"Drake has been keenly and consistently developing a unique look over the last few years, which combines grime-y terrace fashion inspired by Italian menswear brand Stone Island, with preppy American court-side sportswear," Conrad Quilty-Harper wrote. "If men can wear incongruous, colourful, even cosy clothes out and about without losing an iota of their masculinity, it’s mostly thanks to Drake." This praise is a far cry from how Drake's sartorial choices in videos like "No New Friends" made him the subject of memes.

Other stars on the list include Zayn Malik, A$AP Rocky, Skepta, Pharrell, and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who is more stylish than Riz MC but less so than Jaden Smith. Check out the whole thing here.
