NEW YORK – Justin Timberlake wins style props in the March issue of GQ magazine.
The magazine picked the entertainer to lead a list of the “10 Most Stylish Men in America.” It singled out Timberlake for his impact on fashion, willingness to take risks and “knack for targeting trends” such as hats, three-piece suits, skinny ties and beards.
Timberlake, who launched his clothing line William Rast several years ago, tells GQ he considers model Kate Moss a style icon because she “could put a barrel on and it would be some sort of statement.”
It irks the 28-year-old heartthrob when an entire outfit revolves around a hat, and he’d never wear an argyle sweater vest off the golf course. He prefers to keep it simple, clothes-wise.
Other “Stylish Men” include Kanye West, T.I., Jason Schwartzman, hotelier Andre Balazs and photographer Alexi Lubomirski.
