100 Most Stylish dapperQs 2014

In July 2013, dapperQ published our first ever list of 100 Most Stylish dapperQs. This was by far one of our most popular posts, but was by no means exhaustive. Since the original post was not comprehensive enough to capture all of the amazing dapper that exists in our community, our team decided to compile another list of 100 most stylish dapperQs.

Important things to know about this list…

1. 1. Individuals on the 2013 list were not eligible for the 2014 list.  Yes, Ellen DeGeneres is stylish… year after year…after year. But, we wanted to reserve room for other people in our community. Not to worry; those on the first list still hold their title. So, please do not write us asking why we snubbed Ellen! She’s on the first list with 99 other amazing stylish folks.
   2. Individuals were selected based on a nomination system. Don’t see someone you think should be on here? Nominate them for the 2015 list by e-mailing [email protected].
   3. Our list is trans* inclusive because our mission has always been to be a fashion and empowerment website for the unconventionally masculine: butches, studs, AGs, bois, and masculine presenting women, gender nonconformists, and trans* identified individuals — anyone who has been told that masculinity is off limits to them.
   4. This is NOT A RANKED LIST!!
   5. Our readers have a range of styles and many do not fit neatly into the gender binary. Styles range from andro-chic to dandy, and more…
