18 Sharp-Dressed Men

"Mad Men" makes us long for a time before Casual Fridays; we pick TV guys whose dapper duds deliver.

1. ALEXANDER SKARSGARD as Eric on True Blood
   Who are we to ask for anything more than every opportunity to see this man shirtless but we will say that even fully clothed — particularly in a natty suit — he exudes sex, power and danger. —Abby West
2. JON HAMM as Don Draper on Mad Men
   Hamm's '60s ad man may have single-handedly revived an interest in the classic two-button suit with a look that men aspire to and women swoon over. —AW
   
   
   
3. MATT BOMER as Neal Caffrey on White Collar
   This con man/art thief may have plenty of substance to go along with his style, but it doesn't make his Dapper Dan act any harder on the eyes.—AW
   
   
   
4. DAVID BOREANAZ as Booth on Bones
   With all his eccentric tweaks to his standard FBI attire — the ''Cocky'' belt buckle, the whimsical socks — this Special Agent (and once-again Ranger sniper) seems to have his sights set on stopping traffic. No problem there. —AW
5. JEFFREY DONOVAN as Michael Westen on Burn Notice
   Okay, for Michael Westen the shades oftentimes complete the ensemble, but with or without them he floors us with his ability to skirt trouble, save the day, and look amazing in his linen suits. —AW
6. MICHAEL WEATHERLY as Tony DiNozzo on NCIS
   The funny, pop-culture obsessed special agent adds a whole lot more than his observational expertise to a crime scene when he shows up in a dress suit. —AW
7. NATHAN FILLION as Richard Castle on Castle
   The successful mystery writer has a taste for the finer things. His expensive suits are one of the things that make him stand out when he's rubbing elbows with his NYPD pals.—AW
8. NEIL PATRICK HARRIS as Barney on How I Met Your Mother
   Barney made ''Suit up'' a catchphrase and looked good as he did it. Of course he's making the list.—AW
9. ED WESTWICK as Chuck Bass on Gossip Girl
   Possibly the most overdressed high school student (not that we mind) in the history of television, Chuck Bass doesn't know the meaning of casual. Now a business tycoon, impeccable suits and a penchant for bright colors make him unforgettable in the board room.— Emily Exton
10. TAYE DIGGS as Sam Bennett on Private Practice
    When you peddle a book that gets you nicknamed ''Doctor Feelgood,'' you do have an obligation to dress up for work. And Dr. Bennet delivers. —AW
11. JOHN KRASINSKI as Jim Halpert on The Office
    Jim keeps Dunder Mifflin's Scranton branch classy, opting for more casual suits (although not as casual as his colleague Meredith... ) while making sales calls and pushing Dwight's buttons.— EE
12. TOM COLICCHIO on Top Chef
    The straight-talking competition judge often serves himself up to viewers as another tasty treat whenever he saunters onto the screen.—AW
13. ERIC BRAEDEN as Victor Newman on The Young and the Restless
    A handsome, powerful, and wealthy man in a well-fitted suit is never too over-the-top for us...it just shows he's in control. (Insert intense, lingering look here.)—AW
14. ANDERSON COOPER on Anderson Cooper 360
    CNN's silver fox expertly delivers the hard-hitting news but sometimes we get a little distracted by the sharp wardrobe.— EE
    
    
    
15. JEFF GLOR on CBS Evening News
    He may be relatively new on the national scene, but this anchorman is keeping it classy.—AW
16. MATT LAUER on the Today Show
    We've watched him go from the new guy to the elder statesman, and we have to say that aside from the occasional Halloween crossdressing excursion, he's gone through the years cutting a striking figure out on the plaza in his suits. —AW
17. THOMAS GIBSON as Aaron Hotchner on Criminal Minds
    "Hotch" may be so tightly wound that his tie seems more like an appendage than an article of clothing, but what's so wrong about a man with nothing out of place?—AW
18. TIM ROTH as Cal Lightman on Lie to Me
    It's absolutely no lie that cocky behavioral expert Lightman and his swagger give his usual open-collared suit look great panache.—AW
