Who: Robert Pattinson

What: Pattinson will forever be best known as Edward Cullen in the "Twilight" franchise —and as the man that took Kristen Stewart back after she cheated on him.

Why: As a high-profile movie star, it could be easy for Rob to fall into the same red carpet routine with A-list designers clamoring to dress him. However, he's beyond involved — and his best ideas come to him in his sleep. "I had a dream about an emerald green houndstooth suit," Pattinson said. "And I got Gucci to make it." We appreciate a man who takes a risk and steers clear of the traditional black and navy color palette. 

Who: Frank Ocean

What: As a member of hip-hop collective Odd Future, Ocean stepped ventured out on his own this year with a smash hit album (Channel Orange) and a rare announcement in the rap community: [...]

Who: Frank Ocean

What: As a member of hip-hop collective Odd Future, Ocean stepped ventured out on his own this year with a smash hit album (Channel Orange) and a rare announcement in the rap community: that he's bisexual. 

Why: Ocean is quickly becoming a fashion darling, and with reason. He manages to make shorts look stylish even on a red carpet, and is a fan of clashing prints. He's not afraid to be a little goofy—but also has an affinity for the high-end, dabbling in the addictive world of Balenciaga sweatshirts.  

Who: Hamish Bowles

What: As the International Editor at Large for Vogue, Bowles is one of the most familiar faces in the fashion world and a front-row fixture, often alongside editrix Anna Wintour. [...]

Who: Hamish Bowles

What: As the International Editor at Large for Vogue, Bowles is one of the most familiar faces in the fashion world and a front-row fixture, often alongside editrix Anna Wintour.  

Why: Bowles has a clear predilection for the "dandy" side of style, favoring bright colors and patterns for his sharp suits. He isn't afraid to add a little floral, occasionally opting for a bold corsage. 

Who: Bruno Mars

What: The Hawaiian-born crooner has a penchant for doo wop-inspired hits and A-list collaborations. 

Why: Just like his music, Mars' style is positively retro—down to the ubiquitous shades [...]

Who: Bruno Mars

What: The Hawaiian-born crooner has a penchant for doo wop-inspired hits and A-list collaborations. 

Why: Just like his music, Mars' style is positively retro—down to the ubiquitous shades and gravity-defying hair. While Mars tends keep his looks somewhat simple, we're more than supportive. His style is approachable and classic.

Who: Tyson Chandler

What: As the Knicks starting center, Chandler has made quite a name for himself in the NBA world — and the fashion world.

Why: Definitely a fashion risk-taker — he admitted to WWD that [...]

Who: Tyson Chandler

What: As the Knicks starting center, Chandler has made quite a name for himself in the NBA world — and the fashion world.

Why: Definitely a fashion risk-taker — he admitted to WWD that he loves gothic pieces, capes included—Chandler has become a fixture on New York's social scene. He's usually clad in Rick Owens and isn't afraid of drop-crotch cropped lambskin pants

Who: James Franco

What: Franco is a jack of all trades. He's an actor (in everything from Oscar-nominated films to "General Hospital"), a grad student (he's taken classes at NYU, Columbia and Yale) and an [...]

Who: James Franco

What: Franco is a jack of all trades. He's an actor (in everything from Oscar-nominated films to "General Hospital"), a grad student (he's taken classes at NYU, Columbia and Yale) and an author. 

Why: As the face of Gucci's male fragrance Gucci by Gucci Sport Pour Homme, Franco definitely gets the cream of the crop when it comes to tailored Italian suits. However, he doesn't just let the suits wear him. 

Who: Nick Wooster

What: Wooster is a big name in the fashion industry, thanks to his role as former men's fashion director for Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus, consultant for Thom Browne and Gilt [...]

Who: Nick Wooster

What: Wooster is a big name in the fashion industry, thanks to his role as former men's fashion director for Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus, consultant for Thom Browne and Gilt Groupe, and current creative director for J.C. Penney men's clothing. 

Why: With a handlebar mustache and arms covered in tattoos, Wooster automatically stands out at any fashion event. His affinity for offbeat combos like shorts and socks seals the deal — he's a style setter in every regard. 

Who: Andrew Garfield

What: The actor first captured our attention in "The Social Network," and he's now the star of "The Amazing Spider-Man." 

Why: During the "Spider-Man" press tour, we were even more [...]

Who: Andrew Garfield

What: The actor first captured our attention in "The Social Network," and he's now the star of "The Amazing Spider-Man." 

Why: During the "Spider-Man" press tour, we were even more excited to see Garfield's red carpet looks than those of his costar (and girlfriend) Emma Stone's. Garfield isn't afraid to play with prints, has a spot-on tailor, and has officially revived the skinny tie. 

