Outfit of the day #579

Becks was at the US Open men's tennis final in the Big Apple on Sunday and found himself seated next to US Vogue editor – and all round fearsome fashion matriarch – Anna Wintour. Unfazed, he styled it out in his controversial tan two-piece, in the way only a man who looks really good in a suit (and who happens to be wearing a really good suit) can.

A well-cut, slim-fit whistle in a soft, autumnal palette like Beckham's can be dressed up or down as the occasion demands and he's pitched things right down the middle here, with a crisp white shirt worn tie-less – a button undone for a relaxed air – and a shiny pair of patent black dress shoes to keep things anchored in smart territory. Advantage Becks.
