Henry Winkler starred as Fonzie in Happy Days and has been a movie favorite for many years. As the image of the leather-jacketed Israeli who popularised Fonzie’s style in the 1979 movie and subsequent TV series, Winkler’s fashion sense is both instantly recognizable, and fascinating. Just as he can deftly blend a timeless aesthetic with one that seems so modern and current, he can wear formality and casualness like nobody’s business. Below we list six of Henry Winkler’s all-time classic and ageless fashion statements.
1. The Fonz Leather Jacket
No television character is perhaps as iconic for a particular look as Henry Winkler as Fonzie in his leather jacket. This was so when worn with a simple white round-neck T-shirt and jeans, the leather jacket became … the ultimate status symbol. Not only did this rather proclastic but defiant attire encapsulate all the known facets of his character on Happy Days, it also clearly established Winkler, as the ‘fashion icon’ of the 1970s.
2. Sharp in a Tailored Suit
It had been his smooth-talking character that always had an eye for a bit of leather but outside of the fictitious worlds, Henry Winkler has equally honed skills of eye for tailor-made suit. For such occasions as award ceremonies, he prefers his usual black customized suits accompanied by clean neat white shirts and ant sophisticated ties. His at the Emym’s in a sleek black tuxedo for a formal sophisticated and classy look still lingers in my mind.
3. Comfortable wearing a sweater and jeans on the side of relaxed.
For the most part, Winkler’s demeanor off-camera seems to be typical of the man as he is, friendly and easy to talk to. One of his dependable looks is an outfit of a warm-colored sweater worn with dark wash jeans. This is yet another simple but clean look and perfectly embodies his ‘laid back ad yet polished’ theme, which is yet again the result of his compromise-free and comfort-focused approach.
4. Chill in a blazer and T-shirt with black pants
In terms of social functions in official events, fashionable clothes, and official wear Henry Winkler includes blazers with T-shirts. There was one memorable look of him when he wore a grey blazer with a black T-shirt and jeans. The fact that elements from both formal and casual wear were incorporated into the outfit provided the outfit a sort of ’business casual’ appearance.
5. Classic in a Cardigan
Henry Winkler loves cardigans and, even though almost all of them are sleek and stylish, he opts for wearing them in less formal contexts. His best look was the blue cardigan on a button-down shirt and khaki pants outfit which was rare enough to make him stand out. The outfit was simple, elegant, and very comfortable and I could tell that he had a soft spot for anything timeless.
6. Polished in a V-neck sweater
One of Winkler’s favorite styles is the v-neck sweater which, he occasionally combines with dress shirts. Wearing a v-neck with a grey color over a white shirt is a style that was more sophisticated, and richer at the book signing event that he attended, and the print on the shirt gave it that touch. It was very formal and perfect for this elegant, mature, and charming look he had always wanted.
Henry Winkler may have worn different clothes over the years but he has that style that always remains ageless and his acting career is historic. It might be said that from his juvenile delinquent Fonz motorcycle jacket lookalike days right up to his sophisticated Hollywood red carpet moments, Winkler has provided detailed evidence that for him, fashion is the very epitome of who he is. Whether dressed in everyday wear or formal wear he always adds warmth, charm, and class to the style.