Who: Olivier Theyskens 

What: Accomplished fashion designer, currently churning out cool-girl wares for Theyskens' Theory 

Why: Whether he's rocking a pair of combat boots and a tee or formalwear, the [...]

Who: Olivier Theyskens 

What: Accomplished fashion designer, currently churning out cool-girl wares for Theyskens' Theory 

Why: Whether he's rocking a pair of combat boots and a tee or formalwear, the Belgian designer always manages to look strikingly effortless. Although he recently chopped his trademark long hair, he's still a perfect example of grungy glamour. 

Who: Ryan Gosling

What: Gosling is an Oscar-nominated actor, but also one of the most lusted-after men in the world, with countless Tumblrs devoted to his hotness. 

Why: Gosling keeps it sharp in simple, [...]

Who: Ryan Gosling

What: Gosling is an Oscar-nominated actor, but also one of the most lusted-after men in the world, with countless Tumblrs devoted to his hotness. 

Why: Gosling keeps it sharp in simple, slim suits, but he isn't afraid to have fun. In fact, at the "Half Nelson" premiere, he rocked a tuxedo T-shirt in lieu of an actual tux. He's one of the rare few who can pull off casual as well as he can formal.

Who: Adrien Brody

What: Oscar-winning actor  

Why: Brody is always a handsome red carpet addition, but we admire his casual style, as well. While his candid shots usually feature a red bandana wrapped [...]

Who: Adrien Brody

What: Oscar-winning actor  

Why: Brody is always a handsome red carpet addition, but we admire his casual style, as well. While his candid shots usually feature a red bandana wrapped around his neck, Brody's red-carpet style is sleek and sexy — and a bit unkempt.

Who: Amar'e Stoudemire 

What: Stoudemire is one of the NBA's biggest names and a power forward for the New York Knicks.

Why: This Fashion Week regular has a genuine interest in style, and although it may [...]

Who: Amar'e Stoudemire 

What: Stoudemire is one of the NBA's biggest names and a power forward for the New York Knicks.

Why: This Fashion Week regular has a genuine interest in style, and although it may be hard to dress his 6'10'' frame, he never leaves the house without looking sharp. He keeps his accessories consistent, always wearing a tie (either bow or neck) and his black-framed glasses. 

Who: Hedi Slimane

What: Creative director, Saint Laurent Paris. 

Why: Given that he's a designer for one of the most buzzed-about lines of the year (thanks to Slimane changing the name of the storied [...]

Who: Hedi Slimane

What: Creative director, Saint Laurent Paris. 

Why: Given that he's a designer for one of the most buzzed-about lines of the year (thanks to Slimane changing the name of the storied house, and a fashion week feud with journalist Cathy Horyn), it's no surprise that he's stylish. However, Slimane stands apart from some of his colleagues thanks to his punk-rock flair and perpetual leather jacket. 

Who: Michael Bastian

What: GANT designer and all-around stylish guy 

Why: Bastian's menswear collections are all made from top-quality materials, and his personal style is no different. He always looks [...]

Who: Michael Bastian

What: GANT designer and all-around stylish guy 

Why: Bastian's menswear collections are all made from top-quality materials, and his personal style is no different. He always looks polished and pristine without being fussy, and he's well aware that a patterned blazer or sweater livens up a pair of khakis. 

Who: Tom Brady

What: As the quarterback for the New England Patriots, Brady has made Bostonians very happy with his massive success. He's also married to the most beautiful woman in the world, mega-model [...]

Who: Tom Brady

What: As the quarterback for the New England Patriots, Brady has made Bostonians very happy with his massive success. He's also married to the most beautiful woman in the world, mega-model Gisele Bundchen

Why: With Gisele as his wife, his style game has soared — she's practically his best accessory. Exquisite tailoring on all his clothing guarantees he always looks perfect, on and off the field.  

Who: Andre 3000

What: Outkast frontman

Why: One look at him and it's clear: he's one stylish guy. He effortlessly mixes old-school pieces like crocodile loafers and dramatic hats with crisp suits. The key [...]

Who: Andre 3000

What: Outkast frontman

Why: One look at him and it's clear: he's one stylish guy. He effortlessly mixes old-school pieces like crocodile loafers and dramatic hats with crisp suits. The key to Andre's style success lies in his exploration of color. He's fearless in every sense of the word. 

Who: Kanye West

What: Yeezy is a musician and integral part of the fashion world, having designed a collection which was presented at Paris Fashion Week for two seasons. 

