At a certain point in a man’s life, there are certain milestones he can achieve to signify that he’s arrived. Some may choose an expensive watch, others may go the standard route of the convertible. An even fewer number of men reach the status of, yes, having a sandwich named after them (a man can dream, after all.) But to really signify true badassery, saying to the world that you’re the Cock of the Walk, is to develop and be recognized as having your own personal uniform.

Personal uniforms can be as varied and unique as the men who own them, and we DO mean own them. So we got to thinking: What are some of our favorite and most iconic personal uniforms of the great men throughout history? Well, here are eight we came up with off the top of our heads, sure to frustrate us later when we think of more to add. Enjoy.

Steve Jobs

Tech genius. Terrible human. His uniform is so famous that even copycat phonies in the Tech world have ripped off his style.

Mark Twain & Tom Wolfe

Not every man can pull off the all-white suit. Hell, hardly anyone can. But these two great writers did it with aplomb. Clemens started it, and Tom Wolfe perfected it.

Johnny Cash

The man wore all-black so well that he probably should’ve earned a nickname for it, eh?

Prince

Speaking of colorful nicknames…He wasn’t referred to as “The Purple One” because he loved Grape Soda. If your personality and talent is as massive and eclectic as the late Prince Rogers Nelson, then you’re gonna need a color that is as colorful as your personality.

Karl Lagerfeld

We’ve repeatedly said that the late designer would’ve made the perfect Bond Villain, but his personal uniform is equal parts Cruella DeVil and equal parts Blofeld.

Albert Einstein

The greatest mind of all time and our favorite unassuming womanizer was also an underrated style icon for the ages. If E = mc2, and every action has an equal and opposite reaction (thank you, Sir Isaac,) then old Albert’s style is infinitely more stylish than you, probably.
