This year has brought us a plethora of stylish, distinguished gentlemen!  Our top bombers showed us that well-tailored pants and beards were the wave for 2016.  I feel a sense of pride when it comes to this category because out of the top ten bombers, four of them are from NYC!  Regardless of their locations, there is no doubt that these ten gentlemen were all about fashion.  Let’s dive into the top Bombers of the Day according to likes on the Fashion Bomb Daily account.

We will just call 2016 the year of the classic man.  Marlin loves his beard and a well-tailored suit!

In his submission he said, “I never wanna come off as too serious… Sneakers and suits all day everyday.”  If you ask me, wearing sneakers with your suits add personality to your ensemble.
