Jeremy Paxman has been named one of the most stylish men of 2008.

Esquire magazine named the Newsnight presenter in its top ten best-dressed list along with Christian Bale, Barack Obama, Lupe Fiasco and Fabio Capello.

Catherine Hayward, Esquire's fashion director said: "Powerful men know how to dress themselves and often stick to a uniform.

"Each of the men in our list has given a teasing twist to traditional tailoring and made the look entirely their own."

She added that Paxman's confrontational interviewing style was complimented by a confident dress sense: "Jeremy Paxman more than holds his own against the Hollywood power set.

"He obviously takes confidence from his suits and the way he dresses reinforces his authority in interview situations."
