The reviews for Morrissey's latest album, "Years of Refusal," seem to indicate his continued celebration of self-pity is as rousing as ever. Moz's ninth solo album features soaring choruses and lyrics that are, of course, witty and withering. Meanwhile, the cover shows the man himself, stylish as ever with his pompadour quiff, wearing a baby-blue Fred Perry shirt (presumably to go with the baby he's somewhat incongruously holding).We're of the belief that Morrissey's latter-day solo efforts are more muscular and straightforward than the tunes he belted out with his now-classic band, The Smiths. Still, as gracefully as the singer has aged, there have been few frontmen who can do laid back as elegantly and captivating as the enigmatic '80s Morrissey. Check out our version of the look below.
The Smiths "Meat Is Murder" T-shirt
A big part of The Smiths' carefully constructed public persona was their distinctive monochrome sleeve art, designed by Morrissey and record label Rough Trade's art coordinator Jo Slee. Rather than typical band shots, album and single covers featured vintage photographs of film stars and other iconic imagery, like the soldier on "Meat Is Murder." ($18 from OldGlory.com)
April 77 White Jeans
If you're brave enough to don slim-fit white jeans, you may as well go the whole hog and pick up a pair from uber-rock n' roll French label April 77. ($80 from Yoox.com)

Static Link Bracelet
Morrissey has always balanced his fey, poetic side with a dash of flashy working-class machismo, as demonstrated by his ring-and-wrist-bling combo here. ($32 from Nordstrom.com)
Murray's Superior Pomade
The very essence of Morrissey's look is his rockabilly-inspired quiff. Begin with a generous scoop of old-school Murray's pomade for hold, then add a healthy dollop of the Super Light version for shine. ($3.50 from TheVelvetVault.com)
Styling Comb
Of course, the pomade would be useless without the right tool. ($2.25 from Ulta.com)
