Brad Pitt: Fashion Style Does not Fade Over The Years
Whether you like his movies, his hair, his cool-dude demeanor, or just about everything about him, there’s no denying Brad Pitt is an extremely attractive man. We’ve seen the famous star rock just about anything – long hair, short hair, a buzz cut, frosted tips – you name it. And, like our emotions, his style has been on a rollercoaster. However, deep down, the Academy Award-winning actor-producer remains the same laid-back, down-to-earth person we’ve all grown to adore.
The 56-year-old actor has won the hearts of thousands of fans over the years thanks to his diverse roles, and he’s done it in fashion. As someone who has access to nearly every brand and high-end label available, the Hollywood star has had plenty of opportunities to experiment and keep his style appearing current.
And, whether it’s for a part or simply to modify his attitude to fashion, the father-of-six is the quintessential cool dad, who continues to experiment with his style and attire in ways that only he can.
Continue reading to witness Brad Pitt’s style growth over the course of his 30-year reign over Hollywood with Teeanime.
1988
Brad Pitt wore flamboyant muscle tanks, light wash trousers, and high-top Adidas sneakers in the late 1980s. Aside from being genetically blessed with superb features, his cool-dude demeanor couldn’t have been more believable at the time – especially when wearing dark shades and a pale pink bandana.
At 24
That same year, the young actor demonstrated a preference for black and white, which he has maintained throughout his artistic growth. He’s dressed down in a classic leather bomber jacket, baggy trousers, and a simple white T-shirt.
1989
This ensemble couldn’t be more ’80s with the buttoned vest, fashionable Fedora hat, cross-shaped necklaces, and steel-toe boots, don’t you think?
1991
Brad wore jeans atop denim, topped with an enormous sports coat, to a red carpet event in 1991. The Babel actor donned this relaxed-yet-elegant ensemble at the Thelma & Louise film premiere in Los Angeles. Brad accessorized with a pair of round tinted eyeglasses and suede boots, both of which are wardrobe staples for him.
1992
The Troy actor is wearing a bandana once more. He paired it with light blue pants and a loose button-up shirt with an exaggerated V-neck and rolled up sleeves this time. Because of the denim and bandana detail, this ensemble epitomizes traditional American laid-back style of the early 1990s.
1993
The Hollywood celebrity continued to experiment with his appearance. Brad continued to favor button-up shirts, rolled sleeves, and V-necklines during the True Romance era. He also embraced lengthy fairytale prince-like hair, which complemented his gorgeous features.
Long hair, don’t care
That same year, the Fight Club star maintained his grungy look, which was popular in the 1990s. This is the longest we’ve ever seen his hair, but he pulls it off because, well, he’s Brad Pitt. For this red carpet event, the actor dressed down his trousers and suede boots with a baggy grey sweater.
1994
That is not Kurt Cobain! Brad, with his bleach blonde shoulder-length hair, could have easily passed for Nirvana’s leader. Despite his drastic hairdo change, the actor wore several of his wardrobe mainstays to the VH1 Honors, including blue jeans and his trusty pair of suede boots. He wore them with a striped vest and a simple long sleeve shirt.
1995
Brad maintained his romance with light blue jeans while promoting his film Legends of the Fall, but this time he paired them with lace-up boots. This layered look is still on the laid-back side of style, but he added an edgy edge with a pair of black sunglasses.
1996
The producer attended the Pallbearer premiere with his girlfriend at the time, fellow actress Gwyneth Paltrow. Brad’s sweater vest was the star of the show, and the duo complemented with slender rounded sunglasses and light-colored apparel.
1997
But when they twinned with the same hairdo and went to The Devil’s Own premiere wearing head-to-toe black – sans Gywneth’s printed red top showing from under – their level of matching reached an all-time high.
1998
What could be cooler than spiked hair and red-rimmed sunglasses? They look great with a nice suit. That’s exactly what Brad did when he attended the John Huston Awards in honor of Tom Cruise.
1999
The Fight Club actor wore a three-piece navy suit and a pale pink shirt to the film’s premiere. He was accompanied by Jennifer Aniston, his girlfriend at the time.
So ‘90s
Nothing says ’90s like this photo of Brad and Jen, complete with baggy jeans, casual tops, flip flops, and little, wasp-like sunglasses.
2000
It’s the year 2000, and the couple is dressed to the nines in head-to-toe black for the American Film Institute’s tribute to Harrison Ford. Unlike today’s preference for fitted and slim-fit trousers, Brad’s early 2000s suit included baggy pants.
2003
You may recall that males at the club began wearing like this around 2003. Brad’s jeans began to become less baggy, while button-up, collared shirts with geometric patterns were regarded fashionable.
2006
Brad in a fitted suit is one of our fave looks on the Meet Joe Black star.
2008
Brad attended the 2008 Independent Spirit Awards with Angelina Jolie, his girlfriend at the moment. The Inglourious Basterds actor looked great in a pair of plaid grey slacks, a fresh white shirt, and a nice suede jacket with tan-colored boots. The style is a wonderful blend of sleek and sophisticated.
2009
When you add a scarf, aviator sunglasses, and two-toned shoes like Brad Pitt, a smart cream-colored suit is transformed.
2010
Brad showed off his hipster-ish, off-duty side while at a football game with his oldest son, Maddox, wearing a loose beanie, a sweatshirt, and a zip-up leather jacket. His shaggy beard adds to his laid-back demeanor.
2012
Despite his ability to pull off anything, the businessman isn’t afraid to wear a basic black suit and white shirt.
2014
During his Fury era, the Hollywood star was obsessed with plaid, sporting a checkered shirt and blazer. Brad’s stylish look remains casual yet refined with the combination of trousers and a tie.
2016
His suede boots have returned, but this time they’re coupled with dark, tapered jeans and a fitted button-up shirt, rather than the loose-fitting attire of 1999. With a leather purse, faintly tinted sunglasses, and a fedora hat, the Seven actor showed off his great fashion sense even more.
2019 style
A happy face Brad looking dapper in a dark pea coat and a newspaper boy hat is a combination we adore!
