Esquire UK has announced the return of its Better Men Honours, a celebration of positive masculinity, with Bang & Olufsen as headline partner.

The dinner will take place at Dante Mayfair, Claridge’s, London, on Wednesday 21 October, marking the launch of Esquire’s 2026 Better Men Honours list.

Selected by Esquire’s editorial team and an esteemed panel of judges, the honours recognise leading figures from the worlds of culture, politics, sport and fashion who represent a more thoughtful and open-minded approach to masculinity.

Additional event partners include Glenmorangie as Whisky Pour Partner, Porsche as Car Fleet Partner and L’Oréal Men Expert as Grooming Sponsor.

Teo van den Broeke, Editor-in-Chief of Esquire UK, said: “Since we launched our Better Men project in 2025, we’ve set out to redefine the conversation around masculinity by championing those who are doing good and striving to be better. Our Better Men Honours bring this to life and we’re proud to partner with Bang & Olufsen on this year’s event.”
