Over the Top Men's Fashion 2017
It wasn't that long ago that lists attempting to rank men by how they dressed were weary, anticipated things. Menswear was about rules – the spoils went to whomever adhered to them best. They'd be half Hollywooders whose stylists knew how a dinner suit should fit, a couple of musicians in leather jackets and a rapper or two.
Then everything blew upward. The Rules, rehashed in new ways every decade, collapsed in on themselves. The result, over the past couple of years, was a fashion supernova. Up was down, coincidental became smart, and hip-hop rose both in the charts and on cherry-red carpets.
The men on this list don't share a single look. But they embody the same approach, one that is thoroughly modern: "I wear what I remember looks good, whether you concur or not." These are the guys who, in 2017, reminded united states of america why nosotros love style. Who showed us new ways to dress and who divers the most exciting era in menswear for more than than a century. Quick Bound: 50-41 | twoscore-31 | 30-21 | 20-eleven | x-1
l. Roger Moore
There's been plenty of bad news in 2017, just for fans of well-dressed men of a certain historic period there was more – Roger Moore sadly left the building. Nosotros'll remember him through slightly teary eyes every bit the man who made the white dinner jacket expect the best it (probably) ever has while bringing achingly absurd outfits to the wardrobe of the world'due south most famous spy. This Bond's style is even so one tough act to follow: Sir Rog, you've undoubtedly left the world a footling scrap less stylish.
"It's easy to confuse the style of the late Roger Moore with his spell as James Bond – the flares and fat knots, the safari suits… Off-screen Moore was both more classical and more elegant in his clothes. He was more Bail than Bail, as cocky-deprecating and good-humored in person as his on-screen personae." – Josh Sims, author, Icons of Men's Manner
49. Matt Bomer
With the kind of jawline more commonly found in comic books, i of the latest actors off America's leading man product line has a flake of a headstart when it comes to looking practiced. But he besides does a fine line in everything that comes below. His style is classic, but with a (wear) twist, oft elevating unproblematic tailoring beyond the typical nine-to-five clobber. The White Collar star has also fabricated the wise career option to e'er await at least a meg dollars in a dinner arrange.
"Matt Bomer knows exactly how to play with layering, adding a waistcoat or knitwear nether a cropped leather jacket or a woolen wintertime overcoat." – Danny Ching, senior designer, Hardy Amies
48. Jonah Loma
His transformation from token funny fat child to Academy Honour-nominated actor is impressive plenty on its own. Only in 2017, Jonah Hill decided to add together another switch-upward into the mix, this fourth dimension with his advent. Aslope a new slimmed-down physique, the War Dogs star developed his own, unique laid-dorsum aesthetic, merging skate brands such as Dime, Palace and Richardson with high-end statement pieces from likes of Saint Laurent and
"Hill has long known how to await skillful in a tux. This yr, he likewise left the stoner vibe behind and adopted a smarter and more contemporary take on smart-coincidental." – Luke Sampson, associate editor, FashionBeans
47. Tom Hiddleston
Let's address the elephant in the room. Yes, the human who sported that infamous 'I Love T. S.' belong in 2016 has fabricated our listing of the best-dressed men. Everyone makes mistakes, and thankfully for Tom Hiddleston, this year has been devoid of any skin-itch cringe statements. Instead, he's been doing what he does best: precipitous suits that go heavy on pattern and occasionally get colourful. A case for finding what works for your mode and rinsing the hell out of it.
"Non many people wearable a slim-fit suit meliorate than Hiddleston. If you're ever unsure about proportions when it comes to tailoring, just do what he does." – Ian Taylor, editor-in-chief, FashionBeans
46. Nick Jonas
It'south not impossible to remember a fourth dimension when the Jonas brothers were peak lame. Merely have a gander at Nick Jonas at present. Gone is the mega-mopped Disney boyband-droid and in his place stands an bodily human, and a well-dressed one at that. Not averse to a patterned suit and with a collection of bombers that regularly plow u.s. envy, Jonas has developed into a connoisseur of cool that we admire, sartorially speaking at least.
