Brady, 30, the dapper New England Patriots quarterback, tops the list, which appears in the September issue, on newsstands Aug. 14. He's lauded for his "All-American Kennedy-clan suits," which clasp his yummy form like a well-fitting pair of football pants. Adding to his cachet: a supermodel girlfriend, Gisele Bundchen, on his arm. Not subtracting from his cachet: Being baby-daddy to his pregnant ex-girlfriend, actress Bridget Moynahan.


COMPLETE LIST: Who else made the 'Esquire' cut?

"He's managed to learn to keep it simple. He's got a tailor who makes his clothes fit really well, and he always looks like he's put a little thought into" his dress, says associate editor Richard Dorment, who helped put the list together.

"I am honored to be chosen," Brady said in an e-mail statement to USA TODAY. "But, as much as I enjoy dressing fashionably, this time of year I care a lot more about how I look on the field than off it."

Twenty-three men landed on the list. "We looked at thousands of men from around the world," Dorment says. "The factors we consider are consistency and care, men who take the time and energy" about their appearance.

In addition to the list are a dozen men considered either "controversial" or sartorially significant — for instance, Pope Benedict XVI, who's the "accessorizer of the year" for his red leather loafers.

"It's important to have a signature, something that distinguishes you from everyone else," Dorment says.

The rest of the top five are record exec and rapper Jay-Z, 37, at No. 2, whose high-style/low-style mix gets the lifetime achievement award; the new James Bond, British actor Daniel Craig, 39, who was No. 1 last year and is praised for never wearing anything baggy; Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama, 46, who has figured out that light-blue ties look best on him; and New York hipster hotelier André Balazs, 50, who turns heads with slim-fit suits, sprawling ties and a perma-tan.

Hip-hop stars ruled in previous years: The 2005 winner was hitmaker Pharrell Williams; the 2004 winner was Outkast's Andre 3000.
