Celebrity Style #1 - Taylor Lautner

Taylor Lautner, werewolf extraordinaire, teen heart-throb and this year's "Zac Efron" has been getting a lot of hype lately due to the whole Twilight series shabang. While his acting might be questionable, his looks are definitely not. It takes a lot of work from any guy to get into such great shape and a lot of people have picked up on the dumbfounding effect his good looks have on everyone else. What prompted me to look more closely into Taylor Lautner and his style was GQ magazine's doubly featuring Taylor in its pages in less than a year. The editors at GQ are always in tune with what's hot and what's not and it seems like they are milking this baby right when its ripe (kudos GQ).



Even though he was not even 18 during the first GQ photoshoot, Taylor's look could easily pass as that of an aspiring YUPpie between the ages of 22 and 25. I for one love fitted shirts and the choice of model could not have been better. Taylor is a very photogenic guy and what's best is that he reminds you of a really nice guy who you could easily get along with, unlike some of the snottier looking male models out there.

Now that he is finally 18 and all of us boys and girls that are of age can now rejoice for not thinking illegal things, Lautner came in for another photoshoot with GQ, previewing some of the Fall 2010 trends this time.

The black and white photography combined with a rehashing of so many vintage elements produces a cool and refined look. 1. Coat, $3,718, and pants, $745, by Louis Vuitton. T-shirt, $25, by A|X Armani Exchange. Boots, $795, by Burberry; 2. Suit, $895, and shirt, $225, by Calvin Klein Collection. Tie, $125, by John Varvatos. Shoes, $595, by D&G. Tie bar by The Tie Bar; 3. Reversible jacket, $595, sweatshirt, $98, and pants, $295, by Polo by Ralph Lauren. Boots, $1,500, by Ralph Lauren. Socks by Wigwam; 4. Sweatpants, $275, by Simon Spurr. Sneakers, $580, by Neil Barrett; 5. Coat, $2,370, turtleneck, $640, pants, $630, and belt, $235, by Gucci.

Now that we've looked at Taylor and how good he would look in stylist picked clothes, I'd like us to take a peek at Taylor's personal style:

Taylor likes to take on the casual approach to most situations and by that I mean jeans and a t-shirt or a flannel shirt however he can definitely pull off a slim suit better than most actors in Hollywood. 
For a man, or should I say an 18 year old teen, Taylor is definitely on the rightest of tracks when it comes to fashion and if perchance he strays away, I'm sure there will be someonewho will call him out
