Best dressed Brit
The thin white duke according to some...
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/david-bowie-named-bestdressed-briton-of-all-time-by-bbc-history-magazine-8881953.html
No mention of the other duke surprisingly.
"Florid, smug, middle-aged golf club bore in this country I'd say. Propping up the 19th hole in deepest Surrey bemoaning the perils of immigration."

Would have to be Roy Chubby Brown..
* Exuberant dress style empowers big-boned people
* High water trousers, white socks and bow tie is a nod towards Ivy
* Headgear anticipates 'steampunk'

Peter O'Toole - I would have gone with Peter York - but I see that the guidance is not to do so.
I came up to see her sometimes.

Re: Best dressed Brit
Now, Mr. O'Toole will forever be jolly stylish - Good call.
I rather think that the Irish dress best (Although the Scots also certainly have their moments). All this 'English' hype needs a really good looking at.
In general, if it's 'English' and good it usually isn't 'English'.

Re: Best dressed Brit
Bowie is theatre, that's all.
I'm tempted to name meself...
But...
These types of things are tedious...
However, I'll play. Out of the current bunch, I'd say the tailor Edward Sexton. Best ever, well that's gorra be the Beau surely.
