WennHarry Styles
Unlike any man who has ever been in a boyband in the entire history of pop music, Harry Styles works some serious threads on the red carpet. Channelling a slightly camp Rolling Stone, the One Direction star was the very epitome of ‘Urban Dandy’ when he attended the premiere of his new movie, One Direction: This Is Us in London, wearing a tapered, charcoal two-piece with this season’s must-have, a heart-print Burberry shirt.
Rex FeaturesNick Grimshaw
Sure, there’s a touch of ting, tang, walla-walla bing bang about the pastel blue suit and pink rinse, but Nick Grimshaw’s got a Dandy streak, and he’s not afraid to team it with a pair of Converse and a Hawaiian-print shirt.
Rex FeaturesBenedict Cumberbatch
Much like his famed on-screen turn as Sherlock, Benedict Cumberbatch is totally fearless, not just when fighting criminal geniuses (this definitely happens in real life), but also in his approach to his wardrobe. Oversized coats, monk-strapped brogues and tailored slacks: he’s a tartan shirt away from rocking ALL the trends this season.
Rex FeaturesTinie Tempah
Tinie Tempah = King of the Dandies. FACT. Seen here looking ravishing in tomato-red Paul Smith.
Rex FeaturesHarley Alexander-Sule
Harley Alexander-Sule is no slouch when it comes to fop style. Any man who has the guts to pair a military trench, combat boots and up-turned jeans with a wide-brimmed hat and not look like a total douche gets a thumbs up from us.
Rex FeaturesAndré 3000
Check. Out. That. Layering. André 3000 is a fop MACHINE. Tweed or no tweed.
Rex FeaturesPharrell Williams
It’s kind of hard to move at the moment without being spanked in the face by a guest appearance from perennial ambassador of good style, Pharrell, seen here looking fine and dandy in a dinner tux and smoking slippers. Casual.
Rex FeaturesHugo Taylor
Who knew the Dandy force was so strong in Hugo Taylor until he stepped out to the launch of his co-designed new eyewear range, Taylor Morris, in this dashing sea green/blue number?
Rex FeaturesRobert Sheehan
Let it be said: Misfit Robert Sheehan loves a print. Take this paisley ensemble he wore to The Mortal Instruments: City Of Bones premiere, which he foppishly teamed with a luminous-white pair of brogues for the ultimate Dandy finish.

It’s almost as if Miles Kane and Robert Sheehan are in some sort of ludicrous suit-off or something…
Getty ImagesAlex Turner
Yes, he’s watched Grease far more times than a bloke should probably admit, but Arctic Monkey Alex Turner’s Greaser look is all kinds of awesome. And definitely wins him a place in our Top Of The Fops chart.
Rex FeaturesLabrinth
THAT, Labrinth, is a well-ironed shirt and a great camel coat we can’t help but find ourselves coveting.
Getty ImagesJamie Hince
OK, Jamie Hince. Neck tie or no neck tie, it is CHEATING to accessorise any Dandy look with Kate Moss.
Rex FeaturesJamie Campbell Bower
New in is Jamie Campbell Bower, who gave even the most hardened of celebrity Dandies a run for their money in this gorgeously tailored Alexander McQueen suit, which he teamed with steel-capped brogues and a full face of make-up.
Rex FeaturesEddie Redmayne
Eddie Redmayne: a vision in a plaid Gucci two-piece at the GQ Awards 2013.
Rex FeaturesAdrien Brody
Everything about this man is suave. From the eyebrows to the white suit jacket and velvet slippers, Adrien Brody is a foppish tour de force.
Getty ImagesJoshua Jackson
This is the boyfriend of Diane Kruger we’re talking about. Of COURSE Pacey from Dawson’s Creek is stylish.
Rex FeaturesBruno Mars
No, seriously. There really aren’t many guys that can pull off a satin-sheen red suit with a plunging black shirt and not be mistaken for a strip club owner circa 1975. Top marks to Bruno Mars for being one that can.
Rex FeaturesRichard Ayoade
Nautical chic was the order of the day for funny man and serial crush-inducer Richard Ayoade.
