Hey, Comb It Like Dapper Dan!

In another June 2011 piece, Menswear magazine hails the coming of a new old hairstyle: the slicked back look. Crediting Mad Men's Don Draper for the advent of the recent trend, the article names several prominent offenders: Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, and George Clooney.

Some of these guys have been wearing their hair slicked back on and off, in the movies and out, for years so attributing the resurgence of the look to Mad Men might be overstating the case a bit, but the hairstyle does seem fairly prominent on red carpets these days. Some other personalities famous for sporting the do at one point or another: Zac Efron, Johnny Depp, and Alec Baldwin. But if all this feels just a little too close to Gordon Gekko, the upside is that if the style does take off outside celebrity land, at least we'll be able to wear hats again without looking like we just got out of bed.
