While his style isn't always spot on (pink roll necks, dodgy jeans and over-blinged T-shirts anyone?), Ashley Cole's wardrobe has drastically improved in recent years.
The Chelsea star grew up in tracksuits and trainers - 'I used to dress like a tramp,' he once said - and he credits estranged wife Cheryl Cole with his fashion makeover. These days, Ashley has graduated to smart three-piece charcoal grey suits that are far removed from the unforgettable satin Roberto Cavalli suit he wore on his wedding day
In the world of football, Frank Lampard is known as a bit of a renaissance man with a proven IQ and an A* in Latin, qualifications which have obviously rubbed off on his intelligent style of dress.
As a confirmed supporter of the Conservative party, Frank's political leanings seem to influence his dress sense. The England player opts for classic Prada suits on the red carpet, mixing the jacket with vintage jeans in casual moments. He's also an advocator of pink, proving that real men can wear the colour.
Ex-Manchester United player Dwight Yorke was once nicknamed the Smiling Assassin because of his goal scoring abilities and constant smile. His dress sense, however, is nothing to smile about.
Yorke has a fondness for white suits, sheepskin jackets, vests, bandanas and too much bling, all often accessorised with a glamour model like Jordan on his arm. Dwight could improve on his style by steering clear of the white suits, opting for a neutral shade instead, and toning down the bling accessories.
One-time Manchester United player Cristiano Ronaldo may have modelled for Armani and Energy, but his fashion sense definitely veers more towards Eurotrash style than high fashion chic.
From his tight pink shorts to Louis Vuitton man bags, Ronaldo's outlandish Mediterranean style never really translated to the rainy streets of Manchester - shaved legs and flowers-in-the-hair having never really taken off with the men of the city. While we salute Cristiano's bravery, we can't say we hanker after his wardrobe.

Voting him the worst-dressed player in the Manchester United dressing room, Wayne Rooney's teammates gave the striker plenty of stick for his dodgy clothes. Defender John O'Shea said: 'He obviously pays quite a lot for his gear but it obviously doesn't work for him.'
Having tried (and failed) to carry off the English gent look in hunting jackets and heritage checks, Rooney was obviously alone in thinking he looked good. Maybe Wayne needs to look to his fashion icon wife, Coleen, for a helping hand in the fashion department.
England defender, film producer, record label owner, media mogul - and still Rio Ferdinand finds time to stay sharp. He was once crowned GQ's best-dressed man and Rio's look is always onside.
Ferdinand's dad was a tailor, so fashion is in his blood. He has his own fashion footwear range called Five and cites Gucci loafers and Tom Ford aftershave as two of his style must-haves. And his style advice? 'Don't try to rock too many fashion trends at once and never wear white socks,' he says.

Former Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola is the youngest Champions League-winning manager ever, and also one of the sharpest dressers in football.
Pep's presence pitch-side is markedly different from most football coaches, his tailored bespoke suits and monogrammed shirts a sharp contrast to the gum-chewing style of the likes of Alex Ferguson. Guardiola also has the knack of knowing how to wear a fine knit jumper under a suit - a look a lot of us fail to carry off due to the unforgiving clinginess of fine knits.
