It looks like Esquire finally got one of their best-dressed contests right. Although the Prince's style is very conservative and there are certainly many well-dressed celebrities in the public eye, the choice is a good one: http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20090305...nroyalsfashion Edit: I don't understand why Barack Obama is even mentioned in the article. His style is decent, but not outstanding.

I don't mind that choice. I've been fond of his wardrobe for years.
Too bad about the arm candy, though.

I think they have his tailor wrong.

But, yes, I agree, he almost always looks great.

What's everyone's view on the hand in the suit jacket pocket though? He is constantly photographed like that....

Prime Minister Gordon Brown, however, was named one of the worst dressed, with the magazine noting he had once "turned up in the Iraqi desert wearing black lace-ups".
I think that would be a plus if Styleforum was making the decisions, providing the lace-ups were by Vass, EG or Lobb

(Though in reality they are unlikely to have been any of the above)

barack obama in casual wear is absolutely horrid, for those reasons alone how could he even be mentioned?

Is he wearing a silk knit in the picture accompanying the story?

I thought his tailor was Turnbull & Asser? Anyhow, they spelt Savile wrong.

Plus, when you are a prince, you can do this sort of thing.
