Man accessories

I need an accessory wardrobe of men to go with my outfits

Daniel Craig is an all arounder...good dressed up when the occasion calls for gowns and sparkle (bond) and down jeans, moto jacket and brunch (any movie where he plays a piker)

Jean Reno now for mariniere sweaters, pedal pushers, woven baskets embroidered with straw flowers and casual Saturday farmers market but only if we home and actually cook

Jean Reno 20 years ago for anything 80s or punk tinged (authentic punk needs iggy then or now) (funny aside--iggy autocorrects first to high then to iffy--both accurate)

Casey affleck for leather jackets and gritty downtown concerts held in dive bars damp with the smell of pbr

Taye diggs for peignoir sets and Barry white

You?

Bowie. Got it all covered.

@Cerinda--of course he would actually have to be around! Just because it's hypothetical doesn't mean it has to be supernatural.

James Purefoy or Max Riemelt for casual with a dark edge looks. Idris Elba for gala/formal looks. Justin Trudeau for elegant daytime looks. Giancarlo Esposito to listen to Nina Simone or live jazz music with. Fabio Costa (Project Runway) for androgynous looks. Brad Pitt as Tyler Durden for wearing something like Agatha Ruiz de la Prada. Johnny Depp or Odell Beckham Jr (thise tattoos ) for post apocalyptic dystopian looks. And if I'm dressed like I'm inside the Matrix (think Trinity) then it has to be Marilyn Manson.

@cynthiawalkersmith, how could I forget about idris--I watch Luther only for him. Good accessory for dark days, darker nights. And the old dinner dance.

HIlarious. I thought this was going to be about man-bags and such, so I could brag about the work bag I got for Mr Maximal. Alas.

Let me think on this. In the meantime, I'm going to cross-stitch this bit of wisdom to go above my closet for outfit inspiration:

Sean Bean for weekend casual - household chores, gardening - jeans and t. Throw on a leather jacket and nip 'round to (gastro) pub for dinner and a pint.

Colin Firth for stylish work outfit - rendez-vous at the resto in the Hilton (behind my office building) for lunch.

Alan Rickman for dinner and theatre - classic black, velvet, maybe some sparkle - black tie.

Angie--good choice...though he is not hypothetical and hopefully not supernatural!

Anna--I sense a business opp. I'm in. Silent partner/talent auditioner...must guarantee quality.

Runcarla--of course, Alan Rickman for conversation

Not hypothetical, but my super hero.

Ruth, I'll go with who I'd like to meet in person though, and have a good yak with over a cuppa tea with some cake:

Simon le Bon
Jamie Oliver
Christian Bale

All Brits - so they will do tea and cake with me.

Oh, Angie, Simon le Bon

runcarla how could I forget Alan Rickman? He and Gary Oldman are so underappreciated IMO

Cerinda, Bowie is definitely appropriate for pretty much any occasion. He was amazing, always.

Great choices, bj!

I think George Clooney would look great with all my ensembles. (I have Mr. Xtabay's okay on this.) If George isn't available, I could cheerfully substitute Ryan Gosling.
