The Sexy Man Style Checklist

A cool clip like Michael B. Jordan’s is an easy way to say “I care about my style” without spending a fortune.

A true sexy man like Luke Bryan has a huge assortment of baseball caps broken in just-so. That way, if his lady “borrows” his favorite, he can move on to the next one.

David Beckham makes being People’s Sexiest Man Alive look effortless, but you don’t get hair and facial hair like that without a little help from pomade, gel, beard oil, a great beard trimmer, a terrific moisturizer – and a fancy leather Dopp kit to keep all the primping products out of sight.

Much like a cheerleading uniform on a girl, there’s just something about a guy playing sports that brings one back to those heady days of high school romance. Thus, every sexy man needs to be equipped with the sporting goods of his choice (like Jon Hamm’s baseball mitt here). The one possible exception: A water polo helmet.

Idris Elba could wear a pink fur vest and make it look sexy. But we’re glad he’s devoted himself instead to a peacoat that makes his shoulders look broad, his waist slim and which frames that gorgeous face.

Sorry, but the baggy denim your dude’s been wearing since college won’t cut it. Sexy men like John Krasinski know there’s irresistible power in a pair of perfectly-fitted jeans.

So what if he actually uses his iPhone to tell the time? A gorgeous, timeless timepiece is still an invaluable accessory (just check out how good it looks on Justin Theroux).

We’ll let Adam Levine demonstrate just exactly why a slightly sweaty, lived-in white tee is the epitome of hot-guy style.

As ZZTop once sang, “Every girl’s crazy ’bout a sharp dressed man.” They were specifically referring to a tailored-to-a-T, gorgeously made suit, as seen here on Aziz Ansari.

Not every guy has the style cred to pull off the maroon shade seen here on Victor Cruz – but every guy looks a little more ready for a big, sexy warm hug when they’re wearing one of these cropped, fitted coats.

James Marsden is ready to lower his and look at you approvingly over the frames. Need we say more?

This gets extra sexy points if the guy wearing it is as built as Charlie Hunnam, but a classic, well-cut black sweater looks great on every dude.
