The Best (and Worst)-Dressed Men at the Emmys

<b>Offender:</b> Aziz Ansari
<br></br>
Ansari usually looks dapper when it comes to red carpet events, and his <i>Parks & Recreation</i> character even "walks on red carpet" with red fabric inserts in his shoes, but he missed last night. Especially with that wrinkled and askew bow tie.

<b>Winner:</b> Aaron Paul
<br></br>
You'd never know he plays a meth addict in the slick tux he wore last night. While everyone else sported black, Paul killed it in a brown shawl collared jacket. The guy took home an Emmy last night, along with some major style points.

<b>Winner:</b> Bryan Cranston
<br></br>
We love Cranston's contrasting peak lapels, and the grey tux is a refreshing departure from the usual black and white suspects. A quick bow tie check would have been good before he hit the carpet.

<b>Winner:</b> Damon Wayans
<br></br>
Wayans strayed from the ordinary black tux and opted for a nice midnight blue, complementing his wife's blue dress. The jacket fits beautifully, but he could've done with an extra bit of hemming. Overall, B+ for the funny man.

<b>Offender:</b> Jeremy Davies
<br></br>
Where do we begin? Davies, did you get dressed in the dark yesterday? From the child-sized vest to the extra skinny tie and grunge boots, this look is all kinds of wrong for television's biggest night.

<b>Winner:</b> Jim Parsons
<br></br>
Parsons' velvet blazer with peak lapels was one of the night's best, paired with perfectly-tailored pants and patent shoes. The <i>Big Bang Theory</i> thespian shows you how a little risk can go a long, long way.

<b>Offender:</b> Jon Cryer
<br></br>
The brat pack alum seemed to have been stuck at a high school dance with that terrible tie. Throw in those odd contrast lapels, and you've got a recipe for a sartorial mess. It's no wonder Molly Ringwald didn't fall for him all those years ago.

<b>Offender:</b> Kevin Costner
<br></br>
We get it, Kevin, you like the rugged look. It's your thing and, most of the times, it works. But there's a certain way to go about it. At least clean up your beard and do up an extra button if you're going to go for the tie-less look.

<b>Winner:</b> Jimmy Kimmel
<br></br>
The awards' host looked fantastic last night in a three-piece ensemble. It's a tricky look to pull off properly without looking overly stuffy and bulky. Plus, he had one of the evening's best bowties.

<b>Winner:</b> Damian Lewis
<br></br>
Lewis' wider-than-average lapels were a daring move, and he pulled them off flawlessly. Big risks equal big rewards, and this is one that paid off quite handsomely for the award winner. Well done, sir.

<b>Offender:</b> Louis C.K.
<br></br>
Louis C.K.'s tone-on-tone look was a bit much and a few sizes too big for him. At least he got two Emmys out of the night.

<b>Offender:</b> Ricky Gervais
<br></br>
Gervais also opted for the all-black-everything look last night, and paired it with seemingly orthopedic shoes. We're surprised his wife, looking stunning in that red gown, approved.

<b>Winner: </b> Jon Hamm
<br></br>
Ladies' man, television ad exec, and red carpet favourite, Hamm never disappoints at award shows. He was made for the tux, and the tux was made for him. Simple.
