Andre 3000 is the world's best-dressed man

SOURCE NOT STATED IN THE POST

According to Esquire magazine, Andre 3000 is the world's best-dressed man. He heads an 18 man list that includes the Prince of Wales, three British actors and Coldplay singer Chris Martin.

"Andre's a complete individual," Nick Sullivan, the US magazine's fashion director, said. "[That's] really the point."

"He's probably worn his most outrageous when he's in a video or on stage," said Sullivan, who said Esquire's list is more about personal style than a celebrity's stylist's style.

This year's list has gone global because "men are starting to look beyond America for their style cues," said Sullivan.

"People see soccer stars and film stars and sportsmen all over the world, and it changes the mix of clothing inspiration."
