FashionBeans’ Best Dressed List

The start of a new calendar year often brings with it a period of internal reflection and evaluation. Today, we apply these practices to those gents in the public eye – considering and evaluating their style credentials over the past twelve months to produce our best dressed list for 2013. With a slew of celebrities and personalities stepping up their sartorial game last year, the process was long and arduous – but after much deliberation we managed to compress the list to the ten men we thought stood head and shoulders above the rest.

Honourable Mentions

Before we start, it’s only right to give an honourable mention to five men who made our final shortlist, but were eventually beat out for a spot: Colin Farrell: Really smartened up his look last year, ditching the greasy, ill-fitting image that had been a previous fixture. Hopefully he’ll continue his style reinvention throughout 2014, too. Nick Wooster: The street style demi-God is a permanent fixture on any best dressed list. Having walked the SS14 catwalk for Mark McNairy and impressed with his own fashion week ensembles, ‘The Woost’ continued to do what he does best in 2013. Those wanting to read more about Mr Wooster should check out our previous breakdown of his personal style. Marc Ronson: Another perennial contender, Ronson’s wardrobe is statement laden, carried off with confidence and a terrific advert for British style. Few people could pull off the flamboyant shirts and tailoring Ronson does, but he narrowly misses out. Nick Grimshaw: Menswear ambassador for London Collections: MEN and GQ‘s Best Dressed Man for 2013, there’s not much more Grimmy could have achieved this year, apart from making our list. His eclectic, eccentric and trend-led attire has delivered him the highest of plaudits. A$AP Rocky: An unrivalled blend of high fashion and streetwear, A$AP had a breakout year and established himself as a contemporary fashion icon. Able to switch between tailoring and trainers effortlessly, his fashion-forward style often plays with cut and fit, creating some dramatic and unique silhouettes – definitely one to watch for 2014.

FashionBeans Best Dressed Men: 2013

In no particular order – it’s almost impossible, and unfair, to try and compare the timeless, masculine style of David Gandy with the chameleon-like ability of Pharrell – below are the ten individuals we consider to be the best dressed men of 2013…

David Gandy

An unrivalled commodity on the male model market, Mr Gandy has been lighting up the lenses of fashion photographers both on screen and off with his blend of British tailoring and Italian suave. A master of the double-breasted jacket and killer three-piece, Gandy’s appearances at global fashion weeks and, in particular, LC:M were sartorial highlights last year and his sharp style shows no signs of falling off any time soon. We mapped his rise to fame back in February in our inaugural model profile and stand-out looks for 2013 included his peak lapel blazer, double-breasted waistcoat and fedora combo at LC:M AW13, along with his beautiful blue double-breasted three-piece at LC:M SS14.

Johannes Huebl

German-born model and photographer Johannes Huebl is probably best known for being one half of a stylish ‘it’ couple with fiancé Olivia Palermo. His public profile means he is rarely out of a paparazzi lens and thus his style is under scrutiny 24/7 – he’s yet to let it slip. Tailoring is an integral weapon in his style arsenal, as demonstrated in his ‘The Way I Dress’ video for MR PORTER (below). He is a man who proves just how versatile and essential a good suit can be – not only for the office but as off-duty separates, too. Huebl is a modern-day icon and the epitome of the FashionBeans man’s approach to style.

Justin Theroux

A late contender for the list, Mr Theroux’s biker-infused style is particularly apt for 2013 with traditional heritage motorcycle jackets, biker jacket silhouettes and biker boots currently trending. Favouring leather pieces and tough boots, Theroux’s look not only ties in perfectly with the industry’s current move toward a more rugged, masculine aesthetic but it is also completely authentic; the man is often spotted riding his vast collection of motorcycles around NYC. Yet Theroux can also don a suit with the best of them, showing versatility. He brings diversity to this list with his perfectly curated stubble and dishevelled hair juxtaposing his perfect fit and, on occasion, sharp tailoring.
