Happy birthday, Jim Nelson! As editor-in-chief of GQ since 2003, you’ve survived countless fashion trends—from skinny jeans to man buns—and somehow managed never to embarrassingly endorse either. We've admired your impeccable knack for targeting style and taste with wit that's sharper than a tailored suit.Under your leadership, GQ has continued setting high standards in journalism—or at least kept reminding us that dressing well doesn't excuse wearing socks with sandals. Your keen editorial eye navigated the magazine through changing times gracefully (unlike leisure suits). Here's hoping this year brings even more success and fewer questionable facial hair revivals—cheers!
