Don't listen to GQ - George Clooney is still incredibly stylish and these 15 photos prove it

GQ magazine just released its list of the 20 most stylish men alive, and not only did the publication exclude George Clooney - it rubbed it in his debonair face.

In a post about how the list was determined, GQ contributor Will Welch included a note about Clooney's absence. He wrote:

FWIW: George Clooney may be an icon of manliness to those of us who were born before 1985, but nobody under the age of 30 seems to think of him as particularly stylish.

Talk about shots fired! Let's unpack this.

Seeing as GQ's list was based largely on what famous men wear in their off time, I agree, Clooney's off-carpet style leaves something to be desired. He has an unfortunate collection of dad jeans.

I'll also admit that Clooney is kind of a one-tux-pony. (That is to say, he's most often photographed in formal wear.) But to claim that "nobody under the age of 30" thinks he has style is a blasphemous generalization.

Clooney has set the bar for black-tie on the red carpet.

He represents old Hollywood glamour and gives the young guys on the carpet - like Ryan Gosling and Bradley Cooper, both on GQ's list - something to aspire to. Leaving him off the list is one thing, but denying his influence is quite another.

To be known for one type of look is not a sign of irrelevance, but a badge of true personal style. And if said singular style is Cary Grant meets off-duty superhero, you're doing something very right.

Here are 15 photographs that prove Clooney's ability to look "particularly stylish" - even to the eyes of a twenty-something - as well as a some trademark Clooney moves that I picked up in my photo research.
