Style shrinks: Our experts analyse the oddly successful sum of Mick Jagger's dodgy parts
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The shirt
Rebecca Gonsalves: Gents of a certain age are unable to resist the appeal of a lemon-yellow shirt – not even rock-star status provides immunity.
Mike Higgins: My dad did a solo clothes shop just the once. He came back with a yellow shirt and a yellow tie. My mum could sort Mick out…
The hair
Rebecca: An infuriatingly shaggy do that hasn't changed in years, but I suppose if you've still got it, you should flaunt it.
Mike: There's a photo out on the web imagining Mick bald – think young Rupert Murdoch.
The suit
Rebecca: Is that seersucker I see before me? Jagger obviously has a good tailor, but the waistband is creeping a bit high.
Mike: The dodgy suit, that shirt, those trainers, the perma-bouffant – none should work but together they are ineffably Mick.
The shoes
Rebecca: An A for effort for trainers to polish off the casual tailoring, though their box-fresh perfection means no gold star this time.
Mike: Is this 'sports luxe' in action? Or his bunions? Or, cunningly, a bit of each?
