Esquire UK's Choice

Photo: Andrew Aitchison

A surprisingly conventional choice perhaps but Esquire UK chose HRH Prince Charles as their best dressed man this year.

A conventional choice, but considerably more deserving than the fourth runner up, U.S. President Obama, would have been.

Even Princes can sometimes let standards slip though. Follow the link and look at the suit he's wearing in the center photo. It is perhaps the worst fitting thing I have ever seen him wear.

Good lord! That looks like a suit he's had since he was 15. You're right -- that's the worst I've ever seen him look; I would think that someone Photoshopped his head onto someone else's body, except that the style -- except the fit -- is unmistakably his.

Will,

Can you tell us specifically what about the fit you think is slipping?

I think it is just an unfortunate photo angle, rather than a poorly fitted suit. Could be wrong of course, but like you, Will, my expectations would be higher.

I agree, Will, though the photo may be making it look worse than it is. The only one I really care for is the one on the right, though I'm not sure I'm wild about the trousers with any of them.

Will said...

Curt, both buttons are pulling, both pockets are pulling (it's too tight at the hips), and the jacket sleeves are at least an inch too short. They are way above his wristbone.

Is the white one made of cotton or linen?I really like it!

Will...I think the answer may be twenty pounds...of extra weight. He looks heavier to me. Is A&S still making his clothes?

Will,

It looks like he's wearing a black tie.

Yes, he is. Satin no less.
