BV's 20 Most Stylish Brothers

In Hollywood, everyone tries to look good with varying levels of success. There are those who go the eccentric fashion route and others who don't seem to try at all. But amidst the clamor of fashion do's and don'ts there are always a few good brothers who are consistent in their stylishness and in their efforts to simply look good.

Although it was tough, the we managed to come up with a list of the 20 most stylish brothers around today...

The College Survival Guide

    A Fridge
    Regardless of whether you have a wonderful sized meal plan, your fridge may come in handy with leftovers or when you feel like stocking it with bottled drinks.

    Computer
    The convenience of a computer is essential when sending your kids off to college. Forget the hike to the computer lab across campus students need a computer in the comfort of their room. A printer comes in handy as well. Depending on whether your child plans to carry his laptop around campus, you might opt for a desk top since they're lighter on the pockets.

    Snacks
    You will surely survive with off of a meal plan but it doesn't hurt to stock up on snacks when you don't feel like leaving your dorm room. Bottled water, pop corn, cereal and Ramen noodles are all low budget snacks to stock up on. Just be weary of the freshman 15.

    Things from home
    Some college students suffer from homesickness the first year. It's best to surround yourself with things like photos of the family, pillows or even stuffed animals. Anything that reminds your child of home.

    MP3 Player
    With all the stress that comes from school and exams, sometimes it's nice to block out the chaos in your life and even your roommate with music. It's nearly impossible to find students walking to class who aren't jamming to tunes.

    Budget
    Students who enter college often come in at the ripening age of 18. A great time for credit cards. Parents beware, your child may end up ruining their credit at a young age

    Alarm Clock
    When you're in college you don't have the luxury of getting awaken by your parents. It's now your responsibility to get to class on time so alarm clocks are a must. But keep your roommate in mind. You shouldn't wake him up ever morning with a blow horn alarm.

    Cleaning supplies
    Now you don't necessarily need to bring in the rubber gloves, mop and gas mask but it doesn't hurt to bring along Clorox all purpose wipes for spills or dust. Vacuums and brooms come in handy too depending if you have a carpeted dorm.

    Bedding
    What most parents aren't aware of is that most college beds are twin sized but extra long and require special sheets. When shopping keep your eye open for sheets that clearly state 'extra long' or else your child may come up short.

    Shower shoes
    You really don't know what some people do in the shower these days. College showers are known to be creeping with germs so spare yourself the fungus and purchase flip flops for the shower. You'll thank us later!

1. Sean Combs is the best dress on that list, hands down. There is no one on that list close to him. He rocks urban wear well and he has the sporty look on lock down. In fact, his conservative style is great. Sean John, was and is the best hip hop clothing line going. G-UNIT was second best. Everboby on that list is distance second, trust me. I give FUBU and Phat Pharm there respect too.

2. Will can dress conventional or slighty edgy and still look classy

Curley at 10:29AM on Sep 18th 2008

3. PRINCE IS THE MAN

JUJNE at 11:13AM on Sep 18th 2008

4. Prince is just strait up sexy!!!

6. Prince got it going on and know how to take control in what he does on staqge electrofying

Jerry Manning at 12:52PM on Sep 18th 2008

7. Sean Combs is the epitome of fresh. This Renaissance man from Harlem always take it to the next level!

Gianni Shamari at 12:53PM on Sep 18th 2008

8. Prince is what's up!!! All day, every day and twice on Sunday!

11. We are not even having this conversation. Prince is the man of style hands down!! END OF CONVERSATION

THA GREAT ONE at 3:10PM on Sep 18th 2008

12. I have to go with Prince too. While the other brothers look nice, Prince manages to keep his look up constantly. I have never seen him in jeans, or dressed down in any way while in the public. To me, that stands alone with contemporary artists.

Michelle at 3:13PM on Sep 18th 2008

13. Personally, I love Steve Harvey's style. He may be a little older than the brothers on this list, but he is a sexy, classy, man of God. I love his show too

Antoinette J at 3:41PM on Sep 18th 2008

14. Andre 3000 has such a unique sense of style that people tend to misinterpret his looks. The brother landed on the cover of GQ as the Best Dressed Man one year! That's a magazine my father (deceased) suggested that I start to read when I was just in high school, way back in the day. GQ has a most respected image and rarely misses the mark. I wish more of us would give Andre the props he deserves!

Sallie Wiliams at 3:45PM on Sep 18th 2008

15. yo i think ya just straight up hating on ma man ne yo! he is best dresssed HANDS DOWN! he will kill all dem other peeps dey got there....den comes t.i tho...
