I'm afraid, Jay, that the very inclusion of the mighty Jarvis Cocker renders this comment absolutely moot! He's such a dude. It's nice to see Mark Ronson still floating around looking cool too.Quote:

Seems like you can't get away with being casual unless you're a musician!
I feel a little bit sick every time I see David Gandy though. Fuck that guy for being pretty much Adonis :p
I must be honest, I nearly punched a baby when I saw Balotelli at number two and I can see the problem with it being a lot of men in suits; But, I would assume that they expect most men to look, or think of more outfits for each person; hopefully doing some more research.
I can sort of accept Tinie Tempah in the top spot, but there was a worrying moment in December when One Direction topped the list - does this signal a significant decline the the readership quality of such a magazine? (I must confess, I think I prefer Esquire anyway.)
Oh, it's not to say every single one of them are just faceless suits and Jarvis is a style icon in my opinion. I also think Richard Ayoade pulls off the suit with some individuality too.Quote:

And some of the entries just bemuse me completely. Jack Whitehall? Professor Brian Cox? Zac Goldsmith? IAN BROWN? If you left a monkey with a fancy dressing up box for half an hour it would end up better dressed than Ian Brown.
I like Mark Ronson! His quiff is great, his suits are fine so I don't really care how contrived it all is. And I actually like Record Collection, which some probably don't.
Faris has the whole tall and dark thing happening, which obviously not everybody can do. But I reckon he pulls it off.
I also agreed with nearly every name you listed last - except Ian Brown! But I guess they didn't call it "baggy" for nothing.
I also want to say that I'm mighty chuffed Alex Turner and Miles Kane got a look in and that if you disagree I'll cry my little eyes out :p
Personally think Alex and the band's new look is killer. Made me want to buy a Triumph and a leather jacket anyway.Quote:

Who do you think should have got the top spot?
(this goes for everyone by the way - I voted for the chaps from Thom Sweeney. . . .I'm not that much of a sycophant, honest.)
