Why Mark Ronson Is The Most Stylish Man Of The Year

Mark Ronson made the job of picking the Hugo Boss Most Stylish Man very easy this year, and it’s almost all down to one particular outfit he wore at “an American sporting event”. Who else could we pick, other than the man who opened Bruno Mars’ set at the Super Bowl wearing a high-shine, sparkly gold-and-black Saint Laurent bomber jacket? With just the right mix of flashiness, sportiness and style, that outfit set the standard for menswear this year. For a man who spent most of his early career either producing seminal albums, such as Amy Winehouse’s Back To Black, or mixing records behind the decks in a DJ booth, 2016 was the year Ronson strode emphatically onto centre stage and looked damn good doing it, too.
