Silicon Valley is known for a lot of things, but high-fashion isn't one of them.
Its elite show up to meetings in pajamas, fleece vests have become the go-to uniform of venture capital investors, and many high-powered executives are so obsessed with efficiency, they've adopted a boring, unfashionable uniform they wear each day without fail.
But don't let the Valley's nerdy reputation fool you — there are plenty of executives who dress to impress.
Instagram's Kevin Systrom has proclaimed that he's "probably the only guy in Silicon Valley who enjoys wearing a jacket or a tie," while Snap CEO Evan Spiegel (who is actually based in LA) has appeared in the pages of Italian Vogue. Uber's Bozoma Saint John doesn't shy away from bright colors or daring designs, and Microsoft's Satya Nadella is often spotted in $500 designer sneakers.
Business Insider pored through photos of the top executives in the world of tech to determine who has a great fashion sense and who needs some help. We eliminated anyone who simply doesn't care — Alphabet's Sergey Brin — or those who always look presentable if a bit bland, like HPE's Meg Whitman. Others, like Apple's Jony Ive, made the list because of their role within the company they work for — Ive is design chief at Apple, so his fashion choices must face some scrutiny.
The ranking was based, whenever possible, on three clothing categories — casual, business, and formal wear — and were further evaluated for attention to trends, fit, and color choices.
For each exec, we also found some of their exact clothes — or similar items — so you can replicate their look.
What follows is a non-scientific ranking of the fashion sense of some of the top executives in Silicon Valley:
19. Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook

The Facebook's CEO cleans up nicely at awards ceremonies (pictured above) and his clothes are always well-fitted. Another point in his favor: in recent years, he's ditched his signature hoodie.
But he's at the bottom of the list due to his insistence these days on wearing one thing and one thing only: A gray crewneck t-shirt, jeans, and Nike running shoes.
Get Zuckerberg's look:

- Brunello Cucinelli cotton crew neck t-shirt, gray: $295 (Zuckerberg wears the brand, but his tees are special made and reportedly cost between $300 and $400).
- Nike Flyknit Lunar 3, wolf grey: $150
18. Jony Ive, chief design officer at Apple

Apple's design boss, Jony Ive, is regarded as one of the most respected minds in design. He's responsible for the look and feel of every Apple product, including the packaging.
Ive can look good in formal wear; he has a quirky penchant for white tie ensembles and throwback looks, like coats with tails. And he gets points for creativity with his clothing choices. But overall, his personal packaging could use some refining.
His pants are often too long and his shirts too oversized. He often opts for garish colors like orange jackets and red socks. He also frequently looks rumpled and disheveled.
