Esquire magazine just released its list for the Best Dressed Men in the World for 2007. The list was narrowed down to 23 men who can dress their asses off, according to them.
Our main man Jay-Z got the #2 spot. U.S. senator and presidential candidate, Barack Obama wasn’t far behind with spot #4, Miami Heat basketball player, Dwyane Wade got the #14 spot on the list and Tony Parker (another bball player) rounded it off at #23. Wait, no Kanye? You know he gonna say something about this. CLICK HERE TO READ THE FULL LIST.

@3 Common is no longer an underdog, he hit the #1 spot on the billboards. Imma post it in the round up later on today.
I like Obama’s swagger out of the three pics, but Dwyane is looking fine in the yellow (that’s why I posted it. lol). Jay-Z is fly too.

You people are crazy if you say Wade and Jay beat Barack. There is nothing better then a man in a fine tailored suit. Not baggy pants but fit to shine and show his incrediable prescence. Pimp suits, shoes, and hats are not classy.

Can’t believe they have Tom Brady as #1. I hate the Patriots!
Go Steelers! LOL
I think there are lots more men that should’ve been on that list before Jay-Z and Barach.

Okay it was a white list, that is why Jay-Z is above Barack. The ucked thing is that they placed Tom Brady as number one can we say a loud WTF? Are they looking at their overall dress because I seen Brady out and about and its not pleasant. Come on, who doesn’t Essence re-do this list and do not just say someone dresses nice because they are popular look at how they actually dress and not just on a red carpet.

this list is kinda dumb. I’m sorry I love me some tom brady but let’s be all the way real. kanye should be on there because he takes fashion risk and is a trendsetter. just look around DC. these youngins used to never adhere to hollywierd and now everyone wanna dress like a white boy. why isn’t david beckham on the list? or any africans or asians. I don’t know the list just seemed kinda rigged and pointless. EQ, you gotta do better. but…… Senator Obama can not stop gettin publicity. him and his wife are everywhere. love it!

Kanye ain’t FLY; he’s GAY and that’s why he didn’t make the list. Buying out the Louis store don’t make you HOT!

All of them look very dapper, there’s nothing like a well-dressed black professional man….D-Wade is so freakin fine…..he got my #1 spot

Tony Parker is on that list is because who’s he is married to, being married to Eva Langoria is reason why he’s on there, cause Tony Parker sometimes is unshaved and don’t even try to dress nice….

Ok no diddy, no Kanye, and Tom Brady is #1 WTF? I know it was the best dressed from around the world but damn they could have but somebody else in the mix. Angel we need our own list but I’m sure you have enough to do.

This list is garbage. Cuz, Wayne Brady is not that fly and I certainly think Michael Jordan is still a VERY well dressed man and as much as I hate to admit it because he’s been irking me so much lately, Diddy should have been in the running as well.

People are just not knowing. Jay-Z is sexy, straight up and he really does take pride in his appearance. It’s his intelligence, business savvy and his entire swagger.

iight ima dude and i always respect other dudes who i think have great style.
my honest opinion is tom brady really shouldnt have been #1, dude wears clothes, he doesnt “rock” clothes. he has no style/swagger.
kanye, common, and pharrell SHOULD HAVE MADE THE LIST
the top 2 guys who i take my style from are solely JAY-Z and DAVID BECKHAM so one of those 2 should’ve been the #1 and #2.
we all know hov rocks impeccable clothes and has dat swagger w/ it, which makes it that much better but so does beckham. i mean for a british white dude, he’s got impeccable taste. plus im huge fans of both so those are the guys i pattern my style after. the ladies luv the grown man look

D’Wayne looks as if he smells good. Jay Z looks like a well dressed monkey. And why is Barack on here…but I am sure when he gets suited up…he’s bad

@23:
I’m not sure if u meant D Wayde or Tom Brady, cuz Wayne Brady (the actor/comedian) is certainly not list worthy here.
Jay knows how to dress, which is good cuz he’s not much to look at in the face department, but after that interview with Angie Martinez posted a few days ago, I see that Beyonce sees something in his personality and wit.
I don’t see how David Beckham, Kanye West, Diddy, Pharrell, Andre 3000 or Common aren’t all on the list.
My vote goes to D Wayde, cuz that outfit is killing it, “so fresh and so clean-ly” lol

I love Barack! Aww, so glad he made the list.
Kayne can kick rocks. He needs to shut his piehole since nobody cant tell him nothing.

You Know Kayne is gonna go bananas when he reads this, he’s probably in the process of having the list done over, lol!! I never seen Tony Parker dress, so I can’t speak on that, but I wouldn’t except for him to be on the list neither Dwayne Wade, but hey whatever.

I love the way Jigga dresses both casually and when he’s dressed up. Check out some of his old videos when he wore obvious jewelry and Yankee fitteds. He’s stepped the game up as befits his maturity, but he still can rock a cute casual look. So I fuck with him all day on that. As far as Dwayne Wade, think about the fact that he’s 6′9 or so but still puts together a nice look again, he’s nice when he’s casual and dressy and he’s hella cute. They should have added Kobe to the list though because Kobe does take some fashion risks and looks good.
Tom Brady I’ve seen on the street with model girlfriend of the moment and it’s not that hot. David Beckham should have definitely been ahead of him. George Clooney, too, if we’re going with white guys. Will Smith, c’mon he brings it too.
Barack is cool, but it’s all suits. Let’s see what his casual game looks like before we can decide. He does wear the suits well, though.

Borack WILL have my vote,but thats not what this is about. JayZ is fresh when he wannabe. But hands down my bookie DWYANE WADE has it and nothin bout him Or any1 else look Pimpish only STYLISH. Bout time black men go beyond white tees and the jail look. GO WADE keep lookin’ sexy and representin chocolate men!

Jay doesn’t dress stylish often. I’m surprise he’s on the list, he most have power in the industry then I thought. Barack dress simple-conservative… nothing amazing.
Kanye, diddy, T.I,and Pharrel should have been on that list.

Wade is definitely lookin sexy in the yellow.
Jay look fly as well.
Barack is the only presidential canidate that people find handsome or remotely stylish.
The list is fill with people I don’t know except for like five people so the list ain’t that important to me.

I think that Dwayne wade should have been a little higher on the list. I also think…no I believe that Lebron should have been on the top 10 atleast if he wasn’t on there because that man can dress his ass off!

I like Obama, but usually politicians don’t make these lists. They can’t afford to stray too far from the conservative. I was floored that his wife made the best dressed female list. I think someone just got paid off for publicity’s sake or it was political because we can name quite a few that have outshone them this year.

Barack’s look is highly appropriate for what he’s doing. No time to be flashy when you’re running for president! I choose Barack, with Jay close behind. I’m honestly not big on Dwayne’s outfit.
