The best dressed men at every age

When it comes to fashion, these best dressed men get it right. Take a look to see the best dressed celebs by decade and what we can learn from their style.
Freelance // Freelance

20s - Robert Pattinson

Robert Pattinson Next Slide

“Robert Pattison embodies the true British gentleman.  We rarely see him in any prints or bold colors; he favors classic designers like Burberry and modern clean cuts from the likes of Lanvin.  Pattinson opts for elegant touches in simplistic designs, ensuring his looks never go out of style.” - Lindsi Lane, Fashion and lifestyle expert from LindsiInTheFastLane.com

Ed Westwick

Previous Slide Ed Westwick Next Slide

“Ed Westwick is a style icon because he knows how to be fashion forward and to push the envelope without going over the edge.  His real-life style is very different from the character he plays on TV. With his deep V-neck tees and skinny jeans, Westwick is always casually cool.  The everyday man needs to pull out his gold-rimmed aviator sunglasses and squeeze into his black skinny jeans for Westwick’s weekend style or put on his double-breasted blazer and bow tie to resemble his inner Chuck Bass.” - Jaimie Hilfiger, niece of fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger, is a model and fashion expert who is currently discussing her own reality TV show with leading networks.

Zac Efron

Previous Slide Zac Efron Next Slide

“Zac Efron is the perfect example of someone who dresses their age, and does it well.  Zac manages to keep it trendy by indulging in plaid prints and being a big fan of beanie hats. His well-built physique allows him to get away with wearing short sleeve V-neck t-shirts on a regular basis. We can't wait to see how his style evolves as he ages.” – Lindsi Lane, Fashion and lifestyle expert from LindsiInTheFastLane.com.

30s - Ryan Gosling

Previous Slide Ryan Gosling Next Slide

“Ryan Gosling is a style icon in the making as he consistently looks impeccable. Gosling favors classic, clean cuts over edgier designs.  He always looks flawless by sticking to classic silhouettes with a young and modern appeal.  Gosling shows men that in order to look young and hot you don't always need to opt for the edgy appeal - keeping it simple is often the key.” – Lindsi Lane, Fashion and lifestyle expert from LindsiInTheFastLane.com.

Neil Patrick Harris

Previous Slide Neil Patrick Harris Next Slide

“His fashionable suits in ‘How I Met Your Mother’ and his elegant formal attire for the different awards shows he has hosted show how a younger man can dress up without looking over the top. As a young man, you can still get dressed up without having to be showy or ostentatious.” – John Carroll of Beverly Hills fine menswear retail store, Carroll & Co.

Justin Timberlake

Previous Slide Justin Timberlake Next Slide

“Justin Timberlake is a massive style icon. His look is always evolving as he grows from his teen days in washed out denim to his solo-act in bespoke suits and sneaks. His youthful air is never juvenile. Men can take learn from the way he rocks dapper dress clothes but never looks stuffy. I love the way Timberlake pulls off a three-piece suit, but can always dance in it! Hang loose mother goose.” – Sarah Shirley, acclaimed fashion stylist, can be seen on The TODAY Show, The Early Show and VH1 discussing the latest styles and trends.

40s - Daniel Craig

Previous Slide Daniel Craig Next Slide

“Daniel Craig may have been casted for the role of James Bond solely because of his impeccable taste in suits.  We highly speculate that Craig has an on call tailor, who custom fits each of his designer threads.   The great thing about Daniel is that he perfectly executes the classy & sexy appeal in each of his outfits.  He's a big fan of ties, even incorporating them into his more "casual" looks, giving us the perfect balance of chic style and maturity.” – Lindsi Lane, Fashion and lifestyle expert from LindsiInTheFastLane.com.

Justin Theroux

Previous Slide Justin Theroux Next Slide

“When you think of Justin Theroux, you think motorcycle boots, leather jacket, and worn-in clothing.  Style Icon?  Absolutely.  Theroux is a style icon because everything he wears looks effortless, beat-up, and careless in the coolest way possible.  The everyday man could learn that sometimes trying too hard can be a bad thing and a waste of time.  Relax and take a page out of Justin Theroux’s book.” - Jaimie Hilfiger, niece of fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger, is a model and fashion expert.

Jay-Z

Previous Slide Jay-Z Next Slide

“As Jay-Z matures, evolves and gets richer, so does his style. He knows well enough to leave behind his roots of baggy jeans and jerseys and transcend style with custom made suits and shirts. Jay-Z does not go it alone, he has trusted style authorities to aid him with his look like legendary stylist, June Ambrose. Men can learn from him by enlisting in department and specialty stores free personal shopping services for help, because most men can't tell the difference between blue and black!” – Sarah Shirley, acclaimed fashion stylist, can be seen on The TODAY Show, The Early Show and VH1 discussing the latest styles and trends.

50s - Alec Baldwin

Previous Slide Alec Baldwin Next Slide

“Alec Baldwin exudes old Hollywood with his timeless sense of style. A classic, well-tailored wardrobe will always stand the test of time.” – Ashley Weston, celebrity menswear stylist signed who’s styled for GQ, InStyle, ELLE and Interview Magazine.

fashion: trends & must-haves for your wardrobe

  • Block heels

    Browse the season’s hottest trends to find your perfect pair from InStyle’s Ultimate Shoe Guide.

  • Aquabelle swimsuit

    Step away from the muu-muu. Whether your trouble spot is your stomach, hips, waist, or thighs, we've got you covered with the 10 best suits (out of 270 try-ons!) tested and photographed in our GHRI labs.

  • beach sandls

    Flat sandals for every occasion—because who needs heels?

    Unless you’re one of those people who doesn’t like your feet, you like sandals. (And if not, I’d like to know know why, because sandals are easy, comfy and ideal for showing off cool nail polish colors. I love them.) They’re great for every occasion—work, weekend, beach, parties—with only one catch: it’s hard to find a single pair that’s right for all of them.

  • Swimsuits for body type

    Your perfect suit finder

    Brave women of all body types did a mass try-on (we brought in over 1,000 swimsuits!) to find these flattering, flaw-erasing winners. Seriously—they're better than Photoshop. Browse, buy, and feel beautiful.

  • Beyonce

    You gotta get white jeans!

    White jeans are crisp, flattering, and summer's best unsung staple. And oh, would you look at that — we've found the perfect pair for your body. Here's how to wear them.

  • Sheath dress and strap heels

  • Fitted blazer

    9 pieces you need and can afford

    Trends come and go, but these new must-haves will last a lifetime. Style expert and author of The Wow Factor: Insider Style Secrets for Every Body and Budget Jacqui Stafford's picks are here not just to stay, but also to flatter.

  • Swimsuit for your body types

    The most flattering swimsuit for your body type

    Find your shape’s best buys.

  • Floral-appliqué triangle bikini

    The best swimsuit for your body type—yes, yours!

    When morning talk shows and local newspapers dole out their seasonal swimsuit shopping advice, I’m usually pretty disappointed by the lack of body types represented. What about the women who don’t resemble fruit? (Or aren’t boy-shaped—the third “one of these things is not like the other” category I’ve never quite understood. Couldn’t they say “banana?” Or is that somehow more offensive than “apple” and “pear” shapes?)

  • June Ambrose

    Shoe envy

    Step into spring with style in June Ambrose's new shoe line for HSN.
