So that's why K-ON! didn't have many male characters (no main ones anyway)...because guys don't look good in that art style.

Silver Link are the studio animating it (Most are ex-employees of SHAFT). So think of it as the "What if Kyoto Ani and SHAFT worked together on something".

Neither gender looks good in the K-ON art style.

Girls look marginally better than the guys though =3.

For me, guys look almost the same as girls, only the outfits are differentXD I don't like this style particularly, but it's just a matter of taste;P