Why: It would be wrong to not [...]

Who: Kanye West

What: Yeezy is a musician and integral part of the fashion world, having designed a collection which was presented at Paris Fashion Week for two seasons. 

Why: It would be wrong to not include Mr. West, who ditched his hackneyed Louis Vuitton logos for more subtle high-end lines like Givenchy and Balmain. (He also convinced his girlfriend Kim Kardashian to do the same). His style may be streamlined at times, but also not afraid to take a risk. At 2011's Coachella, he performed in a Celine Spring 2011 printed shirt. 

Who: Marc Jacobs

What: One of the most successful fashion designers of his generation. 

Why: While many may dismiss Jacobs' get-ups (which often include skirts, kilts, or in the case of the above, dresses) [...]

Who: Marc Jacobs

What: One of the most successful fashion designers of his generation. 

Why: While many may dismiss Jacobs' get-ups (which often include skirts, kilts, or in the case of the above, dresses) as silly, he has a unique ability to make feminine items seem masculine. Perhaps its his scruff or hard-earned chiseled physique, but he proves that you can experiment with fashion and gender, and still come out looking manly. 

WhoWaris Ahluwalia

What: Jewelry designer, actor, one of StyleCaster's Most Stylish New Yorkers in 2011

Why: Always clad in a sharp suit and signature turban, Ahluwalia is one of the most interesting [...]

WhoWaris Ahluwalia

What: Jewelry designer, actor, one of StyleCaster's Most Stylish New Yorkers in 2011

Why: Always clad in a sharp suit and signature turban, Ahluwalia is one of the most interesting and welcome faces on New York's style scene. He mixes tradition and fashion like no one else. 

Who: Swizz Beats

What: Beats is a music producer extraordinaire, and Alicia Keys' hubby.  

Why: In the hip-hop world, it's difficult to be trendy and label-conscious without being too flashy. Swizz Beats [...]

Who: Swizz Beats

What: Beats is a music producer extraordinaire, and Alicia Keys' hubby.  

Why: In the hip-hop world, it's difficult to be trendy and label-conscious without being too flashy. Swizz Beats pulls it off perfectly, often pairing Givenchy oxfords with bold jackets. As a side note, he also has killer hat game and a serious collection of sunglasses. 

Who: Johnny Depp

What: One of the most successful movie stars of all time

Why: Depp has a history of being a member of incredibly fashionable couples (he dated Kate Moss in the 1990s and recently separated [...]

Who: Johnny Depp

What: One of the most successful movie stars of all time

Why: Depp has a history of being a member of incredibly fashionable couples (he dated Kate Moss in the 1990s and recently separated from partner and Chanel darling Vanessa Paradis), but his style is all his own. No other man has such a strong penchant for hats (everything from fedoras to newsboys) and chunky scarves. Even in the hot Los Angeles weather, you can expect Depp to be layered to the max. Nicole Richie and Rachel Zoe may own the boho-chic category when it comes to women, but Depp definitely holds the title for the boys. 

Who: Brad Kroenig

What: Kroenig is one of the most sought-after male models in the world.

Why: He isn't just stunning and stylish on the runway. Kroenig is always clad in designer duds, thanks in part to [...]

Who: Brad Kroenig

What: Kroenig is one of the most sought-after male models in the world.

Why: He isn't just stunning and stylish on the runway. Kroenig is always clad in designer duds, thanks in part to his relationship with designer Karl Lagerfeld. There's something about a man in tweed that we really support, plus his adorable son Hudson takes the cake as cutest kid in the fashion industry. 

WhoA$AP Rocky

What: Critically acclaimed rapper and a member of hip-hop collective A$AP Mob. 

Why: Rocky likes flashy and he likes designer, and he's determined to bring a level of fashion awareness to [...]

WhoA$AP Rocky

What: Critically acclaimed rapper and a member of hip-hop collective A$AP Mob. 

Why: Rocky likes flashy and he likes designer, and he's determined to bring a level of fashion awareness to "the hood." His uniform generally consists of Rick Owens and Comme des Garçons, so we're guessing his status as a fashion icon in the rap community isn't too far off. 

Who: Brad Goreski

What: He first became known as Rachel Zoe's styling assistant, and now he's a stylist in his own right with a Bravo reality show to back it up. 

Why: Whenever we think preppy is played [...]

Who: Brad Goreski

What: He first became known as Rachel Zoe's styling assistant, and now he's a stylist in his own right with a Bravo reality show to back it up. 

Why: Whenever we think preppy is played out, we remember Brad Goreski. He has a unique grasp on the movement and can somehow make bowties and bright colors look fresh. 

