While the former Beatle may be known for his immeasurable contribution to music, Paul McCartney also has a well-documented penchant for fashion.
Largely thanks to the late Linda McCartney, an American photographer and the musician's first wife, the sometimes kooky and always frolicsome outfits worn by McCartney have been immortalized forever -- from his classic 1970s long-lapel shirts to loud knitted sweater vests.
Anywhere was a runway for McCartney -- including the airport runway, where he was often photographed boarding and exiting jets sporting purple-lense aviator sunglasses or decorative Western shirts with a child perched on his hip. As captured by Linda, the musician steered clear of tailoring when off-stage and instead opted for a more casual, country-inspired wardrobe filled with fisherman knits, wellington boots and flying jackets when around family.
