It’s that time of the year again when we raise a toast to style. As we head closer to this year’s edition of Hindustan Times’ Delhi’s Most Stylish 2011, the interest is palpable. Since our announcement of the 20 most stylish men and women who have been chosen by an eminent jury, we have received an overwhelming response from readers, keen to vote for their favourite style icons.

Today, we take a look at the 10 gentlemen of Delhi who have made it to the jury’s list of most stylish men. These 10 men may belong to varied professions - designers, industrialist, politicians, authors - but what’s common to them is their innate style . These are men whose individuality is integral to their style sensibilities and who stand apart even among the Capital’s swish set.

Our announcement about these men being chosen as the most stylish in the capital came as a pleasant surprise to many of those in the list too. While some were amused and were shy about commenting, some others were quick to express delight. “It’s an honour for me. Though I don’t follow trends and simply believe in wearing what I feel like, it’s flattering that people find me stylish,” said Sunil Sethi, president of the Fashion Design Council of India. Restaurateur AD Singh said, “It’s sweet, but seems like some people obviously haven’t seen me in my torn jeans and old T-shirts.”
