"I've always had a bit of an individual style, even when I was a kid -- for real. I hated school uniforms, and all the rules, having to wear a tie and shit”- Zayn Malik

Mumbai: Singer Zayn Malik has been crowned GQ's Best Dressed 2017 in the publications first-ever Reader's play-offs, which saw him win with 59 per cent of the vote.

The 23-year-old singer songwriter has beaten Night Manager actor Tom Hiddleston to the post and has taken the title in the publications first-ever Reader's Play-offs, which saw him gain an impressive 59 per cent of the vote according to GQ Online.

However, this is not the first time the Pillowtalk has received the accolade as he was recognised for his incredible sense of style in 2013, which makes him the only male to receive the honour twice.

Meanwhile, Malik, who has recently joined forces with Donatella Versace on a new collection for Versus Versace called Zayn x Versace, believes he has "individual style" ever since he was a child, because he used to customize his school uniform.

"I've always had a bit of an individual style, even when I was a kid -- for real. I hated school uniforms, and all the rules, having to wear a tie and shit.

"But when I sussed out that there were no rules regarding how we wore our school blazers, I would walk around the place with one arm in a sleeve, the other out, with my jacket dangling over a shoulder," he had said.
