GQ's Worst Dressed Men in the World

First of all, can I say what an absolute pleasure it is to see such negativity coming from a mainstream publication?! The style mags are usually the number one culprits where hyping up ridiculous looks is concerned, shamelessly promoting whatever fad the latest flash in the pan E-list celebrity is promoting in the hope it will get them an exclusive interview yet here we see the unashamed slagging off of public figures whose sense of style is utterly wretched. Long may this continue!

 GQ Worst Dressed Men in the World

My observations are as follows:

10. Ollie Locke

I have absolutely no idea who this person is. He does, however, bear a passing resemblance to Lorenzo Lamas (star of 90s TV series Renegade) and if I were pushed to guess I would say he was a gay porn star.

9. Jamie Oliver

To be fair to him, his wardrobe is probably struggling to keep up with his weight gain.

8. Douglas Alexander

Don’t know who this is either but, in all fairness to him, who expects politicians to be stylish?

7. An Orange Man off the Only Way is Essex

Read the description for number 8 but replace ‘politicians’ with ‘people from Essex’. Did you know it’s a legal requirement for all women in Essex to own at least three leopard print garments? The police actually have the right to enter your house without a warrant if they suspect you don’t.

6. A Man from Mumford and Sons

GQ says it’s inappropriate for a public schoolboy to appropriate the look of America’s Deep South but I think those two groups have more in common than people realise. Insular communities with strange rituals that are a mystery to outsiders? Check. Strangely elongated vowels? Check. Incest and inbreeding? All present and correct.

5. A Man from Abercrombie and Fitch

Think I’ll skip this one as I don’t know who’s who in the photo.

4. Mr Dappy

This is the guy who played Gollum in Lord of the Rings, I assume? Well, they’ve done well to get him wearing any sort of clothes.

3. Robbie Savage

The Lidl version of David Beckham? I certainly didn’t say that. Okay, I certainly did just say that.

2. Steve Hilton

A man from politics, apparently. Still, there’s probably little point trying to dress stylishly when you look like Uncle Fester from the Addams Family.

1. Chris Brown

Crikey. Baggy clothes, sportswear and more than one bow tie. Simple maths would suggest if you get it wrong so many times you must eventually get it right. But in his case that seems not to be the case.
