ICON: Thomas Crown
Mr. Thomas Crown on a date.
Ah, to be insanely rich and bored.
So bored, in fact, that the only way to keep your mind busy is by jumping from one adrenaline rush to another. The biggest adrenaline rush? A plan to steal one of the world’s most expensive paintings from one of the most heavily guarded museums in New York.
But before the big heist, you have to practice racing a multi-million dollar sail boat and capsize it - on purpose.
That’s the life of Thomas Crown, the main character from the movie The Thomas Crowne Affair. First released in 1968 with Steve McQueen and the second released in 1999 starring Pierce Brosnan, the movie portrayed a main character with great taste and a fantastic sense of style – even when he was wearing a bowling hat.

Planning his next heist
To create Essential Style for Men, mix 2 parts petrol, 1 part secret agent, 1 part rock and roll, 1 part hip-hop and a shot of tequila in a shaker with ice and vigorously shake for 20 seconds. Pour into a martini glass rimmed with explosives and have a supermodel serve for all your friends to enjoy.
