Esquire’s Best Dressed Man 2009

The winner of the Esquire Best Dressed Man Award 2009 is guitar player Dennis van Leeuwen.

The international jury chose Dennis because of his very own style and because his clothes stress his personality. Yet shortly after Dennis came on stage it became clear that he was not the only one responsible for his good looks. When he accepted his award he immediately gave all the credits for his clothing style to his wife Karen.  ‘Karen always tells me what to wear and gives me great advice.’

There were six nominees for the Esquire award, all with their very own style. One of them, Chris Zegers, told us he loves to wear second hand clothing. Another one, Theo Hiddema, always has his clothes handmade in a boutique in Belgium.

A third nominee, Waylon, admitted he always wears a jacket to finish every outfit.
