“Tom Selleck’s Most Memorable Fashion Moments”

In 1995, Esquire recognized Tom Selleck as one of Hollywood’s Best Dressed Men, alongside figures like Jack Nicholson and Robert Downey Jr. Despite being in a transitional phase in his career, between his roles in Magnum P.I. and Three Men and a Baby and his future appearances in Friends and Blue Bloods, Selleck’s style caught our attention. We praised his effortless elegance, from custom Ralph Lauren suits in the city to rugged western wear on his ranch. We also noted his occasional flair for Hawaiian-print shirts. Nearly 30 years later, his style continues to captivate a new generation, especially on Instagram, where accounts like Magnum P.I. Look Book highlight his fashion moments. Interestingly, Selleck worked at menswear shops in Southern California before launching his acting career, as revealed in his memoir You Never Know. His classic masculinity is evident in various looks, such as a chalk-stripe suit and polka dot tie at the 1983 premiere of High Road to China. His most iconic look, however, remains his portrayal of Magnum in 1985, characterized by his signature Hawaiian shirt while driving a Ferrari 308. Selleck’s unique preference for custom Hawaiian shirts, made by Manhattan Beach’s Squeak, is a testament to his personal style. Other notable moments include a white workwear-inspired jacket from 1987 with metal clasps and a 1990 double denim outfit with a sweater tied around his neck—styles that still resonate today. His rugby shirt ensemble with a dog in a 1983 Magnum P.I. scene further underscores his timeless fashion sense.
