The Brit Awards: Men’s Fashion
16:18The Good, The Bad & The Average
On Monday evening we saw the best of British music all come together like one big happy Von Trapp family to celebrate the vastly enjoyed, Brit Awards. Whilst most people’s attention will have been firmly fixated on the performances, the award winners and Adele, I, like the fashion-obsessed soul that I am, was only really bothered about one thing; what will everyone be wearing?Needless to say, there were some huge hits on the red carpet, just as there were some near misses and some who missed the ball completely (*ahem* JLS).
Here’s my take on the menswear of the night…
The Average
Also, why weren’t his trousers hemmed at the right length? The less break, the longer your legs appear, it’s simple science. I know this might seem heavily critical and ever so slightly (okay, a lot) harsh, but for a pretty straightforward three-piece black suit, white shirt and tie combination, there’s really no excuse for such mistakes.
I actually really like this outfit from Mr Hudson [above right]. The metallics were a brave step away from the norm and I think he’s successfully managed to pull them off to some extent.
But the sunglasses? At night? Whilst being interviewed by Keith Lemon? Remember where you are please, pal.

The Bad
Example [above right]: This is what happens when (almost) rappers try to look like rappers, but instead end up looking like a certain movie characters from 1999.
So, from left to right…
- Doesn’t appear to be wearing anything under his leather jacket. Why?
- Is he wearing a tie with a hoodie? Why?
- Nice coat, but probably more suited to a skiing holiday than on a red carpet. Why?
- Appears to have stolen this outfit out of the ‘One Direction’ wardrobe. *sigh*.
The Good
Ray has done everything right for his frame here – except for maybe drawing attention to his stomach area with that pocket watch, but I’ll let that one slide, as I’d actually quite like to borrow it. Very sharp, Ray.
I do genuinely feel that Professor Green has huge potential as a future ‘style icon’; maybe this is the start of something wonderful?
The neckline of his tee is a bit deep for my liking; a slightly higher cut scoop neck or a button down white shirt would have done the tux a lot more justice. All-in-all though, love it.
Pat on the back to that man right there… or to his stylist at least.
