" Captured on the set of his 1966 film, Arabesque, here&amp;#039;s Gregory Peck demonstrating the classic &amp;quot;Peck stare.&amp;quot; And though he was one of those rare few actors that could tell an entire story with nothing but a look, in this photo, the real story isn&amp;#039;t in his eyes \u2014 it&amp;#039;s on his wrists. With his script in hand, Peck is showing us all just how a jacket, shirt, and timepiece should interact with one another. It begins with his shirt sleeve hitting just above the base of his hand (which is where you want yours to land when your arms are bent, too). After that, there&amp;#039;s the jacket, ending just a couple of centimeters before the shirt does. And finally, the watch, peeking out just enough to be seen, but not enough to look like Peck needs it to be seen. Why is this all so important? Because it gives his look some balance, the white of the shirt cuff punctuating the end of his jacket sleeve as the watch adds a little extra dimension, a little extra depth. Of course, show any more cuff than the couple centimeters Peck does, and you&amp;#039;ll look like you&amp;#039;re wearing your little brother&amp;#039;s jacket. So, don&amp;#039;t do that. Just follow Peck&amp;#039;s lead and you&amp;#039;ll ensure that your jacket looks proper all the way through. As for that stare? Well, that might take a bit more practice.
