In a Sept. 8 interview with Complex, Kansas City Chiefs legendary tight end
Travis Kelce shared, “I don’t know what teams started to take pictures of guys walking into the facility or walking into the locker room or going from players’ parking lot to the locker room, whatever it was. I don’t know who started it, but it started a wave of just fashion-forward sports players. And I think guys in athletics have been involved in fashion for such a long time. You look at a guy like Deion Sanders, Terrell Owens, I mean, let alone all the Michael Jordans that have been in the fashion world because of their shoe deals and stuff like that.
Without a doubt, I think the football world is starting to come around to being that fashion-forward mentality. Our game days are now 18 weeks out of the year, so we get almost anticipation for those big-time moments. It’s almost like a red carpet every single week. In Kansas City, we have to be business casual slacks. You can’t go full jeans and a t-shirt on an away game; you have to actually dress business casual. So, it’s more of a red carpet on the week-to-week and regular-season games in the NFL. It’s been a whole lot of fun being in the mix of all that.”
Travis Kelce always looks impeccable: business casuals, subtle Taylor Swift tributes, or sunset-y vibes
Kelce doesn’t have a stylist, but he makes sure “to have looks ready for away games because you can’t just throw whatever on.” He could wear a cool jumpsuit and sneakers for a home game and look street-style fresh, but for an away game, he puts more thought into it the night before. Honestly, it depends on how he feels when he wakes up, and he usually wears the same thing for away games. He has a suit for the travel day and the same exact suit for game day.
Now, let’s check out five of the best bold pregame fashion moments from Travis Kelce’s playbook:
Woodsman-inspired style or nerdy college boyBrown-and-beige checkered Louis Vuitton flannel shirt with a white collar, khaki cargo pants, and matching white sneakers. The ten-time Pro Bowler wore brown-tinted Saint Laurent sunglasses and carried a small orange Recover sports drink bottle.
