Prince Charles Nabs Best Dressed Honors

Filed under: Men, Celebrities with Style

We can honestly say we didn't see this one coming. Prince Charles -- devotee of double-breasted suits and pressed shirts, has been named the best dressed man in the world by Esquire's UK edition. While the 60-year-old might not have been our pick, we see where they're coming from -- he's always dressed very sharply and appropriately, and, according to Esquire's editor-in-chief, Jeremy Langmead, "It's the men who dress like grown-ups who really caught the judges' eyes." Even with that being the case, we're still a bit surprised at some of their top picks. Check them out below!

Best Dressed Men

    HRH Prince Charles

    Yes, his clothes are completely predictable, but considering his royal position and how many public appearances the man makes, we definitely understand why he doesn't want to take many sartorial risks. As we said, he wouldn't top our list, but we certainly respect his style.

    Ronnie Corbett

    If you're not British, you're likely wondering who this tiny man is and why he nabbed Esquire's Number Two spot. He might be short of stature, but the 78 year old is tall on humor. And apparently, big on style, particularly argyle -- who knew?

    Getty

    Barack Obama

    Well, this is certainly a name we all know, and we've been hearing plenty about his wife's sense of style, but Barack? He always looks just fine, but we don't know that he's the fourth best-dressed man in the world. Perhaps power and personality have a good bit of influence.

    Roger Federer

    The tennis hottie looks good in more than just his tennis whites, and Esquire is rewarding him -- he nabbed the Number Eight spot this year.

    Andre 3000

    The former Outkast rapper rounded out Esquire's Top Ten, and we're thrilled, but a little confused. He definitely doesn't dress like most of the other men on the list -- we adore his style, but it's far funkier than, say, Prince Charles' or President Obama's. He was a nominee for GQ's Best New Designer this year for his Benjamin Bixby line, so we're expecting far more Best Dressed lists for this man.

    Tom Brady

    This super-casual, totally All-American football player took Esquire's Best Dressed honor last year. But, of course he dresses well -- he's always accessorizing with Gisele Bundchen!

    Justin Timberlake

    Nobody's going to doubt the style selections of famous face behind the William Rast line, and this year, GQ named him their Best Dressed Male. And it doesn't hurt that he looks awfully cute in pretty much anything!

    Getty

    David Beckham

    Posh and Becks are like a style super-couple, and we can't look away. Neither can Vanity Fair -- the mag gave the Best Dressed title to David in 2008.

The Dreaded Drop Crotch for Men - Yea or Nay?

Filed under: Runway Trends, Jeans, Men

Corpus grey drop crotch sweatpantsWhile we're not really sure that we'd be doing old-school sheik culture justice by referring to these top-heavy sweatpants as "harem-inspired," the drop crotch look for men is being adopted, or at the very least, pretending to be. According to the rumor mill, Corpus' now infamous drop crotch pants have sold out a few times over at OAK. Even though we're not seeing them with any regularity outside of fashion blogs, chatter about these extremely comfortable looking, yet unflattering pants has been mighty persistent over the past year.

More Men Are Getting 'Moob' Jobs

Filed under: Men

The male obsession with the, ahem, chest area is well documented -- but we always assumed that that obsession was focused on the chest area of the female (at least for straight males) and that they didn't give much thought to their own chests. How wrong we were! Turns out men are looking in the mirror, not liking what they see, and doing something about it, according to data from the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons.

The number of male breast reduction surgeries in 2008 increased by 44 per cent from 2007, and frankly, we don't know what to make of this trend. Is the increase in plastic surgery due to a parallel increase in male vanity? Have the metrosexuals of old given up on expensive creams and decided to go under the knife instead? Or are men indulging in too much food and too little exercise?

Crazy on the Catwalk - Will Guys Wear This Stuff?

Filed under: Runway Trends, Men

The Good, the Bad, and the Weird ... Fashion Week is always filled to the brim with outlandish styles from designers hoping to inspire the latest craze, or at least grab their share of the spotlight. Here we have a few of the more -- um, how should we say this -- eccentric looks from Milan and Paris.

Runway Rejects - Guys: Would You Wear This?

    McQueen's Crotch Protector
    From the white makeup, to the the fur-lined jacket with the billowy sleeves, and on down to the mantyhose -- there's not much here that we can apply to ready to wear street style, except perhaps the subtle codpiece. If you're going to wear a codpiece these days, it better be subtle. Very subtle.

    Emporio Armani's Fur Bearing Mammal
    First off, blue fur? Really? Wearing a full length fur coat along with wrap-around sunglasses puts you in an elite class with only one other member: Kid Rock. If you're comfortable with that, by all means go for it. Not to mention, if that is authentic fur from the endangered blue yak, PETA's not going to be happy.

    McQueen's Goth Gladiator
    While Gladiator was a very inspiring movie, and lots of celebs are sporting bulletproof clothing these days, is this Roman-esque body armor a fashion statement that the average man is ready to make.

    Prada's Space Travler
    The one good thing we can say about this look is that it seems very comfortable. The monotone look always makes us think of b-movies about space travel. In other words, we liked this look better when when it was featured in the sci-fi cult classic Logan's Run.

    Emporio Armani's Man Shawl
    The man shawl may be a bit unusual, but we think it definitely find it to be one of the better looking weird designs. One part cape, one part jacket, the man shawl is kinda cool. But would you ever wear it in public? We tried shortening the name, but mshawl is awkward to pronounce.

    Prada's Stud Muffin
    Look, we love punky studded jewelry as much as the next guy, but there's really no excuse for ever wearing that many metal rivets outside of a Sex Pistols tribute concert, is there? Plus, what's up with that headband? Doesn't it deserve to be covered with metal spikes too?

    Etro's Cape Crusade
    This look isn't crazy bad. In fact, the combination kinda resembles a young Mick Jagger. Here's the question: if you wear a cape and you are not a.) a superhero, or b.) an opera singer, are you c.) a douche?

    McQueen's Blankethead
    There's something about this look that we really like -- and then something we don't. On the plus side, this somehow reminds us of late 60's spagetti western Clint Eastwood. Then, there's the fact that he's wearing a blanket over his head, but under his hat. That looks like something William Rast would come up with.
