While handsomeness may be subjective, the criteria relied on in this survey measure the men in each city’s commitment to a great appearance. GroomingLounge.com based the findings on the following criteria: amount spent on personal care services per man, spend on personal care products per man, spend on shaving needs per man, spend on apparel per man and the fittest cities in the nation.
This is the third incarnation of the Most Handsome Cities List. Compared to 2017 results, only a handful of previously ranked cities remain high on the list. What’s changed? Of the last top 5 only Seattle (the most-recent winner) and Portland remain, while Denver falls 2 spots to #7 and DC and San Francisco fell off the top 25 completely. Boston and LA also lost their spots in the top 25. In general, smaller cities have taken over bigger city’s rankings. The most handsome city in the country this year is Arlington, VA, a suburb of DC that is coincidentally sandwiched between the two brick and mortar Grooming Lounge Barbershop locations.
