Forgive me for being naive, but with their access to top fashion professionals and oversized wardrobes, I would have thought that male celebrities would generally scrub up well. Evidently it isn't fair to tar all with the same brush, as stars such as George Clooney, Johnny Depp and Shia Labeouf have completely nailed looking stylish, however, many of their counterparts are still out in the fashion wilderness.
Kanye West is a case in point, he takes the idea of 'out-there' fashion just that bit too far; one quirky accessory is good, an entire outfit that looks as though it's from another planet, is not. (Unless he is aiming to be the male version of Bjork?) Justin Bieber is also one who struggles with the accessories, forgetting that someone over the age of ten should generally not be seen in public in a baseball cap.
Another culprit for the fashion police has to be Russell Brand. Trousers that skinny really should not be seen on a man, particularly when paired with ruffled tops or vests and too much bare chest. Brand takes the 'New Romantic' look to extremes and, in contrast to the easy vest wearing style of Shia Labeouf, his tendency to expose his chest speaks only of self-vanity. Strangely, Brand's clothes are rather similar to the costumes of 'Captain Jack Sparrow,' which Johnny Depp carries off with such flair in Pirates of the Caribbean. However, Depp looks great because he is meant to look like a pirate, he's not adopting the costume as an everyday style!
Sadly, our male stars don't even have to be attempting anything radical in the style stakes to go badly wrong. It would be easier to overlook the occasional hash up if the man in question was going all out to try something new, but when even the rudiments of the male wardrobe are continually desecrated, then it is harder to forgive. Simon Cowell is a man who seriously needs to go back to basics and throw out those horrendous high-waisted trousers and stacked shoes. (He also needs to learn the benefits of a simple t-shirt, as the sweaty pullover look is not good.)
The young Tony Blair, before he reached a status where stylists and spin-doctors moved in, also demonstrated a worrying lack of fashion savvy. His out-sized glasses and grotesque ties resulted in unflattering comparisons with 'Brains,' the Thunderbirds puppet. In contrast, Barack Obama's path to the Whitehouse was a runway success; dressed in immaculate Hartmarx suits, he always looked the part of president-in-waiting.
