Justin Time


Today is Justin Timberlake's 29th birthday. I mention that here because, not only is J.T. an incredibly talented musician-record producer-dancer-actor, he also has a fabulous sense of style.

In fact, he topped GQ's list of the "10 Most Stylish Men In America" last year. The mag called him "The man who helped bring fedoras −and sweater vests, and beards, and three-piece suits, and skinny ties− back."

I couldn't agree more. J.T.'s also on my short list of celebrities with credible clothing lines.

To check out the latest offerings from William Rast, which he launched in 2005 with his childhood friend Trace Ayala (below), click here.


Ayala once described the pair's inspiration, fellow Memphis native Elvis Presley, thusly:"Elvis is the perfect mixture of Justin and I. You can go back and see pictures of him in cowboy boots and a cowboy hat and a nice button-down shirt, but then again you can see him in a tux and a collared shirt with rhinestones on it and slacks. We like to think 'If he was alive today, what would he be wearing?'"

And now...the multi-hyphenate on stage:

And on the golf course:

What do you think? Does Justin live up to the hype?
