Articles are presented in a variety of styles: short, concise and punchy editorial with longer essay style features, brought to life on the page through sophisticated photography, graphics and design. Subject matter follows the classic areas of any man s existence culture, lifestyle, world affairs, fashion, sport, music, celebrity, art and design, health and much more. In a region where obvious wealth abounds, it is Esquire s mission to not simply represent mindless consumerism but to emphasise spending money in the right way and how to have a pretty good time doing it. Not simply buying the most expensive suit, but the right suit, with the right cut, in the right colour. There is a focussed balance between local and international content. Esquire s role as a print, digital, social and events brand for men in the Middle East highlights local issues and trends through interviews and investigative features, creating a platform of local and global content, delivering on its unparalleled international reputation. Our ethos is to develop a culture and way of living through a collective editorial voice. Esquire calls on strong cultural reference points that strike significant chords with its readers. Esquire is about applying the finishing touches to the reader s life not simply by what he should wear, but why he s wearing it and where he can find it. These are the factors that take the reader to the next level, and that make Esquire the number one men s title in the Middle East.

He s ABOVE ALL ELSE, an individual who sets his own path and pursues his passions regardless of what all the other guys are up to. And being a maverick and feeling maverick aren t mutually exclusive EVERY man has it in them. Esquire is speaking to that feeling and inspiring men to embrace it.
