GQ regularly publishes a list of most stylish cis-men. Autostraddle recently posted their list of hot 100 girls who like girls. Vogue has their list of most stylish cis-women. So, isn’t it high time that some stylish dapperQs get some well deserved media recognition and visibility? Here is our list of the 100 most stylish dapperQs. (In no particular order; this is not a ranked list.) If you feel we’ve left someone off, suggest them in the comments section below to nominate them for next year’s list.

101. (So we’re not accused of nepotism) Susan Herr
Founder, dapperQ
Being a wannabe dapperq styled person. I loved this article. Thank you so much for inspiring and motivating people like me that identify with a dapperq, well-cut, style.
You left off one very dapper Q, someone you even profiled this year. Vick Quezada. Super Dapper, Super Handsome, really belongs on this list.
I need a profile on here, but better clothing first. Went down this list like a #who’swhotodo
It’s La Roux, not Le Roux. 🙂
Hey folks…where’s Andrea Gibson spoken word poet/activist ?
so you have to be young to be dapper? i think only #61 and #72 are over 30? come on now
yummmmmmm (^_^)
I wasn’t sure if Anon’s comment was spam, but I wanted to address it in case it wasn’t. #4, 7, 11, 16, 26, 31, 34, 38, 44, 47, 54, 59, 61, 64, 65, 70, 72, 78, 84, 88, and many others on the list who chose not to disclose their ages are over 30 years old. So, the answer to your question is, “no.”
Kelly Ann Russin.
I’d also add that we would very much like to find and feature more 50+ dappers. If you’ve got folks to bring to our attention, please do!
Very nice collection of dapper peeps and lot’s of fashion inspiration! Now I’m off to raid my closet and figure out some new clothing combinations. Specifically, I have #71 style in mind. 🙂
This article was fantastic! The Dapper list was on point….and the collection of fashion was even better!
Super, troppo, dope. Loved the styles and the artists/people/rabble-rousers are awesome.
Great list! Such handsome eye candy.
Are any of the dappers who identify as trans men into other guys? Or do you have to only like women to be part of dapperq? I am a trans queer guy and am curious, since it seems that there isn’t much internet space for us fashionable trans fag types, or at least none that I’ve seen. I don’t mean to be divisive, it’s just that my cis queer boyfriend and I both love all the pictures and have gotten a lot of ideas! Even if one has to date women to be part of this site, it’s still great to see masculine of center women and non binary people as well as trans guys being their stylish selves and inspiring me.
Being that sexual orientation does not equal gender expression, we of course welcome trans men who are into other guys! Doesn’t matter your sexual orientation. We are here to support anyone who has been shut out of and ignored by the world of menswear.

SAMMY TRAMP!

Super happy to see such body and race diversity in these images. Would have loved to see more visibly disabled folk (other than the cutie with the cane), but maybe next time. 🙂
Seeing bigger bodies looking so dapper is nice! I always see thin people but rarely people who have a similar shape to mine! This is great!
