James Brown's music and style were perfectly matched. The funk master's bold patterns and shiny blazers fit his adventurous, groundbreaking sound, striking just the right revolutionary note. And that note's echoing today: Vibrant, graphic button-downs and shimmering suits are back in a big way (singer Bruno Mars is carrying Brown's torch at the moment), making it easier than ever to emulate the "hardest-working man in show business."
