TEAM EDWARD OR TEAM JACOB – WHO’S GOT BETTER STYLE?

Quick disclaimer, I’m not a raving Twilighter. However, I can’t ignore two stars who have captured the attention of many, many females.

Ok, ok, if you want a more recent picture than “R-Pat” as Cedric Digory and Lautner as Shark-Boy, here’s corresponding GQ covers, linked to stories about each in the magazine:

Twilight fans have practically developed a new literary style, the “Edward vs Jacob” post. Which one is worthy of Bella????????
Don’t answer that. Anyway, how do they dress when they’re not guided by the staff at Gentlemen’s Quarterly? Thus, I present my style-themed “Edward vs Jacob” post. Who dresses the best?
ROUND 1:

Rob goes for the casual look (with two? buttons unbuttoned) while Taylor needs to wear a suit larger in the chest. Also showing some chest. Except no hair to complement. Plus, I’m not sure how I feel about that suit’s color.
WINNER: TEAM EDWARD
ROUND 2:

Taylor should probably take care of some of the break in his pants. Little too baggy. Pattinson, imo, blows him out of the water in this shot. Leather? Black jeans, sans belt? Why the heck not?
WINNER: TEAM EDWARD
ROUND 3:

Pattinson again sports the untucked shirt look. Plus a herringbone jacket? Ch-yeah. Meanwhile, Taylor can’t find pants that fit him. He doesn’t know how to tie a tie to the correct length, either. And the monochrome look went out with Regis Philbin.
WINNER: TEAM EDWARD X 2. DOUBLE VICTORY.
ROUND 4:

Taylor – try something besides black. I don’t know how I feel about Pattinson’s shirt (and its buttons), so I give this one a tie. (also, Kristen Stewart wtf)
WINNER: TIE
ROUND 5:

I don’t like the look of Pattinson’s undershirt. So you know what?
WINNER: TEAM JACOB
FINAL ROUND:

As much as I like Pattinson’s bold choice of brown shoes, I just can’t give this one to him. Light skinned people need higher contrast clothes, Robert’s ensemble is anything but. Lighten up, blood sucking hearthrob. Since Jacob’s pretty dark, all black works.
WINNER: TEAM JACOB.
FINAL SCORE:
TEAM EDWARD: 5
TEAM JACOB: 3
ANALYSIS: Taylor Lautner is dark, which allows him to wear darker, less contrasting clothes. That’s my hunch as to why he wears black so much. Pattinson, on the other hand, is as pale as…a vampire. Also, Pattinson’s def got the hair, which enforces the casual look he attempts with an untucked shirt. It works. Finally, Taylor, quit wearing skinny ties. You’re not a huge guy, but you’re pretty buff for your height. Skinny ties work better with lankier, smaller frames like Pattinson’s.
All this should be taken with a grain of salt – Taylor Lautner is younger than me. I didn’t dress sloppy when I was 18, but I didn’t dress better than Taylor.
Since Edward won, I guess I’m Team Edward now. Go team.
ECLIPSE PREMIERE UPDATE: Can Jacob pull a last-minute win?

Yeah right. Pattinson’s maroon suit pretty much dominates this whole photo.
