The Raconteurs
His other band's music may be better, but with these guys Jack White (second from right) at least dresses like a normal person—a normal person with a thing for well-tailored workwear, anyway. His bandmate Brendan Benson (kneeling), meanwhile, pairs the occasional contrast-collar shirt with smart blazers and jeans. As for bassist Jack Lawrence (far left) and Patrick Keeler (far right), when they're not telling sonic tales with the Raconteurs, they split their time with the equally stylish (and underrated) Ohio group the Greenhornes.

Vampire Weekend
Let's face it: These guys' half-serious, half-jokey Graceland-inflected world pop would be pretty darn annoying if it weren't so well executed. Same goes for their clothes. While their sound is all anthro-class Soweto, their look is vintage St. Paul's: rep ties and shawl-collar sweaters, oxford-cloth button-downs, and beat-up Barbour coats. Not very rock 'n' roll, admittedly, but walk down any block in Williamsburg or Silver Lake, and you'll see they've struck a chord.

Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds
Okay, when we say Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, we really mean just Nick Cave. And while he may not be blessed with the loveliest of voices, the man makes the most of what he's got. Same's true in the realm of aesthetics: Cave's not the handsomest guy in the room—or, hell, the handsomest guy in his band—but the charismatic front man wears bespoke with unrivaled authority. He keeps up the routine offstage, too: Cave recently claimed he dons a suit every day in the studio.
