models.

He said: "I don't want to just be in the campaign and people think 'I'm wearing the same jumper as him, but I don't see him in it.' I actually wear the clothes, and this is me every single day -- jeans and a t-shirt or a shirt. I think that's what people kind of respect and appreciate the fact that they are getting a piece of my style, and they like it apparently."
