Mark Zuckerberg
It is rightly said that sums of money cannot buy style! Mark Zuckerberg , CEO and founder of world’s No. 1 social networking site-Facebook tops GQ’s worst-dressed men in Silicon Valley list. Zuckerberg takes the crown, his poorly-fitting jeans, penchant for flip-flops, old-fashioned ties and badly-cut blazers, as immortalized in the Oscar-winning movie, The Social Network, all contributing to the position. He managed to beat out Apple CEO Steve Jobs who stood. Zuckerberg’s ill fitting hoodies, jeans, t-shirts and Adidas sandals all together contribute in making him top the chart of the worst dressed techies.
Steve Jobs
We have always loved writing about the Apple CEO Steve Jobs. Indeed is the man of inventions but the disheartening part of his personality is that he is usually spotted in his seeming to be the trademark uniform of ‘black turtleneck, dad jeans and Seinfeld kicks’ that contributes in making him enter the list of the most worst dressed techies. According to the magazine, Steve is a ‘style blunder no Auto Correction can fix’.
Bill Gates
Bill Gates, one name that is renowned coming up with the Microsoft is too the entrant of the list of the worst dressed techies. GQ writes on Gates, “Rather than swag out in Armani suits, Gates takes the lazy preppy approach, opting for a drawer full of V-necks in every hue.
Shantanu Narayen
Shantanu Narayen, president and CEO of Adobe Systems Inc. grew up in Hyderabad and studied at Osmania Univ before migrating to USA. Once in the USA, he has gone from one success to the next. Shantanu is also the part of worst dressed techies. India-born president and CEO of Adobe Systems as GQ writes is swimming in his dad jeans and looks like Nate Robinson playing dress-up in a Shaq suit.
Dennis Crowley
The co-founder of social networking sites Dodgeball and Foursquare, Dennis Crowley has successfully grabbed the fifth position. GQ writes: Crowley’s biggest style sin includes his appearances in college sweatshirts. The magazine advises Crowley to reserve his college sweatshirts for lazy Sundays, grocery runs, and gym visits.
Reid Hoffman
The co-founder and chairman of professional social networking site LinkedIn, Reid Hoffman is yet another style sinner who is up on the list grabbing the 6th position. According to GQ, ‘Hoffman isn’t Silicon Valley’s most flagrant style offender, but it is easy to mistake him for the cable guy who shows up for appointments sometime between the hours of 8 am and 9 pm’.
Tom Anderson
Tom Anderson, the Los Angeles resident and former co-founder of MySpace is also among the worst dressed techies. His over-layering T-shirt, hoodie and blazer all together contribute well in making him the entrant of the list.
Seth Priebatsch
22-year-old Seth Priebatsch is the CEO and founder of SCVNGR, a Cambridge Based Company that builds mobile games. Seth is at number 8 on GQ’s list of worst dressed men. Sis signature ski goggles, sandals, backpack, and shirts that bleed ‘Jersey Shore’-orange all together make him the part of the list.
Howard Stringer
Howard Stringer, Chairman, President and CEO of Sony appears to go fishing. GQ lists him the worst-dressed men who is at no. 9. 69 years old Stringer gets thumbs down for his casual dressing. According to GQ, Stringer’s attire resembles that of a dad going fishing.
Peter Chou
Peter Chou, the co-founder and CEO of HTC according to GE needs to borrow some fashion tips. He is at No. 12 on the list for his roughed-up dad sneakers and ill-fitting jeans. The GE magazine suggests him to pull his jeans five sizes down.
Ron Conway
Ron Conway, one of the early investor in Google, PayPal, Facebook and Digg is at no. 13 of the list. His high water trousers contribute a great deal in making him one of the worst dressed techies. GQ writes-Conway’s high trousers aren’t supposed to hover above ankles, effectively cutting off height, nor should blazers graze thighs.
Craig Newmark
At no. 14 is the founder of San Francisco-based website Craigslist, Craig Newmark. His wrinkled shirts, oversized blazers and a beret fetish make him the badly dressed man. GQ writes-there’s a fine line between looking artsy and uncomfortable which Craig has stepped over.
