Former soccer star David Beckham has been voted the best male celebrity 'suit wearer' in a new poll.

The 39-year-old managed to grab the top position, beating off competition from American singer-songwriter Justin Timberlake and actor George Clooney to top the poll by Institchu.co.uk, a way of ordering a custom-tailored suit online.

The online suit tailor asked 520 women to choose the male celebrity they thought looked best in a suit, with Beckham topping the poll as over a fifth of respondents voted for him, reports contactmusic.com.

`I chose David Beckham as the winner because he looks absolutely gorgeous when he's in a suit. He's a good-looking man anyway but I'm not sure what happens when he wears a suit, he just looks incredible. I could stare at him all day,` said one of the respondent.

In second place was global superstar Timberlake, with 19 percent votes, while Hollywood actor George Clooney, who is often pictured in a stylish suit, came third with 16 percent votes.

He was followed by Prince Harry, with 13 percent of respondents saying they thought he looked the best in a suit.

"Made in Chelsea" star Spencer Matthews rounded off the top five with 10 percent votes.
