Esquire Magazine UK

Esquire is a remarkable brand with a remarkable history. When Arnold Gingrich debuted the first issue ninety-one years ago, he said he wanted it to be all things to all men. "This is difficult to accomplish, all at a crack," he admitted in his first Letter from the Editor, but in time Esquire established itself as an American fashion force, a spry cultural critic, and a home for legendary, culture-defining acts of storytelling. Or, as he would describe the publication in the February 1942 edition, just months after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, "a tonic to the woes of the world."

Over the following decades, Esquire has built on this heritage, as then-Editor in Chief Terry McDonell wrote in 1993, "with the understanding that although there is a lot more to a man than what he wears, dressing well and looking good can make a significant difference in his life." Across our vital entertainment, lifestyle, food & drink, and political coverage, that remains true to this day.
