GQ MOTY 2019

GQ

The Biggest Fits of the Year • Each day on Instagram, we honor the bestdressed celebrity of the moment with the title #BigFitoftheDay. These are the 15 that loomed largest in 2019.

BREAKOUT OF THE YEAR Lil Nas X • In a matter of months, LIL NAS X experienced the delirious spectrum of emotion that comes with overnight success—from the glorious highs of “Old Town Road” to the relentless demands of sudden fame.

THE MOST STYLISH CHARACTER OF THE YEAR Adam Sandler in Uncut Gems

Books of the Year • We asked the authors of our favorite books of 2019 to nominate their favorite books too.

TOUR OF THE YEAR Dead & Company • The band’s summer tour was the pinnacle moment in a Grateful Dead revival that’s turned into a full-blown cultural movement. Here we rekindle the glorious vibe of the 19-show run.

POWER BROKER OF THE YEAR Rich Paul • How the Klutch superagent is reshaping the NBA in his own image.

Moments of the Year • A 2019 yearbook through the wildly subjective lens of GQ

The Audacity of Pete • This time last year, you had no idea who PETE BUTTIGIEG was. Now it’s clear that whether or not he wins in 2020, he’ll be shaping our politics for years. Jason Zengerle on the improbable arrival and urgent ambition of America’s most famous mayor.

GQ Men of the Year 2019

Tyler, The Creator • In 2019, Tyler sold out arena shows, went platinum for the first time, and further expanded his sphere of creative influence in fashion, footwear, and ice cream. So why does he feel like there still aren’t enough people paying attention?

GQ The First Annual Fashion Awards • Menswear is now the electric energy source at the center of the fashion universe, so we’re honoring the designers, brands, and trends that made the biggest impact in 2019.

CELINE, FALL-WINTER 2019 • Every time the visionary designer Hedi Slimane reimagines the suit, it leads to a fashion revolution. This time, for his menswear debut at Celine, he introduced a double-breasted jacket with double-pleated pants. Sharp, with just a hint of slouch. Here, in his own words, how the first look from his fall-winter 2019 collection came to be.

This year, just when we had all caught our breath, Rolex dropped another bomb: a revamped GMT in the utterly badass black-and-blue “Batman” colorway. Better get Alfred on the phone quick, because the Batman is already going for about twice its retail price of $9,250 on the secondary market.

THE MEN’S IT BAG • When Young Thug bragged “I got me a Birkin” in 2017, it was clear: Handbags aren’t just for women anymore.

SALOMON S/LAB XT-6 • In a sneaker market driven by hype and exclusivity, the fact that a technical performance runner was able to cut through all the noise—and become a genuine hit—is a bit a of a surprise, especially for the guy who created it. “There’s not a chance that I would’ve ever expected this to...
