Of course there is always next year, but I would imagine that the competition is going to be even fiercer in 2021. The GQ list is finite and judgemental and if you’re a boldface man and you’re not on it, then shame on you.
And while we have been fairly prescriptive in making this list, we have taken the soundings of those experts we hold dear and whose opinion on these matters we find compelling. Which makes the GQ Best-Dressed list – the only one of its kind anywhere in the world – more important, more relevant and more pertinent than ever before. Men don’t hide themselves under bushels any more, and while it would be unfair to say we now live in a world of peacocks, men these days dress to be noticed. Not only do men tend to be better dressed now than ever before, but more and more of them – you, actually – are prone to dressing up in public. Being a Best-Dressed Man in 2020 means more than it did five years ago – a hell of a lot more.
