Tinie Tempah believes British men have ”class” when they dress.
The ‘Pass Out’ rapper – who was recently named Britain’s best dressed man by GQ magazine – thinks the history of clothing in the UK has helped make his fellow countrymen dress particularly well.
He said: ”We have class. It’s the way we carry ourselves. We have such an amazing history in terms of Savile Row – we know how to cut good clothes.”
The 23-year-old star – real name Patrick Okogwu – was particularly impressed by the Rake show at London Fashion Week menswear day.
He added to Vogue.co.uk: ”I loved the Rake show today. It was so well cut and well made. It’s created by Savile Row tailors – you don’t see that a lot on the catwalk. It was really good.”
Tinie beat Prince Harry, ‘Doctor Who’ actor Matt Smith and ‘Twilight Saga’ hunk Robert Pattinson to be named the best dressed by GQ, who claimed he had a ”true passion for elegance”.
Soccer star Mario Balotelli came second in the list.
