AB, Ambani, KJo: Who looks best in a suit?

All these high-profile male celebrities are known for their stylishly-cut tuxedos and suits, but who wears one best? Take our poll and let us know!

Last week, The Economist carried a feature that traced the history of the suit back to the 17th century and speculated that 2010 may well mark the 150th anniversary of its existence.

A garment that has both evolved and endured for more than a century is hardly likely to go out of style anytime soon; add to that the fact that almost every male celebrity worth his salt steps out in one when the occasion warrants it and you know the suit is here to stay.

We bring you a list of some of our best-dressed Indian men, who know just how to pick out a flattering fit and cut a dashing figure in a suit. Vote for your favourite!

Amitabh Bachchan

When it comes to charisma and sophistication, few can compare with Big B. And his impeccably-cut formals speak volumes about these qualities, as well as the fact that he's a superstar.

Shah Rukh Khan

Since SRK claims wife Gauri picks out all his clothes, we're guessing credit for his well-cut Italian suits should go to her. But they landed him a spot on this list all the same!

Arun Nayar

He's been in the news lately for his high-profile separation from wife Elizabeth Hurley. But other than the media storm created by his personal life, we also think textile millionaire Arun deserves recognition for his dapper style.

Anil Kapoor

Maybe this is where Bollywood starlet Sonam Kapoor gets her sense of fashion from. Daddy Anil is always kitted out in the smartest outfits, which is a far cry from his colourful on-screen persona back in the day!
