Best Dressed Male Athletes of 2014

10 Colin Kaepernick
The 49ers quarterback may like to sport his tattoos with his hat backwards, but people love it. The Wisconsin native got voted in as the winner of GQ's 2014 "Style Wars," a competition that was held between athletes.

9 Damian Lillard
The Portland guard may still be growing his brand, but his fashion sense has fully matured. Lillard got mentioned in many magazines, including GQ, over his wardrobe choice at the ESPY Awards last summer.

8 Roger Federer
The Swiss tennis star appears to keep things simple, but sometimes that's all it takes. A form-fitting suit goes a long way. Forbes took notice.

7 LeBron James
The "King" does a great job of looking casual yet dapper, even when he's strolling about Ohio. He was one of the top best dressed according to Forbes this year.

6 Dwyane Wade
Find a picture of Wade at any public event and he's dressed to impress. Maybe it's South Beach or just a sixth sense, but the former Chicago star has blended in nicely in Miami since joining the Heat more than a decade ago.

5 Kevin Durant
The Oklahoma City Thunder guard knows how to make a press conference look like the orchestra pit at the L.A. Philharmonic. We may not be crazy about some of his choices in eye wear, but he's always looking sharp off the court, enough for GQ to take notice.

4 Tom Brady
We all know Gisele Bundchen. Therefore it makes sense her husband has to have the style gene as well. The Patriots quarterback is constantly being photographed publicly and not once have we seen a bad picture. Again, having a supermodel in frame always helps.

3 Victor Cruz
Who doesn't love a football player who knows how to salsa? Especially a guy who dresses as sharp as Cruz. The N.Y. Giants wide receiver was recognized as a fashionisto in Vanity Fair and People this year.

2 Henrik Lundqvist
This selection probably surprised me as much as anyone, but Lundqvist is heralded as a fashion icon throughout the web, being listed as a leader in pubs like Vanity Fair, Forbes and GQ in 2014 alone. The gold medalist may be a N.Y. Ranger, but he's a Ranger via Sweden. Damn, they know how to look good in Scandinavia.

1 David Beckham
Arguably the biggest sports star on the planet, Beckham has always dressed like it. Mentioned as one of the perennial kings of style again in publications such as GQ and Glamour, the soccer star always looks as sharp as a tack. Of course the haircut and the lovely former Spice Girl attached to his arm certainly helps.

Honorable Mention - Paul George
The Pacers guard may still be recovering from a severe broken leg, but he's never had to recover from a poor photo on the red carpet from the look of things. George got mad props for this get-up at the ESPYs this last summer.

Honorable Mention - Nick Young
The Lakers guard dresses incredibly modern, but mixes that contemporary vibe with a flash of class. Am I typing gibberish? Probably -- but look at the picture. Isn't his son cute!
Young impressed GQ at this year's ESPY Awards.
