The most stylish NBA basketball players

stylist, personal style expert, TV presenter

“Today clothes are not just a set of things, but an important tool for creating an image. This is especially true for public people. Famous athletes are no exception. Someone pays more attention to creating their own style, someone less. Some do it better, some worse. I propose to analyze the fashion experiments of those who have already gained the fame of the most stylish. We focus on NBA basketball players”.

There is a common opinion – when you don’t know what to wear, choose black, you won’t go wrong. I assume that’s what Bol Bol was thinking when he created this look. A pantsuit is also a “win-win”. Most likely, the bow was made by him personally, not by his stylist.

The plus side of the image is the skillful combination of a pantsuit with a turtleneck. Minus – the silhouette of the SLIM suit is too tight. Visually, due to the monochrome solution, the player’s height becomes even higher. Usually such techniques are used when there is a task to add height and make the figure slimmer. In this case there are no such tasks.

It was necessary to bet on a looser cut and a mix of colors. For example, choose a turtleneck of green, milky or dark brown shade. The same color should be repeated in the shoes. So the image would turn out more interesting, and the proportions of Bol Bol Bol would look more organic.

My personal applause here. A layered, multi-textured, luxurious and incredibly organic look. An experienced stylist clearly had their hand and talent here. I believe that celebrities of such rank can and should turn to professionals.

In this image today you can go to the most important social and fashion events. Even publications such as Vogue, in this case, there will be nothing to pick on.

Why. Layering is a complex technique based on the play of lengths and proportions. Everything here is flawless. Multifaceted (leather, suit fabric and tweed) is a difficult combination. Here everything looks as organic as possible. Black and white solution “calms down” the image. If color were added to this ensemble, it would be too much.

Accessories and shoes perfectly complement the outfit, emphasizing its relevance here and now.

It would seem that the black and white look is not banal either. But something went wrong… The shape of sneakers and metallized leather inserts seem to be taken from a completely different story. Alas, it reads right off the bat. I would suggest opting for boots or dainty sneakers in black.

What other mistakes did Russell Westbrook make? There are as many as three elements that are accent pieces in this look: the sneakers, the pants, and the bag. They are not from the same aesthetic and are not “friends” with each other.

If you want to create a spectacular image, it is better to choose one main accent. For example, it could be white pants with black vertical stripes. They should be complemented with calm black: shirt, shoes and bag.

When there are many different stories mixed in the bow, you get a feeling of an incongruous and strange image. It’s not about style anymore.

“Everything perfect is simple,” German designer Gilles Sander once said. And that’s exactly the case here. The impeccable (and current) fit of the garment emphasizes that the athlete is fashion-conscious. It is harmonious for his figure and height. Everything is perfect. This is an especially important attribute for a sense of flawlessness in an image. The use of light shades in the image adds a note of relaxed chic. No complicated shapes or designs. There’s nothing to pick on.

Lou Dort.

Lou looks as on-trend as possible. The perfect solution for a public person’s everyday outing – the loose fit, shades and aesthetics of each piece are in tune with each other. All the chosen colors are “friendly”. Super!

Minus one point for the cosmetic bag. Unless, of course, it was intended as part of the look. Its small print is not coordinated with the scale of patterns on other elements of the bow. Better to replace it with a white backpack with an accent keychain.

Devin Booker

Here everything is a little on the edge: naive embroidery on a pullover, shorts, high black socks combined with black boots. It’s a risky look. But somehow you get the feeling that the intention here was to be a little freaky. This is also evident in the look of his companion, popular model Kendall Jenner.

As a stylist, I am well aware of the importance of adhering to the dress code at an event. But if you consider a bow outside the social outing… It is better to choose one main accent in the image and not to be atomized.

Let’s say it was a pullover. It should be combined with black pants. The look would be more harmonious.

LeBron James

The original pantsuit of an interesting cut is not overloaded with details and looks luxurious. That’s a plus. The fit of it is impeccable. Also, interesting shoes “under the tuxedo” are added to the image. That is also great, because it adds points to the outfit for originality.

Charisma is also supported by a white longsleeve, worn under the jacket, and a light choker. Against the background of the black suit, everything looks organic and moderately unconventional. The rating is five out of five absolutely. The basketball player skillfully observes the dress code of the event. He looks appropriate and chic. At the same time shows his individuality. These are the main tasks of personal style.
