The first edition was published Spring/Summer 1991.

The magazine features articles on luxe design and culture, food, business and technology, style, music and books. It is pitched at a similarly upscale audience to ''GQ'', attempting to offer a more adult read than lad mags like ''Maxim'' and ''FHM''.

Each issue, ''Esquire Magazine'' features famous celebrities on its cover: cover girls have included Katy Perry and Rachel Weisz; and male celebrities from Jeff Bridges and Jake Gyllenhaal to Dizzee Rascal have appeared on the cover. The first cover star was Brigitte Bardot.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/media/2007/aug/06/mondaymediasection.pressandpublishing2|title=Let's hear it for the little guy|last=Brook|first=Stephen|date=2007-08-06|work=The Guardian|access-date=2017-10-16 |issn=0261-3077}}</ref>

Originally a monthly, the UK edition underwent a major revamp in 2019, dropping to six issues a year, but in a larger format, with an increased page count on higher quality paper. The July/August 2021 issue would be the last as a bi-monthly, before switching to a quarterly magazine.
