Yesterday, I created a list of the top five best dressed ladies in 2008. As a follow up to that post, I have also comprised a similar list for guys.
Depending on your interests, hobbies, favorite music and lifestyle, you may or may not agree with me. My list includes a quintessential (history making) gentleman, a sneaker head, a fashion designer, an athlete and a downtown cat located in New York. There is nothing sexier then a guy with great style.
Barack Obama
Mr. President elect made history last month after winning the popular and Electoral College votes. Barack is always dressed to the occasion in slacks and a button down. For major public speaking events, he wears tailored suits. No matter what walk of life you come from, a suit exemplifies power, prestige and business. Every guy should have a power suit and in Barack’s case, there will be an abundance of tailored suits lined up for him in the White House.
Kanye West
Kanye is second on my list based on his appearance on the red carpet, in concert and at fashion events. He may be the only straight guy to rock pink and carry a Louis Vuitton monogramoflauge bag and get away with it. Rumor on the streets is saying that Mr. West is going to take a hiatus from his music career to focus on fashion and intern at a European fashion house. This will certainly benefit Kanye’s Pastelle clothing line, which is slated to release in 2009.
Dao-Yi Chow
The Brooklyn native left Sean John to start his own line, Public School. Since then, Dao-Yi has been featured in GQ, Complex and NY Mag offering fashion advice to guys. His style is a contemporary twist into NYC street fashion. His inspirations from the urban lifestyle and modern fashion has created a buzz around the Fashion industry for Public School designs.
David Beckham
Being married to Posh must have its benefits because David Beckham’s choice of suits during public appearances is excellent. It’s certainly nice to see more than just the usual t-shirt, jeans and sneakers on a guy.
Oscar
You may not be familiar with Oscar or the themed 1992 parties located in New York. As I realized that the four men above are not an average Joe, I wanted to include a guy with real street swag. Oscar’s style is fresh. The 1992 parties thrown by Va$htie and Oscar are a hit among the kids in the big apple. Seeing his pictures brings me back to the days of Kid ‘N Play, Zach Morris’ phone and great music from the ’90s.
Who do you have on your list?