"The Jonas await is one of two things, ordinarily: a never-wearisome mix of streetwear, or statement tailoring done without looking similar he'due south peacocking. Difficult to fault." – Luke Todd, deputy editor, FashionBeans
45. Rami Malek
Despite a nativity certificate that confirms his 36 years on earth, Rami Malek has quite clearly struck the same Dorian Gray arrangement that'southward kept Pharrell suspended in time. Which is good news for his wardrobe, as it ways he can castor off concerns of age appropriateness and carry on chucking on whatever he likes the expect of: statement outerwear, bold print shirts, colourful tailoring and fifty-fifty a moustache and vest for his upcoming plough in the Freddie Mercury biopic.
"Bated from an enviable collection of bomber jackets, what nosotros really like nigh Rami Malek's style is that he never goes boring on the red carpet, whether he's combining a leather jacket with tailoring or picking out a accommodate most guys wouldn't have the brass to endeavor." – Jamie Millar, men's style author
44. Mahershala Ali
How do y'all end a year that started with picking up an Oscar and a stint as a Calvin Klein model? Land yourself a place on our all-time-dressed list, that's how. Mahershala Ali fabricated the cut thanks to his unrivalled ability to endlessly pull off new looks. Nosotros've had Maheshrala Ali in a dinner arrange, Mahershala Ali in double denim, and Mahershala Ali in layered camel. It all worked.
"He was only in Moonlight for all of ten minutes and stole the show – such is the power of Mahershala Ali, an ascendant Hollywood histrion, whose style is known for lifting staple looks with flashes of argument hither and there. Look up his tartan-panelled job jacket for proof." – Murray Clark, assistant editor, FashionBeans
43. Andrew Garfield
Andrew Garfield's single-handedly flying the flag for lanky, proudly geeky guys in Hollywood – and we're all for it. The sartorial struggle that comes with being tall, but not peculiarly wide, is real, but the erstwhile Spiderman nails information technology by making sure the cut of his clothes follows his grade rather than swamp or cling to him. At his all-time in a never-ending tailoring rotation, Garfield plays with pattern, colour and separates for a modernistic take on fifties formalwear.
"It could be easy for someone with baby-faced charm and big floppy hair like Andrew to become stuck in perennial youthful style on the skinny suit merry-get-round. But like his acting, Andrew has embraced an elegant maturity with his look." – Sarah Ann Murray, style editor and stylist
42. Waris Ahluwalia
It's difficult to say exactly what Waris Ahluwalia'southward full-time occupation is. So to make life easy, we're just going to swerve his CV and move on to his wardrobe. Purportedly a massive hater of being put in a (figurative) dressing-up box, Ahluwalia's style works and so well because it takes influences from all corners of menswear and throws them together in one impeccably judged sartorial mish-mash. Respecting the wishes of the homo himself, we're not going to attempt to define his look, nosotros'll just simply sit back and adore.
"Waris has a great style, often mixing tailoring with unexpected twists and accessories. He wore our quilted waistcoat over a accommodate and nether a trench coat to add a more casual layer. He has fun with his style, which comes beyond when you lot speak to him." – Delphine Ninous, creative manager, Belstaff
41. Jake Gyllenhaal
Ill-brash hipster beard phase aside, it'due south fair to say that Jake Gyllenhaal has been pretty steadfast equally one of Hollywood's premier male person dressers. The Nocturnal Animals actor has since ditched the aforementioned bushy mentum wig for an impeccably groomed, short, boxed beard, merely his wardrobe has needed no such update. Throughout 2017, you were just as likely to see Gyllenhaal at New York Fashion Week in a slouchy grey coiffure neck and jeans, every bit you were to spot him on the carmine carpet in a well-fitted adjust. It's this versatility that sees him cementing his identify among this year'due south all-time-dressed men.
"Gyllenhaal sticks to tailored silhouettes and safe colour palettes (every bit nigh of u.s. practice). Information technology'due south elementary, but that gives his look an effortlessness that's hard to manufacture." Ian Taylor, editor-in-chief, FashionBeans
twoscore. Cillian Murphy
It speaks volumes nearly Cillian Murphy's on-screen style that a man can now confidently pace into any barbers and bark "Peaky Blinders, mate", and walk out 45 minutes subsequently with the exact haircut he had in mind. But it'due south non just every bit Brummy tough-nut Tommy Shelby that this Irish actor deserves praise. Off screen, his wardrobe manages to be simultaneously eclectic and low-cardinal. An everyman-type vibe, carried off with an achingly cool nonchalance that puts him among the best dressers in Hollywood. We're not certain what's sharper: his wardrobe, or his cheekbones.
