The Jury On Men's Fashion For the new season.

This article was leafed from www.guardian.co.uk.

The latest menswear might look great on models, but what does our celebrity panel think? We ask Gareth Malone, Jon Snow, Dermot O'Leary, Louis Smith and Nick Grimshaw for their take on the looks of the season.

Burberry Trophy jumper

Gareth Malone I don't know what a trophy jumper is, or what I'd need to do to win one, though I'm more likely to wear a bright jumper than this trend.

Jon Snow Beautiful cut. I like the pattern, but do I have the waistline to get away with it?

Dermot O'Leary I love knitwear and am actually on the look-out for what you might call a statement jumper. This pattern is a bit too "Christmas jumper" for me – I'm not quite up for that full effect – but a modified version, yes, I'd give it a go. I love traditional British knits, smooth and chunky.

Louis Smith I love the jumper and hat, but not with suit trousers – jeans or harem-style pants would work better. I also like the gloves and tie, but not with the jumper and hat – that's overload. I feel that these jumpers were pretty big last winter.

Nick Grimshaw I'm not into this. I don't like patterned jumpers, because I think I look like my dad in them. I can see this happening, and it's already a bit how teenage boys are dressing, isn't it? My head is too big to wear a hat, but I am into the idea of a flat cap. Those fancy gloves are a bit too feminine.

Louis Vuitton bomber

Gareth Malone I'm never seen in a bomber jacket outside the cockpit of a Spitfire. My mum calls these jackets bum-freezers. A total no from me.

Jon Snow Hopelessly over-elaborate. I would not be seen dead in it. Give me a real bomber jacket any time.

Dermot O'Leary This dark and sheeny bomber jacket looks great with smart trousers and shoes. The fur on the hood is a bit mid‑1980s B Boy, but I like it. What's he carrying, though? Is that a miniature sleeping bag?

Louis Smith This jacket is doing it. It's a really good look. But I'm not loving the polo neck. Also, a simple belt buckle is more up my street. And I can't see the odd-shaped bag taking off.

Nick Grimshaw I love a bomber jacket, although there is a tendency to look like a bouncer. I wouldn't wear it with shoes and trousers, though. Maybe I'd wear one to a festival with trainers.

Prada red

Gareth Malone Pillar-box red has never been my colour, although I did once own a red shirt. It's the sort of colour I'd struggle to wear beyond 25 December.

Jon Snow Suave, great cut, love the slanting pockets, sumptuous colour. Would I dare wear it? You bet I would.

Dermot O'Leary This imperial red certainly makes a big statement. I'd like the coat, but it would have to be in black. This coat has echoes of a Russian tsar. Beyond the colour, it looks like a beautiful, slim, double‑breasted cavalry coat. It's luxury and street at the same time – a good look for the right person.

Louis Smith I'm not a polo neck man, but the coat is pretty cool and I'm loving the round red glasses – I'd definitely wear those with a smart outfit or a suit. They're a bit Charlie And The Chocolate Factory. I like long coats with fur, but I don't like the colour. It's something Kanye [West] would pull off.

Nick Grimshaw I love red. It can be really warm on men. Red jeans and a denim jacket with old boots is a good look. I've also got a really nice burgundy Gucci jacket that's one of the things that always gets the most compliments when I wear it.

YSL man clutch

Gareth Malone One of the guys from the Manchester airport choir frequents a pub that has a sign on the door saying, "Absolutely no man bags." Many a British man would struggle with the word "clutch".

Jon Snow Cool dude look – but what's in that delightful little bag? Not for me, but if he needs it to carry his iPhone, a makeup puff and a couple of Pro Plus to ensure he's awake enough not to leave it on the night bus, I guess it does the job.

Dermot O'Leary I'm a big bag man, and I love leather, but a "man clutch" is a step too far – a bit Partridge In Paris. The rest of this look is a bit too neat schoolboy for me, but I can see it taking off – not the bag, but the sleeveless V-neck, shirt and slacks.

Louis Smith It's terrible! I'm all for man bags, because I am always on the go and need to transport my stuff in style, but a clutch is too far.

Nick Grimshaw It looks wonderful on the model, but it can't happen because it looks too like [Cristiano] Ronaldo. I saw it in Ibiza, but it makes you look like a woman. I like men's clothes when it looks like you haven't bothered at all. And anyway, what are you carrying in that clutch? I'd rather have a holdall or rucksack.

Dolce & Gabbanna velvet

Gareth Malone When I was a kid, I had a velour/velvety jumper and I still love the way velvet feels. I see myself dressed head to toe in velvet, but I'm not sure I'd like anyone else to.

Jon Snow I'm not a fan of the three‑piece, and I'm not sure I'd ever go for this retro Sherlock Holmes look. I return to the past, for sure, but what's new?

Dermot O'Leary Velvet can look great, but not this much velvet. It's a great evening fabric, and I can see some people bringing it into their daytime look, but it's not something I'd really get into. That claret's a great, rich, winter colour, though.

Louis Smith This is suave. I'd wear the trousers and jacket far more fitted, but other than that it's a good look. Three-pieces are the way forward. I'm also a fan of dicky bows and own several. I love the burgundy against the white shirt, too.

Nick Grimshaw This looks sick – I really like that look for nightwear. I can't see it carrying across to casual daywear, but when you're dressing up, I think velvet is great. I love a dicky bow, but there's a danger of looking like a child or a magician if you don't get it right.
