Renowned musician and former Beatle Paul McCartney has always had a playful sense of style. To celebrate his birthday on Saturday, we take a look back at his best fashion moments.
McCartney wears a scarf with a striped blazer and purple trousers at a release party for Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, May 19, 1967, in London.
The singer on-set in Cornwall for the Beatles documentary "Magical Mystery Tour" in 1967. Although the original designer of this Fair Isle sweater vest is unknown, it has since been replicated by fans all over the internet.
There's an effortlessly cool, casual side to the singer's look, as shown here in a picture with McCartney's then girlfriend Jane Asher and his Old English Sheepdog in Glasgow, Scotland, December 1967.
In 1968, McCartney gives a twist on classic with a transparent polka dot shirt.
Traveling couldn't stop a good outfit. Here in 1971 at Gatwick Airport near London, McCartney dons a highly decorated Western shirt with his wife Linda and two children Mary (left) and Heather (right).
Post-Beatles, in 1971 at their family farm in Scotland, McCartney embraces a more parred down, country-inspired wardrobe.
The former Beatle donned another vibrant knit for his TV appearance in 1972. While performing his theme tune for the new Bond movie "Live and Let Die," McCartney paired a beaded necklace with a funky sweater vest.
Taken alongside his wife Linda in 1972, McCartney dresses kookier and kookier after establishing a new pop group called Wings.
Pattern clashes, T-shirts worn on top of shirts and a laissez-faire approach to styling produced some of McCartney's most interesting looks, like this one during a visit to the studio in 1973.
McCartney had a vibrant sweater collection, including this blue, white and red number which featured an embroidered ski jumper on the front, taken in 1973.
A red carpet look to remember: At the 1973 premiere of "Live And Let Die," for which McCartney's band Wings provided the title song, the singer donned a suit jacket -- no shirt -- and wore a necklace-turned-bow-tie instead of the real thing.
Graphic knits and striking shirts were a mainstay for the former Beatle, pictured here with British rock group Wings at Abbey Road Studios in 1974.

Never missing an opportunity to accessorize, McCartney is photographed wearing a neck scarf during a shoot in 1975.