"Outside of Peaky Blinders, his inimitably laid-back arroyo to formal dressing gives him a absurd everyman aesthetic that's much harder to pull off convincingly than he makes it look." – Moss Bros, men'southward blueprint squad
39. Oliver Proudlock
Oliver Proudlock may take come to public prominence through Fabricated in Chelsea (AKA the poshest reality Tv set show always created), only in a earth of non-ironic shooting garb and tweed fails, Proudlock is the dissenting dresser whose get-ups are oftentimes more than East London than South-West. Anything that men are typically agape to vesture, Proudlock will put on. Bold prints, layer later on layer, caput-to-toe streetwear? That's a regular mean solar day for this TV personality, who is also the brains backside the brilliant Serge DeNimes brand. If you can think of it and it isn't boring, Proudlock has probably worn it, and it probably worked.
"Ever an envelope pusher in the style section, Proudlock consistently flouts what well-nigh people expect from the Made In Chelsea brigade, mashing upwardly streetwear, hip-hop and rock 'north' whorl for a look that is entirely his own." – Luke Todd, deputy editor, FashionBeans
38. Anthony Joshua
For anyone out at that place who's intimately familiar with the squat rack, Anthony Joshua is a complete lesson in what to wear when you lot're all musculus. On the crimson carpet, he leans towards a directly cut, rather than anything aggressively slim, so that he can actually sit downward inside. He understands the power of wearing a slightly longer jacket to balance out his iron paradise upper half and pleated trousers to make low-cal piece of work of his heavyweight quads. Because even when yous're big, it'southward the little details that count.
"Anthony Joshua oozes style and charisma. He looks slick in tailoring and makes a white T-shirt look the business." – Alex Longmore, glory stylist
37. Alexander Skarsgård
Alexander Skarsgård is a six-foot-something Swede with a face that looks like information technology'due south been painstakingly carved from marble, so dressing well is probably a chip of a hobby for him rather than a necessity. That said, 2017 has been another stellar year in the wardrobe of this War On Everyone thespian, who casually flips between classic Hollywood tailoring and annoyingly good thrown-on airport outfits. It'due south not simply his option of clobber that gets an enthusiastic thumbs upwardly from u.s.a. either, his moustachioed mug at the Emmys almost convinced u.s. to reconsider everything nosotros thought we knew about appropriate and inappropriate facial decoration.
"Vertically unchallenged? Alexander Skarsgård shows men how to do tall, handsome and dressy. Peculiarly in a suit." – Marcus Jaye, blogger, The Chichi Geek
36. Jon Kortajarena
Just when you thought you lot couldn't get any more green-eyed most Jon Kortajarena, a man seemingly designed to bespeak out everyone else'south physical shortcomings, it turns out he'southward also an amiable guy with nothing issues in wardrobe the section. Bitter, us? Kortajarena'due south style works because he has a clear agreement of the situation he's dressing for. He does velvet dinner suits IRL just also equally in those Tom Ford ads, and brings the right level of unbuttoned aloofness to what he wears on the weekend. We hope his breath smells.
"Jon Kortajarena is a prime example of human being who really works his best – and most prominent – feature, fifty-fifty though information technology'south not the kind of characteristic every human being would want to work. He'southward blessed by natural good looks, just like fellow model Cara Delevigne it'south his thick, attention-seeking, slightly unruly eyebrows he's known for." – Lee Kynaston, grooming editor, FashionBeans
35. Marker Ronson
It'southward a universally acknowledged fact that there's no colour on the Pantone chart that isn't hung up in Mark Ronson'south wardrobe. Nosotros're glad of it though, a few skillful turns in a blackness dinner suit will merely get you so far. Ronson's not just a headliner in jazzy suits, mind, he'south unbeatable at knowing what works well with them. T-shirts, printed shirts, shoes lifted directly off the set up of Bugsy Malone; if goose egg else, he made 2017 a much less of a sartorial snoozefest.
"This guy dresses himself every bit well as he produces music. You tin tell if someone is an original or just a adventurer. Mark has ever looked proficient and unique. The mode he mixes all styles is a bit of an insight into his own personality, I recall." – Sebastian Dollinger, creative director, Eton Shirts
34. Tinie Tempah
In that location are a few lucky men in the world who can pretty much chuck on whatever they want and still look maddeningly good. Example in point: Tinie Tempah. Whether clad in loud, clashing prints, streetwear or draped in gilded chains, Tinie makes our wardrobes experience woefully conservative pretty much every time nosotros clap eyes on him. Maybe don't try this at home, just admire from a distance.
