Esquire published its list of the 50 most stylish men in music on February 1, 2026. The ranking highlights artists from different genres, including hip-hop, rock, pop, KPop, and alternative. According to the publication, personal style in music is closely linked to identity and self-expression. Many of the artists on the list build their public image the same way they build their sound, starting from personal taste and creative freedom rather than popular trends.
The list also reflects how fashion and performance are now deeply connected. The artists selected by Esquire are both recognized for what they wear at red carpets and also for how their clothing supports their artistic image on stage and in daily life. The top 10 includes only one South Korean and KPop artist, Stray Kids’ Felix. The KPop star ranks in fifth place, standing out for rejecting strict fashion standards for idols. He is also known for wearing unconventional silhouettes, layered outfits, and bold styling choices. Meanwhile, his style mixes luxury fashion with strong streetwear influence.
