Fashion is what you make it. If you are comfortable in what you wear and you own your look, there is no limit. That is the beauty of fashion; it lets you express your personality, creativity, and style. Athletes are known for their prowess on the field, but recently they are making headlines in the fashion world. Whether it’s for a red-carpet event, heading to a game, or making appearances at functions, these athletes know how to stay sharp. Here are some of the best-dressed athletes.

  1. Dwayne Wade, NBA

Dwayne’s style has evolved over the years. His style is elegant yet masculine. Everyone knows him as a basketball player, but he is also a father, husband, businessman, and friend, and his style reflects that. It is dynamic and unpredictable. Due to his frequent travel, he has interacted with different people and cultures, and this has inspired his wardrobe. Fashion has allowed him to expand his brand beyond basketball. He currently has a line with The Tie Bar, a collaboration with socks brand Stance, inspired a Hublot watch, and a range of underwear with brand Naked.

  1. Victor Cruz, NFL

For Victor, playing in the NFL has given him a platform to show the world how he dresses. While on the field, he makes sure he is always cleaned up, matching his style both on and off the field. With his own line of signature trainers from Nike, he is the face of Givenchy and was named in sports illustrated” fashionable 50” list for most stylish athletes. He is not all about high-fashion; he favors the athleisure look pairing most of his outfits with sneakers. His style is easy to adopt, and you can do so by including signature accessories like luxury ties from John Henric or a Rolex watch.

  1. Serena Williams, Tennis

Being an undeniable force on the tennis court wasn’t enough for Serena. The 21-time Grand Slam champion is also a fierce fashion force. Her wardrobe is full of potent and powerful pieces such as black floor-length, body-hugging pieces to the mesh-back dress she wore to the Sports Illustrated Sportsperson of the Year award event, which she won. She presented her clothing line, Serena Williams Signature Statement Collection for HSN, at New York Fashion Week, and it lets fans enjoy her off-court sporty and sophisticated style.

  1. Cristiano Ronaldo, Soccer

The footballer is known to be a sharp dresser often seen in sleek suits and tuxedos, especially Dolce and Gabbana, and he always finishes off his look with an impeccable hairdo. Ronaldo has been the face of many fashion campaigns such as Emporio Armani, Portuguese clothing brand Sacoor Brothers, watchmaker Jacob & Co., and many more. He has also launched a signature collection of his own CR7 underwear, featuring boxers, briefs, premium shirts, and footwear. The CR7 brand also extends to his Nike range.

For these and other athletes, their fashion is not only a way to show their style, but it has also turned into a lucrative business. From their bold to classic styles, the athlete fashion scene is only set to get hotter.