"Not one to shy abroad from a argument accommodate, Tinie Tempah gets our vote for championing dauntless choices. He'south willing to accept risks with color and texture, nevertheless he manages to make the sometimes-tricky balance between bold and tasteful await piece of cake." – Moss Bros, men'due south design squad
33. Jeff Bridges
While 90 per cent of the male population go grey and immediately descend into a bootcut-jeaned, ill-fitting blazered malaise, the remaining x per cent (of which Jeff Bridges is well-nigh certainly a part) age like a fine canteen of something expensive, earning themselves the later life-affirming 'silver play a joke on' moniker. Bridges may be knocking on 70'due south door, but geriatric clichés don't class any part of his way lexicon. A nutrition of well-cut suits make up the majority of his wardrobe, each finished with a how'd-yous-brand-it-perfect necktie and beard that almost makes us wish nosotros could speed up time.
"Jeff Bridges has that uncanny ability not only to encompass age, but to remind usa all that it tin can look pretty damn absurd too. He seems to don a tuxedo or three-piece arrange with an effortless bohemian charm, though await closely and you'll notice his suits always fit perfectly." – Sarah Ann Murray, fashion editor and stylist
32. Aziz Ansari
Comedian and Chief of None actor Aziz Ansari doesn't need a souped-up wardrobe to assistance his pulling potential: women love funny men, but that hasn't stopped him crafting a personal fashion that marks him out as a main of, well, most things menswear. Every bit a regular on the awards circuit, we've seen him pull off stunting suits time and again. And when it comes to pounding the mean streets of New York, he's got a killer chino and bomber jacket rotation.
"Comedians aren't known for their great style only Aziz Ansari has bucked the tendency: recollect razor-sharp tailoring, the odd popular of colour and probably a 1-liner to top it off." – Murray Clark, assistant editor, FashionBeans
31. Ansel Elgort
This was the twelvemonth Ansel Elgort began to earn his seat at Hollywood's top table, swapping sickly sweet teen films for compact, bona fide acting roles (particularly a star-making turn in the very stylish Baby Driver). Right on cue, his wardrobe also stepped into leading man territory, proving on more than than 1 occasion that Elgort knows how to shake up a suit for the cherry-red carpet, only is equally adept at making a getaway in a preppy bomber jacket and a pair of piece of work boots.
"Elgort is the new crown prince of Hollywood and his way fits the function perfectly: colorful Americana, laid-back varsity jackets and, when he needs to, exemplary tailoring." – Jamie Millar, men'southward fashion writer
30. Eric Rutherford
Eric Rutherford looks good in a suit. He likewise looks adept in dad jeans, a woolly jumper and a overnice shirt. Which is securely unfair, because, for near men in their 40s, that's an outfit which implies they've given up, rather than the kind of affair you wear to Way Week. But then, that'due south the genius of his mode; it'due south unfussy, unpretentious, simply nails the nuts – fit, fabrications, course – then it always speaks louder than the sum of its parts. The fact he's also got cheekbones that could cutting diamonds is only a bonus.
"Eric Rutherford has that classic effortless manner which fits into any era. His low-cal tailoring during July's menswear collections in New York was outstanding." – Jonathan Daniel Pryce, menswear photographer
29. Conor McGregor
There are two things Irish MMA powerhouse Conor McGregor is best known for: laying the smackdown inside the octagon, and rocking knock-out ostentatious outfits outside of it. The Notorious one is all IDGAF attitude, and that comes through tenfold in his unapologetically flamboyant get-ups, which tin can't be referenced without mentioning his custom 'Fuck Y'all' pinstripe adjust. While there are few (if whatever) men who could pull it off, Conor does and then because of his unfaltering, balls-out self-assurance. Proof, if ever it were needed, that true style is all almost conviction.
