Gino D’Acampo What the hell is that?! People spend a lot of money not to have grey hair; this guy does the opposite. Everything from the waist up is too much. He shows his age, because he has no idea who he is. 2/10
Helen Seamons Another chapter in the Malik tonsorial chronicles unfolds, and it’s less silver fox, more pretty pigeon with a hint of a blue rinse. I’m into the brothel creepers; a shoe synonymous with breakaway subcultures, it’s a good choice for the first man off the 1D ship. 6/10
Gregg Wallace Who is he? The tattoos are hideous. I hate shoes with buckles, they’re too clumpy. Shoes need to be almost unnoticeable. I’d give him 1/10, and the number of a good therapist.
Henry Holland It’s not so much his outfit but his tattoos that are troubling me. If you have lots of tattoos, you have to go simple with your clothes, which is why I don’t have them. The hair colour is too desaturated. It’s all just a bit messy. 5/10
Benedict Cumberbatch
GD I like the fact that it is subtle. He has put his collar up, which shows confidence. The brown soles on his leather shoes go well with the bag. I hope that when he lifts up the jumper he’s got a brown belt: that would make him a true Italian. 8/10
HS Sherlock has picked up Dr Watson’s bag. He’s at the Burberry show (hence the trench look, a masterclass in smart-casual), which raises the question, what the devil is in the bag? A pipe and cape? His lunch?
GW Ah, the Frumious Bandersnatch. I like what he’s wearing, it’s classic: proper shoes, raincoat, jeans, sweater and a T-shirt. I also carry a bag; we carry so much stuff around these days, men need bags, too. 10/10
HH This is very “fit dad on Primrose Hill”, but I am upset with his briefcase. It’s like Kanye West in 2007, when he first got into fashion and used to go everywhere with a briefcase. The only excuse Benedict can have for this is if he’s come from a meeting; but if you pop to the Burberry show on the way home from a meeting, then life’s too busy. 7/10
Prince Harry
GD Come on, he’s got some kind of military thing going on: every woman is going to love that. Anything to do with the army, however you wear it, is going to look cool. And the red hair with green suit works. 9/10
HS *Take My Breath Away plays softly* We have a winner! HRH in full Top Gun mode is frankly hot. The jumpsuit is a tricky look to pull off, but having an actual helicopter helps. Plus any garment with a dedicated map pocket (bottom of right leg) gets my vote. 10/10
GW Any man would look good in a flight suit; it’s a classic. He’s unshaven and his hair is blowing: it’s a great look. But he didn’t choose it, so 6/10
HH If Gwendoline Christie wore this with a pair of Manolo heels, she would look incredible, but it’s a bit too utilitarian on him. I am intrigued by his ankle pocket: I’ve only ever known a pocket at that height to be used as decoration. But this isn’t a fashion look, and I like him. so 7/10
Sam Smith
GD Now this is definitely something I would wear. I like black. I think you’ve either got the character or the look to wear black, or you don’t. Sam has it. But there is one thing I don’t get: why has he not got socks? Maybe he couldn’t find them? I think he wants to show everyone that he is a rock star by not putting on socks. 10/10
HS The new-look Sam is a cross between Daniel Radcliffe and Johnny Cash. There’s not an awful lot to say about this outside of: try harder. The only thing of note is the thick-rim glasses that tap into the Gucci geek trend. Yes, black is a fashion classic, but it’s boring in this context. 2/10
GW I like everything apart from the shirt and tie: if you’re going to wear a tie, it should be seen. That jacket’s fine but, for me, looks too casual to be worn with a tie. Almost on-the-way-to-the-office, almost rock’n’roll, but can’t decide. He’s going to cut an album, then go study accountancy. 7/10
HH I get what he’s doing. Some days, you just want to wear all black, you don’t want any attention; but he looks a bit like a cater waiter. He’s showing off his new physique; he looks great and I like him, but he does look as if I could ask him for a canape. 7.5/10
Drake
GD This is not a jacket that any man should wear, unless he is a student or an American. I wouldn’t rock a golden watch with diamonds myself, but he gets away with it because he is a rich rapper. Anyone who dresses like this and isn’t a rich rapper looks like an idiot. 6/10
HS Drake dresses well, he’s not afraid of fashion. He’s wearing a varsity jacket from his own label, OVO; the brown suede is very this season. I love the Air Jordans; you can’t go wrong with a retro trainer. 8/10
GW Doesn’t he see British style and think, “That’s how a gentleman should dress”? It’s probably all hideously expensive; his jacket alone would probably house someone from Peckham for three-and-a-half years. It looks like he’s got his PJs on. 5/10
HH It’s very contrived, like the way he has poked his gold Rolex out from his sleeve. But I like the coordination. It’s got that box-fresh thing that rappers have: everything looks as it’s only ever worn once. That’s going in the bin when he gets home. His weird hair parting reminds me of when boys used to shave lines in their eyebrows when I was in school, and I’m not into that. But everything else is working. 8/10
Jeremy Corbyn
GD Who is this? Oh, the politician. I would never wear something like that: it’s a bit too matchy. No way does he pull it off. No one can. Unless you’re some kind of astronaut. It’s nonsense. 1/10
HS Mixed messages from Jezza here: as Manchester United will attest, head-to-toe grey renders the wearer nearly invisible – a contrast to the safety-first cycle helmet. It’s a lo-vis look with retro cool. Bonus marks for matching the bike to the contrast accents on the cycle suit. 5/10
GW That’s a hideous look. I’ve seen my co-presenter John Torode step off his bike in some frightful stuff, almost as bad as this. I doubt whether it’s even practical. It’s shocking. I hope it’s an accident, but I don’t think it is. 2/10
HH Oh, it’s disgusting. I feel like he does things that deliberately cause offence, and this is one of them. I’ll give him a little bit of credit for matching the red detail to the red bike. 2/10
