Justin Timberlake


Who: Justin Timberlake
No girl can go through life without having a JT phase. Whether you loved him from the start in the good ol’ days of N’Sync, discovered him in his solo career or fell in love with his acting, this one’s a man for the ages. 
What: Ah, Justin. What can we say. Now that we’ve gone past the fashion dilemmas of the 90s, everything this guy throws on seems to be next to perfect- crisp and clean without seeming to have tried hard. At all. The secret, we thinks, is dressing in patterns of 3’s. Consider:
Exhibit A
Your classic working man attire,Timberlake style with a basic white collared shirt, v-neck sweater and tie, finsihed with a leather jacket and hat.

Exhibit B 
Personal favourite- Semi Casual. Observe the sport coat over a v-neck sweater over   a t-shirt, and finally paired with jeans. An appropriate choice for any occasion, with the scarf, glasses and hat adding that extra touch of San Francisco flair and European trends.

Exhibit C

As if you haven’t already gotten the big 3 hint, already, lets end with a wide striped collared shirt with a checkered tie, a grey-blue leather jacket with grey jeans and finally, he tones it all down with brown work boots. A great daytime look, yet also works for that nice evening out with friends.
Getting that bubbly, men-who-dress-well-are-so-sexy feeling inside? Check out Justin’s fashion line William Rast. where he teams up with pal Trace Ayala to join fashion houses like RodarteJean Paul GaultierProenza Schouler andZac Posen to bring more affordable labels to the masses.

Matt Bomer




Who: Matt Bomer
Aptly known for his role as the suave and sexy Neal Caffrey on USA Network’s White Collar, and frequent style setter on Who What Wear
What: We love a guy who can look a billion bucks and look like he hasn’t put in any effort at all. Whether you’re heading out to run errands, or like Matt, headed to somewhere just that bit more special, tan leather jackets give you not only that flair and sophistication but take practically no time in sliding on. Pair with an open neck shirt and faded jeans and you’ve got yourself one versatile ensemble.

Mischa Barton




Who: Mischa Barton
Most famous for her role as Marissa on The OC, but you’ve probably seen her face in the odd movie, or as a guest star on other TV shows.
What: Ah, the blazer- a garment of choice here at WhoWhatWear. Like Ralph Lauren’s ‘Goodman’ that has been seen on many women of the fashion world (including the gorgeous Blake Lively), this one is yet another feminine version of the menswear staple. Mischa’s style however, opts for more adventurous approach, with multi-layers of patterned silk scarves diminishing the boring vectors of her otherwise simple concoction of an outfit. A nice path to tread if you’re feeling particularly sassy and wanna spice things up, and of course it doesn’t hurt to use this method to throw in some splashes of colour to any outfit. 

Stuart Holden




Who: Stuart Holden
 Scottish-born American footballer currently playing for the Bolton Wanderers. You may also remember his face from the recent World Cup, proudly representing the USA.
What:  Fashion can be a bit of a selfish dilemma. You wouldn’t want someone else to buy that pair of heels that you desperately crave because 1. You just want it, and 2. They make your legs look like they go for a million miles. Moral of the story: People wear things that accentuate the best parts of their body. No idea if Stu did this consciously or not, but dayum, those shoulders! Proving that basics really do go a long way, he sports the perfect summer look for guys with his combination of a loose, neutral  tee and checked shorts/8ths. Throw in some arm accessories, a chain that compliments that v-neck, and boom.

Usher




Who: Usher
Undeniably one of the biggest stars to hit the music scene, this Grammy-award winning superstar has definitely made his mark on the world of hip-hop and RnB. From the days of his burning confessions to this year’s OMG, he’s one of those artists whose tunes everybody finds themselves dancing to at least once in their lives.
What: Usher has no doubt brought a whole new level of style to the world with his, as PEOPLE style director Susan Kaufman likes to call it, “bling outfits”. Definitely a man in favour of suits, most people remember him for making the most of his ensembles by accessorizing with a debonair pocket square or those omni-present sunglasses. Casual Usher is something to be treasured, and this is no exception. The sleekness of a fedora and vest over simple flannel and denim is definitely something we cannot argue against, and definitely cements his status as one of Hollywood’s most stylish men.

Alex Gerrard




Who: Alex Gerrard
WAG; noun- a term used to refer to female companions of football players i.e. Wives And Girlfriends. Alex Gerrard- wife to Liverpool Captain Steven Gerrard, fashion columnist for the UK’s Daily Mirror- dubbed uber-WAG byTime
What: Granted, Alex may not be a humongous star in the traditional media fashion galaxy, but here we give credit to the Brits. Alex sports the perfect summer outfit- chic sophistication courtesy of a Twenty8Twelve playsuit, Lanvinsandals, House of Harlow 1960 necklace and a Hermes Birkin bag. You know what they say, if you can’t live like a WAG, at least you can laboriously peruse the fashion of the WAGs

Tom Brady




Who: Tom Brady
 Meet Thomas Edward Brady, Jr. Quarterback for the New England Patriots, husband to Gisele Bundchen, and pretty darn close to number #1 on my list of most stylish.
What: Quarterbacks usually find plenty of attention for their personal style and quite honestly, it bores us half the time…but not this guy. With pretty much a second second career in fashion, this man dares to mix traditional American blue-blazer looks with European minimalism. Put simply, converging elements- like this one! Consider the contemporary blazer over a sweatshirt, finished off with a checked/flannel scarf, and there you have classic athleticism fused with European flavours, made possible by the slightly conservative yet go-anywhere appeal of the blazer.