"Yep, he's brash and non everyone could go away with what he wears, but "Fuck You" tailoring gets a thumbs up for sheer audacity." – Marcus Jaye, blogger, The Chic Geek
28. Pharrell Williams
Dissimilar most other men on this list, Pharrell is not an example of how you should dress. No 1 else on world can pull off master colours, coruscating patterns, distressing and jewellery, all in one outfit. Just he does epitomise how y'all should recall well-nigh style: that clothes can be fun; they should limited your personality rather than that of the brand which fabricated them; and with plenty confidence, rules aren't so rigid after all. Okay, and then that doesn't necessarily mean you should immediately experiment with oversized headwear. But maybe, make 2018 the yr you accept a few more risks. If it makes y'all every bit 'Happy' as Pharrell, it's worth it.
"Pharrell is always setting trends, and looks effortlessly cool no matter the occasion. He never hides from colour, takes risks and has produced some assuming, crazy, iconic collaborations to date." – James Wright, menswear designer, Nicce
27. Matt Smith
Whatsoever human being can, within reason, look adept. And information technology doesn't take Leto-levels of eccentricity to get at that place. That Matt Smith wins nearly red carpets by sticking to what he does best is a testament to the same ineffable sense of taste that'south seen him reach the A-list by eschewing blockbusters for Tv set roles. That's courtesy of an actorly cocky-conviction that shines through in what he wears off-screen; understated, elegant and never shouting for attention. But always getting it.
"Matt Smith is one of Britain's best dressers thanks to his ability to seamlessly transition from heritage-inflected looks to grungier go-ups in a way that feels totally authentic and incommunicable to impersonate." – Luke Sampson, associate editor, FashionBeans
26. Riz Ahmed
If at that place'south a red carpet rolled out and Riz Ahmed'south scheduled to walk on it, we'd put large money on him making best-dressed lists the following solar day. The Rogue One thespian is one of those guys who has the ideal frame for wearing tailoring, which we suspect helps a lot when he's constantly pulling off suits that aren't painfully boring. If patterned tailoring and air ties sound a bit dodgy on paper, and then take a quick Google of Ahmed during awards season. It tin be done, and very well at that.
"The guy's just impossibly cool and that shines through in his style – bank check whatsoever red carpet and he'll exist off to the side somewhere, in a petrol-bluish suit, or micro-florals. He'll be the best-dressed guy but he doesn't even seem to care. And that's what true manner is all nearly." – Tom Banham, men's style writer
25. Dave Franco
We've given up keeping track of the latest bizarre thing James Franco has said or done this yr. Instead, nosotros've been keeping our beady eyes fixed firmly on his younger brother, Dave, and his definitely-non-bizarre wardrobe. A polar opposite of Jared Leto or Lewis Hamilton, Franco Jr is consequent in letting classic staples like the polo shirt do the talking, all the while adding an of-the-moment edge by championing style moves such as the shirt tuck and seasonally-appropriate mankle. James, you can keep your hand-me-downs.
"He does some winning throwbacks to fifties menswear, only Dave Franco too reminds us that monochrome outfits pretty much never let you downwards." – Murray Clark, assistant editor, FashionBeans
24. Johannes Huebl
Johannes Huebl is fortunate to exist adept at looking good, considering anything below par is going to make him feel like average Joe next to wife Olivia Palermo. The 39-year-old model's fashion won't win any awards for close-the-front end-door originality, but that'south no bad thing. He consistently demonstrates that blazers don't just brand sense for fancy awards dos, they work just as well with a denim shirt and white chinos in summer. In truth, if more men had the ability to make tailoring feel so effortless, we dubiousness they'd want to switch it up either.
"The German model looks good in everything, but he's particularly practiced at tailored separates. If you want to mix up your blazers and trousers, type his name into Google images for a two-second masterclass." – Ian Taylor, editor-in-master, FashionBeans
23. Stanley Tucci
Await at Stanley Tucci and y'all'll wonder why nosotros all don't wear a suit all the time. He is amid a scattering of Hollywood players – including Savile Row-obsessed Paul Feig – who don't only break out the tailoring when a reddish carpet event requires him to. It's a elementary thing, but he understands that fit doesn't merely mean fitted; Tucci switches between loose and calorie-free in Cannes to heftier British jackets, all roped shoulders and chest padding, like other guys change their shirts. He always looks like a man who slipped on a conform because he couldn't imagine wearing anything else. Which is why fifty-fifty at his virtually trussed up, Tucci always appears to be having fun.
"No one wears a suit like Stanley Tucci. The key is in the fit and attention to item, he is ever impeccably turned out." – Nick Tahir, head of menswear, River Island
