Everyone knows that music awards are not just for music, and fashion is an integral part of it. American Music Awards red carpet for years has seen some of the best fashion ensembles out there and this year was no different. All the stylish men brought their A-game, whether it was wearing classic combinations with a twist or rocking the latest trends. Here are our top picks from all the looks of the night.

John Legend likes to keep it simple with the focus on just one statement piece. In this case, he added a graphic monochrome jacket over a black and relatively simple outfit.

2. Niall Horan

Recently gone solo, Niall Horan, wore a simple gray windowpane checked suit with brown, dress shoes. Simple, yet stylish. 

3. Steven Yeun

A perfectly tailored two-piece suit never goes out of style. Steven Yeun kept it simple in this timeless classic combination. Brownie points for the not-so-simple tie and the nerdy glasses. 

4. James Bay

Rockstar James Bay wore a cropped baroque jacket, velvet skinny pants and a simple T-shirt. He topped his look off with a wide-brimmed hat. Definitely not for the faint of heart! 

5. Matt Bomer

Human barbie, Matt Bomer wore a not-so-traditional double-breasted suit with a contrast shirt and a silver tie.

Tween heartthrob, Shawn Mendes kept things interesting by adding a classic biker jacket to his rather basic outfit.

7. Sting

Sting chose to pair a slouchy jacket (very ‘80s!) with fitted pants, a T-shirt and boots. One word, badass! 

8. DJ Khaled

DJ Khaled always goes all out, in style of course. The rapper wore this extremely trendy (read: crazy) bomber jacket with an all-black look.
