Cro's Style Awards No 77.



This dapper gent' above is Andrew Ridgeley, one half of Wham; the other half being the late George Michael.

Ridgeley is always impeccably dressed. I would vote him a serious contender for 'Britain's Best Dressed Man' (we'll pretend we didn't see the man-bag).

Well done Andy.... keep it up.

    1. Coffee, tea, biscuits, chocolate, and jam. All delicious breakfast related goodies!

    2. I would rather have G.R. than all the other goodies you mentioned.

    3. I buy a cheap alternative; anchovy paste in a tube. It's very good.

  2. I have always been wary of Brown Boots/Shoes/Hush Puppies with that kind of outfit.

    1. Rules (Brown and Blue, never on you) are there to be broken. I think in this case they look very good.

  3. Gosh, I'd never have recognised him!

  4. I think I will pretend I don't see a lot that I don't like. Once again Cro you have shown that your taste in fashion is crap. Was he the cute guy in Wham with the black curly hair? Drug ****ed as George was, he had style, he had grace and he gave good face.

    1. My taste in fashion is impeccable.

      He was the non-singer of the group; the one who backed GM.

  5. Sorry, but no. So many reasons, but I really dislike this 'look'.

    1. Not my style at all (I'm a scruff), but all of the photos I've seen of him recently are very 'dapper'.

  6. Cro how about getting Lady M to take a photo of you in your sartorial elegance just so we can judge whether your ‘My taste in fashion is impeccable’ actually applies to you? Be good to see; I suspect that hackneyed phase ‘shabby chic’ might at a push, shabby more than chic, apply to your good self?

    1. My 'ratting' style of dress is unique. Living out in the country I dress for 'comfort and practicality'.

  7. Well, I think he looks pretty dapper ...... much better than many I’ve seen. XXXX

    1. He has the money to dress well, and the good taste to go with it.

      Delete
  8. I don't think he's changed that much; he always was smart.

  9. I would never have realised who this was - I am rather fond of a loud suit and he wears it well. He's very snappy for an old rocker, although I'm reluctant to put rocker and Wham! in the same sentence, haha!

    1. I like their Christmas song, and a few of the others.

  10. That's not a "man bag" Cro... that's a real leather, courier's satchel.... and ruddy expensive.
    I draw on my iPad and wanted something safe'ish to carry it around in... they seem to start at around £250 and rise giddly upward!
    I found the same thing... with some honest wear and tear on it in a vide grenier... still real leather.... 5€!!

    1. My bag is canvas, and rather military looking. I just thought his bag spoilt the look as a whole. Could you imagine the late Princess Grace wearing a nice expensive outfit with a bag strung across her chest? I know it's not quite the same thing; but almost.

    2. In London and other cities, "across the chest" is "de rigeur"... as is wearing it with the flap against the body... you've probably got a 'phone, a tablet or other computer, important papers and wallet and passport in there... over the shoulder has not been the way of wearing a bag in a city, large town or crowded shop for about the last fifteen years!
      Very difficult for someone to snatch that satchel from him when worn across the body, the flap on the inside deters pickpockets.

  11. I'm more impressed by his ability to float just above the ground. Looks like he could walk on water.

  12. I like the man bag and the look in general but it does look as if he is floating!

    1. As someone myself, with a similar looking bag, I can't say I don't like it; but it does rather spoil the overall look.

      Delete
  13. I agree, And what, may I ask, is wrong with the man bag? Surely better that all his pockets stuffed with bits and bobs.

    1. He's such a snappy dresser that I thought he'd have found a better solution. I see so many people these days walking around wearing rucksacks; I'm sure he'd never stoop to that. Maybe a manservant to carry it all?
