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.

Do tell what was in that lovely Harrods Hamper

Cro Magnon said...

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

Susan Heather said...

No Gentleman's Relish?

Cro Magnon said...

Next year maybe!

Susan Heather said...

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

Cro Magnon said...

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

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

Cro Magnon said...

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

Sue G said...

Gosh, I'd never have recognised him!

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.

Cro Magnon said...

I think he's aged quite well.

Cro Magnon said...

My taste in fashion is impeccable.

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

the veg artist said...

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

Lettice said...

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?

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

New World said...

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

Cro Magnon said...

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

Cro Magnon said...

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

Cro Magnon said...

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

Cro Magnon said...

I think he's aged well.

Starting Over, Accepting Changes - Maybe said...

Not your typical old rocker.

Cro Magnon said...

More a City Gent.

Pipistrello said...

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!

Le Pré de la Forge said...

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€!!

Cro Magnon said...

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

Cro Magnon said...

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.

Tasker Dunham said...

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

Cro Magnon said...

It's Christmas; he's 'floating in the air'.

Treaders said...

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

The Weaver of Grass said...

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

Cro Magnon said...

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.

Cro Magnon said...

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?

Le Pré de la Forge said...

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.