Who: Ed Westwick

What: Actor best known for his role as bad boy Chuck Bass on "Gossip Girl."

Why: Like his character Chuck Bass, Westwick has a flare for the dramatic. He loves a pocket square, he's [...]

Who: Ed Westwick

What: Actor best known for his role as bad boy Chuck Bass on "Gossip Girl."

Why: Like his character Chuck Bass, Westwick has a flare for the dramatic. He loves a pocket square, he's attracted to color, and he can tread that ever-fine line between fabulous and Eurotrash. More often than not, it's the former, and he's a consistent red-carpet favorite. 

Who: Kyle Anderson

What: Marie Claire accessories editor 

Why: Anderson has become a street-style star in his own right, and with good reason. He enjoys high fashion, as proven here in this Burberry [...]

Who: Kyle Anderson

What: Marie Claire accessories editor 

Why: Anderson has become a street-style star in his own right, and with good reason. He enjoys high fashion, as proven here in this Burberry Prorsum coat, and experiments with women's garments and accessories. If this isn't your cup of tea, we can all learn a lesson from the different shapes and silhouettes he plays with. 

Who: Justin Bieber

What: Bieber is a pop prince who's well on his way to being one of the most successful musical artists of all time (and he's recently made headlines for a split from girlfriend Selena [...]

Who: Justin Bieber

What: Bieber is a pop prince who's well on his way to being one of the most successful musical artists of all time (and he's recently made headlines for a split from girlfriend Selena Gomez)

Why: Bieber's style is young, fun and, these days, risky: He's been into some blinged-out YSL logo pieces and and drop-crotch metallic pants, and we're okay with that. He also knows the power of a goof tux, his look of choice on red carpets. 

Who: David Beckham

What: The soccer great is also the husband of one of the most fashionable women in the world, Victoria Beckham.

Why: Whether he's in an airport or on a red carpet, Beckham is always [...]

Who: David Beckham

What: The soccer great is also the husband of one of the most fashionable women in the world, Victoria Beckham.

Why: Whether he's in an airport or on a red carpet, Beckham is always pitch-perfect when it comes to style. Like Johnny Depp, he has no problem with layering or experimenting with bohemian styles like chunky knit sweaters and slouchy beanies. 

Who: Adam Levine

What: Maroon 5 frontman, "The Voice" judge  

Why: The reason why Adam Levine makes the cut is clear. He's equally comfortable in black-tie gear as he is his stage ensembles, which are [...]

Who: Adam Levine

What: Maroon 5 frontman, "The Voice" judge  

Why: The reason why Adam Levine makes the cut is clear. He's equally comfortable in black-tie gear as he is his stage ensembles, which are typically simple and sexy. It doesn't hurt that Levine has a penchant for tight T-shirts that show off his tattooed muscular biceps. Levine also has a penchant for edgy designer like Rick Owens, who he's worn on red carpets. 

Who: Zac Efron

What: Actor, best known for "High School Musical."

Why: Admittedly, we were surprised to find out that Efron actually has style, as evidenced in the above maroon suit. Although he entered [...]

Who: Zac Efron

What: Actor, best known for "High School Musical."

Why: Admittedly, we were surprised to find out that Efron actually has style, as evidenced in the above maroon suit. Although he entered the Hollywood scene as your typical famous teen, he's evolved into his own man. He wears a suit well, but seems more comfortable in casual gear. We don't mind as long as it's well-cut and flattering, which it always seems to be.

While we spend a sizable portion of our day ogling the latest red carpet dresses worn by our favorite actresses, or longing for the effortless style (and the Céline bags!) of our favorite street-style stars, it’s easy to forget about the hoards of fashionable men out there. Indeed, fashion’s lens has been fixed on menswear in an insider-baseball way (blogs like F*ck Yeah Menswear make that clear), but we feel it’s time for even more well-dressed dudes to get the props they deserve — from actors and rockers, to athletes and editors.

In fact, when everyone was talking about the sheer Zuhair Murad dress Kristen Stewart wore to the final “Twilight” premiere in L.A., our eyes were glued to Robert Pattinson‘s forest green houndstooth suit. We wanted to know why he chose it (assuming some stylist didn’t just throw it on him), and as it turns out, he told People he commissioned Gucci to make it after it came to him in a dream.

Guys like Pattinson—and so many others—have unique signature styles that we can only aspire to emulate. In the gallery above, we’ve compiled a comprehensive guide highlighting 30 of today’s ultimate style-setters, and this time they’re all men.

Click through the slideshow and let us know which guys are killing it, style-wise!
