Let's see your top three (albeit in no particular order) -

1. JFK
2. Redford
3. Newman

I must say I think Ryan Gosling is really carrying a torch for the young guys these days. He knows how to dress whether he is hungover or on the red carpet.

Pity he doesn't know how to shave. All these scruffs with face fungus should be automatically disqualified. Bogart? Clooney? Niven? Cary Grant became a citizen so does he qualify?

He gets my vote. I'm surprised no one voted for him. We all know the bigger your tie knot is, the better dressed you are.

Good question but I feel influenced by the character the actor played, such as, most of the Bond actors. However, McQueen just stands out as creating a coolness in most things he wore. I think this is tough to answer because we span a lot of time and style has changed. It might be tough to chose someone that was prominent during the 70s as things seemed pretty crazy with some big sideburns, maybe an afro and wild suit choices. I also think we are influenced by good looks. Some people just look good in a suit, I imagine The Rock is tough to fit as opposed to Brad Pitt or Clooney. I guess I'll wait to see who others chose in case I forget someone.
