Model Citizens Top 5: Golden Globes Men's Edition!

The Golden Globes have kicked off award season and if there can be one thing learned from this year's red carpet its that men's formalwear looks best sleek, simple and next to a beautiful woman. The majority of men this year stuck to the classic black suit or tuxedo so here's 5 men who kept it basic but still managed to catch the eye.

Gerard Butler

It would seem that, since playing Leonidas, Gerard Butler loves to expose his abdomen. This time he's showing off a well fitting, low slung vest. Butler nailed the perfect mixture of casual and formal, juxtaposing a classic tuxedo with scruff and long, wild hair. It worked out.

Brad Pitt

The first thing you'll probably notice about this picture is that Angelina Jolie has an stunning dress. This is definitely true but upon closer examination you'll notice a few things her hubby. First off, he's got a cane and as far as I'm concerned men need to use more canes. I mean when else can a man get away with walking down the road jauntily spinning a cane? It's the Golden Globes! Aside from that particular  accessory, Pitt looks excellent with a differently textured jacket and vest combo as well as long hair. Pitt's always been one to rock the long locks and he's still keeping it up, 15 years later.

Kevin McHale

I'm going to be honest, I have no idea who Kevin McHale is nor if he's actually 14 like this picture would suggest. One thing I do know is that I love a good velvet jacket and this Kevin McHale character is making it look good. Bonus points to Kevdog for the polka dot bow tie which works with his slightly more casual choice of attire. The great thing about wearing a velvet jacket is that you can get away with slightly more playful accessories, as opposed to the much more rigid and traditional black tuxedos. 

Adam Levine

Adam Levine loves big things! Actually this is merely conjecture but his getup at the Golden Globes was definitely oversize. From the bow tie to the lapels to the slightly frosted tips, Adam Levine woke up in the morning and decided that regular sizes just weren't going to do it for him. You know what? It works. He was in danger of looking goofy with a bow tie that sort of looks like Eeyore's ears and lapels as wide as a serving platter but he somehow pulled it off. I think it's the facial structure.

Zachary Levi

Zachary Levi, who coincidentally was also awarded the "Did that usher stumble onto the red carpet?" prize actually injected some well needed colour unto the red carpet. His bluish/charcoal tuxedo was a breath of fresh air in a sea of black. Hats off (and a 5$ tip) to Levi for showing everyone that although black is a sure bet, there are other colors that can look debonair without pushing the limit.
