About this deal

Elton John, wearing a vest top and satin shorts, at home in Beverly Hills, 1975, with part of his wardrobe, notably a large collection of platform shoes. Perched on his shoulder is a soft toy in his own likeness.

The kaleidoscope is shaken, the results scrutinised and fashion’s votaries decree that this summer men will be wearing… girly stuff, basically. Hot colours, bold patterns, skirts, sequins. Sir Elton has released a hit single in every decade since the 1970s and has cemented his status as a bona fide style icon along the way. Elton John pictured wearing a typically flamboyant costume on Dec. 3, 1984. The previous August, “Sad Songs (Say So Much)” became his 14th top five hit on the Hot 100. Elton John performs at the Midsummer Music one-day festival at Wembley Stadium in London on June 21, 1975. John performed the whole of his album ‘Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy’ during his set. Two weeks previously, that album had become the first album in history to enter the Billboard 200 at No. 1. Elton John, sporting one of his more unusual hairdos, performing at the Universal Amphitheatre on Oct. 7, 1986.The star was rarely seen without a pair of supersized statement glasses, often coloured and sequinned. Elton John’s bold fashion choices have always been as memorable as his remarkable career trajectory.

Another strong outfit in 1974, Elton gave his own take on cowboy chic with some dungarees and a mink fur coat - as you do. The novelty glasses came with miniature awnings over each lens and in hindsight, a surprisingly practical way to keep out sunlight - we wonder why this didn't catch on?Elton John performs at an open-air concert in May 1974 in Watford, England. The previous month, “Bennie and the Jets” became John’s second No. 1 hit on the Hot 100. Elton finished off his outfit for the 1989 Victoires de la Musique event in France with a zebra-printed fez and some neon pink cats eye sunglasses. Elton John performs at the Lands End Stage during day 3 of the 2015 Outside Lands Music And Arts Festival at Golden Gate Park on Aug. 9, 2015 in San Francisco.

October 1974 saw Elton John take to the stage wearing enormous specs embellished with an abundance of curly feathers. Taking to the stage at the Hippodrome de Vincennes concert hall, Elton wore a banana yellow blazer and pink specs that would make Barbie proud. None of which really helps you or me to know what we’ll be wearing this summer. “They can’t make me wear any of it!” you say. No, but your wife can. Wedding this summer? It could be a pink linen suit. Jaunty silk scarf or cravat with that? Maybe both.Starting with his Billboard Hot 100 top 40 debut with “Your Song” in 1970, Elton John has not only made an enduring impact on the music industry, but on the fashion world as well. A major contribution to John’s popularity was due to his daring and outside-the-box style. From feathers to sequins and his iconic colorful glasses, John’s clothes captured the attention of the entire world. The Disney classic featured a number of his greatest hits including 'Saturday Night’s Alright (For Fighting),''Tiny Dancer' and 'Don’t Go Breaking My Heart'. Elton John at his home in Wentworth, Surrey, during a shoot for the cover of ‘Elton John’s Greatest Hits’ 1974. The album topped the Billboard 200 for 10 consecutive weeks in 1974-75. Elton John performing at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, 1975. He is wearing a sequined Dodgers uniform. At least Christine from Greenwich knows who I am. “Elton!” she screams. Christine, who is 70, is on her honeymoon. “I’ve just got married for the first time,” she says. “My husband said: ‘Do you want to go to the Maldives or Mauritius?’ and I said: ‘Glastonbury!’” Good choice!

A piece of clothing that embodies the style of Elton John: a sequin, velvet Gucci blazer. This look manages to capture his love for sparkles and, of course, Gucci, at the 2019 Vanity Fair Oscar party. Elton John photographed London in 2018, wearing a Gucci outfit head to toe. His silk red pants and Gucci T-shirt are paired with a navy blazer embroidered with a heart dagger. He accessorizes this look with Gucci sneakers, and in true Elton fashion, sparkly sunglasses. In the early Eighties Sir Elton performed in various military-inspired looks amped up beyond belief, with huge epaulettes, plenty of badges and a hat balancing on his head. Elton John in a flamboyant stage outfit of white suit with feather trim and rhinestone encrusted glasses, circa 1973. He told V Magazine: “I’m proud of the part I played in moving eyewear from function to fashion. My eyes needed the functionality, but ‘blowing up’ what could be done with frames and lenses gave me an exciting new way of expressing myself.”
