| MOST STYLISH MEN |
No disrespect to the Hall of
Famers—from Kanye to Clooney, Gosling to Pharrell—but this year we're feeling a
different, right-this-second strain of pro-level style. We speak of men who
look just as sharp on the street as they do on the red carpet. Who realize
that, in the camera-phone age, every little walk to the corner can turn into a
photo op. And who rarely bother with suits—but when they do, they really make
it count. So, with no further ado…
Lucky
Blue
Yes, it helps to have his genes. But
it also helps to have his jeans—and his leathers, and his tees. For Lucky,
personal style is rock 'n' roll simple.
While most fashion models toil as
anonymous walking coat hangers, boy wonder Lucky Blue Smith has become
insta-famous on Instagram for his innate style: Levi's jackets, mall-rat
hoodies, and platinum hair.
"I've never really looked at
myself and thought, 'Oh, I'm really good-looking.' When I look in the mirror, I
see a skinny punk 17-year-old who just wants to go skate and hang out with some
friends, and maybe talk to a couple of chicks." — Lucky Blue Smith
Eddie
Redmayne
Any Hollywood schmo can hire a
stylist to doll him up in a suit. Dressing casually is actually harder. Doing
it well requires a sixth sense—you might even call it a “fashion sense”—for how
to loop your belt and perch your glasses. Europeans are apparently born with
this gift, and Eddie here embodies it. The guy looks turned out even if he's
just running to get the paper.
Drake
For a certain type of rich guy,
luxury means comfort. It means clothes that fit loose, so as not to constrict
the swag. Clothes that look appropriate for watching, or even playing, sports.
Dressing this way is a power move. It says: I can get in anywhere without so
much as a collared shirt, because I am me. Drake plays this look to the
hilt. He likes it so much that he started his own line—OVO, full of cotton
tees, fleece sweatshirts, and sporty jackets—seemingly just so he'd have more
stuff to wear himself.
