They say style is a young man’s game. Actually, that’s not true. We don’t know if that’s really a saying or not, but though your run-of-the-mill, dead-behind-the-eyes male models tend to rarely be old enough to rent a car (twenty-five is the minimum age in most states,) true style acumen belongs to the more mature man. This is because true style is something that cannot be done by a man in his younger years, as he doesn’t know himself and the man he is to become later in life. And while we are constantly learning, growing, and experiencing newer things, it’s fair to say that once we hit our thirties, we at least have an idea of what we like and what looks good on us,

Our big brothers at GQ and Esquire have release their perennial “best dressed” lists of the year, and we of course are following suit. Our list has some overlap with theirs, yes, but Timothee Chalamet is barely old enough to buy his own drinks and therefore can’t be believed to dress himself as well as, say, a David Beckham.

So to add to the year’s litany of “top ten” and “best of” lists, we submit for no one’s approval but our own the best dressed men over thirty of the year not named Gandy. Enjoy.

Henry Golding

The BBC host had an absolute breakout year with Crazy Rich Asians and A Simple Favor. That’s good news for us, since we now have a new style icon to admire. Hope to see more of his looks in the coming years.

LeBron James

We’ve forgiven you for bringing the suit shorts to the world. Just don’t hurt us again, King., and keep building that G.O.A.T.-like legacy.

Idris Elba

Idris Elba has had a pretty good year: He was named “Sexiest Man Alive” by PEOPLE, and that alone is something we could coast on for years without needing another compliment. We’ve been singing his praises for years, and yes, of course we’ve made the case that he should play James Bond, obviously.

HRH Prince Harry

Sorry, ladies…he’s married. But he’ll always be the more stylish of the two heirs to the throne, even if he is “The Spare.”

Michael B. Jordan

Another guy who’s closing out 2018 with an impressive peg to hang his hat on: Black Panther. The Creed sequel. A GQ cover. The man is clearly on the path to a great career and, clearly, on his way to be a great style icon,

Rami Malek

Yes…because he played Freddie Mercury. Next question.

Jonah Hill

To sat he’s come a long way would we an understatement, and in Jonah Hill’s quest to be fit, he’s also fund the motivation to up his style. We’re happy to see that, because the guy’s got talent, and he deserves more than to play second comedic banana in a movie with dick jokes. After all, he’s a twice-Oscar nominated second comedic banana, and we see him finally getting one within the next ten years.

Ryan Gosling

While we find the man a bit of a self-indulgent douche, he knows how to dress, and that’s what earns you a spot on our list. We just wish he would stop doing that fake tough-guy accent. YOU’RE CANADIAN, FOR CHRISSAKES!!

Chadwick Bozeman

Again…Panther, Black. Watch it. Also…did you know he was 41?!

Bradley Cooper

An entry in our WHTAIBIT (“We hate to admit it, but it’s true,”) category, Coop is really putting together an enviable style catalogue. While we may be of the opinion that his “A Star Is Born” remake is contrived Oscar bait, we have to give it up to the guy.

Donald Glover

You can’t play Lando Calrissian in a movie and not have a good year. It also doesn’t hurt to be nominated for a Grammy, even if they rarely get those right. But even though Glover played a character originally made famous by Mr. Smooth himself, Billy Dee Williams, it seems as though Childish Gambino has been auditioning for the role of the Cloud City administrator for years, at least in the style department.

Ryan Reynolds

Reynolds, for us, is at the status of fashionable we like to call “NNG,” or “never not good.” The man is also aging incredibly well and is a beacon of hope for up former smart asses looking to mature into the chic, wise, yet sardonic older guy. Which brings us to our last entry on the list…

Jeff Goldblum

Is there anyone besides Rob Lowe who is aging better that The Fly? We swear that this guy gets more handsome, stylish and cool every damn day, and we secretly hate him for it (while secretly admiring the hell out of him. )
