It's Britain’s male fashion crime capital – where a THIRD of women say their blokes have no dress sense.

Leeds is out in front when it comes to our scruffiest men, says a shopping poll.

Research found one in five of women in the Tyke city said their lads looked “ridiculous”. And half had given up trying to smarten them up.

Not far behind them in the league table of unloveliness is Birmingham where 26 per cent of women branded their fellas a mess.

Cardiff was third and Nottingham came out best dressed with only 11% of women unhappy at their clobber.

Of the 2,000 women quizzed nationwide, three in 10 had refused to leave home with a partner unless he got changed.

Trainers, baseball caps and baggy jeans were blokes’ biggest blunders. Around 18 per cent moaned their other half dressed like an old man and 12 per cent said he only bought clothes in sales.

Nearly all the women had confronted their scruffy men – half being bitterly offended while the rest just didn’t care. VoucherCodes’ Anita Naik said: “It seems clothing choices can cause a real rift in relationships.”

* Women who answered yes to the question: "Does your partner dress badly?"

"Our style is unique"

Fellas in Leeds have a “unique and edgy” sense of fashion, reckons data journalist Thierry Ngutegure.

Thierry, 26, explained: “People create their own style because of the edgy nature of fashion in the city.

“Women might think we’re badly dressed – but our style is just unique.”

Market executive Jamie Crane, 22, added: “I think men in Leeds do take pride. It says a lot about who you are.

“I have a smart casual dress sense – button-up shirts and plain jeans. I’d like to think my girlfriend likes it.”

Student Emma Burchell, 19, says she loves how her boyfriend dresses.

She said: “He wears nice shoes, which is a good indication of fashion sense. Most men in Leeds have good fashion sense, especially with the art college.”

But writer Charly Bowen, 26, frowned: “They wear cool brands but all look the same. There are clothes my boyfriend wears I’m not keen on.”

Waitress Sara Romero, 32, who moved from Spain with boyfriend Tomas Bersier, 31, a year ago, said: “Tomas’s style is classic and understated.

“Others here have more ‘interesting’ fashion sense… I don’t think I’d like it if Tomas dressed so quirky.”

And student Amy Hughes, 22, defended boyfriend Andy Holden, 21, admitting: “He always looks smart. If anything, I steal his clothes.”
