Stylish spy Daniel Craig, in a scene from Quantum of Solace, tops GQ’s list of best-dressed men again
Daniel Craig, (the bloke that plays the international man of mystery, James Bond) with his penchant for sharp suits by Tom Ford has again topped GQ’s Best Dressed Men list. While some have sniffily said it is easy to look snappy in a suit (sour grapes for sure), no one really grudges Craig the honour—we all know the man is hot in a tux, in scruffy jeans, in a little pair of swimming trunks or in nothing at all.
“It’s just that even the most average looking man can look his best in a suit,” says designer Sneha Bedi. But in a tropical country like India, do men here think its worth sweating it out in a suit?
Businessman Dhyanesh Somnath says: “Wearing a suit is not an everyday affair for most Indian men although the corporate sector in particular emphasizes on a formal dress code. Therefore, men don’t usually mind sweating it out once in a while.”
Depending upon how formal the gathering is, men decide whether it go the whole nine yards or if just a tie will do. “Usually, semi-formal office parties allow one to discard the blazer,” informs marketing executive Kamal Sundarajan.
On the trend of jazzing up evening wear by throwing a blazer over a pair of jeans and a tee, business management student Ezra Kanavalli says: “As cool as it looks, the attire does not suit everybody. There are only a few men who can carry off this look.”
The most popular colours for suits are black, navy blue and grey. Designers say that beige is not very popular anymore. Stylists observe that self-coloured striped jackets are a favourite among the younger generation, in particular.
Women of today, be it entrepreneurs or television anchors also don suits on an everyday basis. Shekar Dass, a software engineer feels that “when a man wears a suit, he looks in control. When you see a woman in a suit, you immediately assume she’s professional, responsible and a no-nonsense person.”
Professionals have stated their verdict. The others have thrown in their views. So if you think your wardrobe lacks one of those elegant suits, don’t hesitate to get yourself one while suits are still hot and happening.
