drive style tips

Ryan Gosling in Drive pulls a seriously cool look with his fitted Levis denim jacket, driving gloves and lengthy silences, but as is so often the case, it’s the sunglasses that finish it all off. These Selma Optique Money 2s give the whole thing that slightly off-kilter, wrong/right feel that sums up his character, much like Travis Bickle’s American Optical aviators did in Taxi Driver, which intriguingly bears more than just a passing resemblance to Drive. Both films are visually stunning and feature the quiet loner with little else in his life, looking to rescue a stranded woman with some seriously tooled-up ass-kicking. Of course, like a lot of things of late these sunnies are kind of 80s, but as evidenced by the brilliant soundtrack, it’s always about absorbing the references and being selective. If you feel you can rock the blood-spattered quilted scorpion jacket as well, I say Drive on.
