It seems everyone is doing some kind of “Hottest Hollywood Dad” or “Most Handsome Man” poll these days. Vanity Fair’s “Most Beautiful Man” poll is still going on, but the Twihards need to step up their game – Robert Pattinson has dropped from 59% to 51% in just two weeks! Go, Twihards, go! Anyway, I suspect most of these polls are to honor Father’s Day, which is this coming Sunday. Thus, we have two new polls, all to honor the famous men in our lives. What’s shocking to me is that President Obama and Brad Pitt, two men in their mid- to late thirties, seem to be locked in some kind of hottest, coolest, most stylish death match. All for the glory, baby.

The first poll that I found is definitely the lamer of the two. Allegedly, Jockey International Inc. asked women which celebrity dad they would most like to see in their underwear. Brad Pitt apparently won hands down, and President Obama claimed the number five spot. Do these women realize that Brad’s abs aren’t up to Thelma & Louise quality anymore?

Sure Mark Wahlberg and David Beckham have sizzled in their skivvies in sexy underwear ads. But, neither of them is the man that ladies really want to see strip down.

According to a pre-Father’s Day poll done by Jockey International Inc., Brad Pitt is the celebrity dad most women would like to see in his underwear.

The Inglourious Basterds star beat out Matthew McConaughey by just five percent to claim the top spot, and Hugh Jackman, Will Smith and President Barack Obama complete the top five.

The second poll is a bit more reasonable. The British clothing company Thomas Pink polled 3000 men to determine the twenty most stylish men they could think of. Shockingly, President Obama won hands down. Brad Pitt came in second. The president of Thomas Pink commented, “World leaders and politicians are not known for their dress sense, so it’s refreshing to have Obama who seems to genuinely care about his appearance.” I disagree. Obama looks nice in his suits and his casual-wear, but he doesn’t seem like he cares about clothes at all.

President Barack Obama has been named the most stylish man in a poll of 3,000 men.

The president, who moved into the White House in January, has impressed fashion experts across the globe with his sharp suits and smooth sense of style.

Brad Pitt, the Hollywood actor, came second thanks to his ability to look stylish in a sharp suit and dressed down jeans.

Jonathan Heilbron, President & CEO of luxury shirt company Thomas Pink, which carried out the poll, said: “Barack Obama has a great sense of style, which no doubt adds to his popularity. World leaders and politicians are not known for their dress sense, so it’s refreshing to have Obama who seems to genuinely care about his appearance.”

Third place in the poll of 3,000 men was taken by David Beckham, whose trendy style has seen him become one of the most photographed men in the world. Daniel Craig, the James Bond star, is at number four, followed by The Godfather actor Al Pacino.

George Clooney was voted into sixth place, with designer Giorgio Armani even saying that the former ER star makes a suit look “simply fantastic”.

Bill Nighy, who has recently been on the big screen in The Boat That Rocked, came seventh, while painter and filmmaker Andy Warhol was at eight. Clint Eastwood and Will Smith completed the top ten.

The poll also asked what they considered to be the most essential fashion items in a man’s wardrobe; a crisp white shirt came first followed by a pair of blue jeans and a casual t-shirt.

The nominated ‘most stylish’ men have all been photographed numerous times wearing white shirts, each adding their own individual stamp to this most timeless of looks.

Jonathan Heilbron, President & CEO of Thomas Pink, said: “These guys have access to the latest designer trends and can get away with wearing virtually anything, yet time and time again they are seen in a sharp white shirt with jeans or a suit.”

I think quite a bit of President Obama, but I don’t really consider him all that stylish. He’s a nice-looking man, but his clothes aren’t all that awesome. I actually like that he doesn’t seem like a clotheshorse, that he seems to only care about style as far as what is functional. Unlike Brad Pitt, who seems to really care about his clothes even if he sometimes looks a bit overstyled. Between the two of them… well, I daresay I considered President Bush a better dresser. Bush had great suits, and you could tell he cared about tailoring. But I’m all over Bill Nighy and George Clooney on this poll – both men look fabulous, and they make the effort.
