'GQ' Declares S.F. 20th Worst-Dressed U.S. City

Billed as the key reason why romance novelist Danielle Steel skipped town, the city has no sense of high style. In fact, GQ just declared San Francisco the 20th Worst-Dressed U.S. city. Which...fine.

It seems after an eight-year high atop Travel + Leisure’s (mildly arbitrary) "World’s Best City" list, for a second year in a row, it fell to a disgraceful fifth place. Simply shamless, we say. (Italy's Florence took the gold, by the way.) But the best part is that a Sydney official is "calling for all Sydneysiders to help return the city to its rightful spot at No.1." more ›
