It’s the third week of December, and the trees are lit, the stockings are hung, and your one coworker got absolutely obliterated again at the office holiday party. Which means there’s only one thing left to do before clocking out for the festive season: Vote in our annual bracket to determine the year’s best-dressed man. And for 2024, we’re giving this most prestigious of tournaments a fresh new name. Welcome, one and all, to the GQ Style Championships.
First up, a quick note on the field: Veritable style gods Paul Mescal, Timothée Chalamet, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander weren’t eligible for this year’s tourney, because the former was awarded the Most Stylish Person title in our 2024 Men of the Year issue, and the latter two won this very competition in 2023 and 2022, respectively. (For fairness’s sake, we’ve implemented a two-year moratorium for past winners.)
Even without that scintillating trio, however, we’ve assembled one of our starriest, swaggiest, most competitive brackets ever. The 16 men we’ve selected range from Hollywood legends and all-star athletes to rising heartthrobs and hall-of-fame musicians, but they all share an undeniable knack for dressing outrageously well on red carpets, grocery runs, date nights at Giorgio Baldi, and beyond.
Read on to familiarize yourself with the entrants—and then help decide who should be crowned the 2024 GQ Style Champion. Voting begins today at noon, Eastern time, on GQ‘s Instagram story. The first round will run for 24 hours, and then we’ll repeat that cycle over the next three days before announcing the winner on Friday, December 20. Hop on over to our IG to place your votes now, and check back in here every day to find out who prevailed and who’s been knocked out. May the most stylish man win.
