GQ Lists the 50 Most Stylish Men - Here are my Faves from that List
I was checking out GQ’s website one day on behalf of a male friend looking for fashion advice and I found GQ's 50 Most Stylish Men (of all time). They put together a great list of men some I was very familiar with, some not so much. However, I think they put together fabulous list of men that exude oodles of panache. What I love most about their list is that they chose a group that has a wide range of style, ethnically diverse, and you’ll notice that they all rose to popularity during different decades - not to mention I LOVE a well-dressed man!
So, my Sugar beauties, I picked a few of my favorites from GQ’s list and also provided the link to the full list below. I hope you have fun reading it as much as I did!
Marcello Mastroianni
A white French-cuff shirt makes the gentleman. But be sure to keep the cuff links simple—the boldness of the cuffs makes enough of a statement.
Steve McQueen
The simpler the better. You don’t need bold patterns or loud colors to make a style statement. A perfect-fitting T-shirt and a great pair of black wraparound shades will do just fine.
David Bowie
The skinnier the tie, the louder the (style) performance. And isn’t it funny how what looked sharp forty years ago still looks sharp today? --Gosh he looks young! But he still looks good now!
Basquiat
Traditional clothes don’t have to be traditional. When you’ve got dreads and plenty of attitude, that striped tie and toggle coat become downtown cool instead of East Coast prep school
Elvis
A knit tie will never go out of style. The Beatles wore them when they got off the plane at JFK (black ones, with square-cut bottoms), and you can still buy any number of versions today.
George Clooney
Go gray. Just be sure to keep your hair on the trim side and dress like a gentleman—not a frat boy. You’re no longer in college
Richard Avedon
A safari shirt works as well in the city as it does in the field. It’s rugged but elegant.
Beck
A suit is always appropriate—especially when worn out of the office. And so what if you’ve got long hair? The contrast makes that much more of a statement.
The Kennedy Brothers
Tweed jackets carry that Kennedy pedigree, but they look great on everyone. Just pick your favorite one and wear it your way—with khakis, with jeans, with a polo shirt, with a V-neck sweater…
Tom Brady
If you want to be taken seriously, pay as much attention to your hair as your suit. You’re going to be judged from head to toe.
Malcolm X
A short-brimmed fedora is heroic and hip. And you might have noticed, they’re also back in style—whether in wool (for the winter) or straw (for the summer).
Yves Saint-Laurent
Find a signature item and stick with it. Saint-Laurent wore a version of these bold glasses throughout his career.
Paul Newman
Go buy a white oxford cloth button-down-collar dress shirt. Now. You can wear one with a suit or a blazer, or with jeans, cords, or khakis.
Miles Davis
Every man should own at least one pair of great khakis. And by “great,” we mean slim-cut and flat-front.
Hubert de Givenchy
Underdressing is the only sin. You should never be afraid to be the best-dressed man in the room.
Sean Connery
The little things make the man. Notice the cufflinks and the pocket square. But also notice that they’re subdued—white handkerchief, understated links. And the suit, shirt, and tie are also subtle. Look chic, not like a mobster.
Arnold Palmer
A polo shirt should be formfitting. Its sleeves should hug your biceps, and its body should fit snugly around your torso.
Andre 3000
Find your inner dandy and let him loose. Getting dressed should be fun, not stressful.
Michael Jordan
A bald head is always better than a balding head. Jordan taught us this, and everyone from Bruce Willis to Mark Messier has proved it so.
Robert Redford
Wire-rimmed aviators are an essential accessory. They’re cool and refined, meaning they look right dressed up or dressed down.
