It also provides personality profiles and interviews, literature and technology updates, and travel and dining articles. Esquire is geared toward successful and affluent men who dress themselves, have the means and knowledge to invest, can order at a fine restaurant, have a healthy respect and admiration for women, enjoy enriching vacations, and have mastered life's basics. It targets the 25-50 age group and one third of their readers are women. Topics covered include culture and humanities, apparel and accessories, amusements, national and international affairs, general interest, sports/recreation/hobbies, business and industry, travel and transportation, health and medical science, and food and nutrition. Front-of-book sections include Man At His Best, a magazine-within-a-magazine section about style and culture with regular items: The Excerpts, Entertainment, Books, Food & Drink, Desire, Opinions, Cars, The Digital Man, and The Answer Fella. Additionally, the Style section regularly features topics like shopping, grooming, culture, and fashion, while the Folio section devotes eight to ten pages on the latest looks of the season. Semiannual sections include Women We Love, a tribute to a woman on the front lines of pop culture; The Information, a visual forecast of upcoming, upmarket trends in cultural and material worlds; and The Restless Man, a guide to the world's most exotic, extravagant, and exhilarating destinations. Be aware that Esquire, unlike many magazines, doesn't feature a holiday gift guide, or special gift guides. Editors avoid fads and holiday-centered themes because these types of issues would be too repetitive. Always allow 4-6 months of lead time when pitching.

For product or fashion-related pitches, specific editors need to be contacted for specific topics: Grooming-related pitches go to the Fashion Assistant.
