Read and weep - http://www.gq.com/how-to/fashion/200709 ... ow#slide=1. And then feel better about yourself knowing that you have more style than most of that list, dominated by uncouth pop stars, actors and sportsmen.

I couldn't be bothered even to smile and certainly didn't see the slide show all the way through but I hope that they didn't miss out P Diddy and Eminem.

Aside from the grimace-worthy writing that accompanied each slide, what did you find wrong with that list? I m curious to know.

Agnelli, Alain Delon, Givenchy, Yves St Laurent, Mastroianni, Cary Grant, Sean Connery - they're all on it. All have received kudos at some point of time or another from members here. And the others, value judgements on the intrinsic 'worth' of their style notwithstanding, most certainly did succeed in cultivating immensely unique personal styles.

That said, I certainly hope that your criticism does not hinge on the predication that the aforementioned vocations 'should not' be on the list.
