Casual - Some very shiny and blinding shorts for the beach.

Interesting - Interesting people don't need interesting hats.

Beads - Power beads were a thing in 2000. Beckham was into it.

Simple -

Another monochrome look that doesn't stand the test of time.

Sporting - Even in 1998, there were more stylish choices of golf wear than this ensemble.

Seasonal - David Beckham announces the birth of his son, Romeo, in an unnecessary winter hat in September 2002.

Suited - Less star footballer and more corporate banker—with headband.

Travel wear - Looking every part someone's dad on holiday, in China in 2003.

Fan - Watching tennis with his wife in a scarf, diamond earrings, those power beads again, and a jacket he borrowed from a Geography teacher.

Shiny - That is too much of a shiny suit. The open shirt and large pendant do not help the situation either.

Author - Promoting his autobiography, 'My Side,' in 2003 with his locks loose and long.

His side - And on the same tour, with jeans that are a tad too long.

Cosy - Arriving in Rome for Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' wedding in a unique choice of knitwear.

Model - A 1998 headshot shows that he has the looks to be an ambassador, but the jacket suggests he might not have the intrinsic style needed.

Three-piece - Stockbroker chic for the launch of the Beckham Signature fragrance collection in 2008.

Cut - Attending a family wedding without making time for a fitting beforehand.

Casual meeting - The uniform likely wasn't his own choice, but the hair was. If this is how he meets Nelson Mandela, are the Brits wise to trust him to represent British fashion around the world?

Matching - The jeans and blazer look was a thing, but why are the lapels so shiny and shoes so scuffed?

26 / 29 Fotos

Temperate - Is he hot or cold? More confusing than a Katy Perry song.

27 / 29 Fotos

Capped - Sportswear is forgivable on an athlete, but what is with the hat placement?

28 / 29 Fotos

Sensible - In New York this April, Beckham demonstrates that two coats are better than one.
