    Naturally discreet, the young player from the French national team and FC Barcelona expresses his personality through his flamboyant looks. Each public appearance is akin to a fashion show, catching the eye of London’s Outlander magazine, which named him the Most Stylish Man of 2023. The footballer has a knack for perfectly blending current fashion with archival pieces. Among his favorite brands are Louis Vuitton, Prada, Y-3, and Comme des Garçons, often accentuated by his Oakley Romeos. In a GQ interview, he listed these iconic shades among his essentials, notably for their versatility with his numerous outfits.

    The basketball player is a game leader, an MVP, a paragon of impeccable style, and the creator of his own clothing brand: Honor the Gift. For this fashion-enthused athlete, the move into apparel design was a natural one. His offbeat fashion sense provides an additional spectacle for NBA and style aficionados. His strength? Elevating pieces from his line with sharp references from Acne, Loewe, or Off-White, always with Converse on his feet and Chimi glasses perched on his nose. Westbrook recently shared with Vanity Fair that these Scandinavian frames are a staple in his wardrobe.

    He’s a pioneer, one of the first to fuse fashion with football. This status brought him criticism from sports commentators and fans who felt he should spend more time training than tending to his style. Beckham dismissed this outdated view with a wave of his hand, never ceasing to play with fashion and becoming a trendsetting reference. Now, he’s frequently spotted in the front row at his wife Victoria Beckham’s fashion shows, epitomizing “quiet luxury” with his ultra-chic style. When it comes to eyewear, he exclusively dons designs from his own line, simply named Eyewear by David Beckham.

    The Formula 1 driver impresses not just on the track. As soon as he steps out of his racing suit, he reveals outfits that all fashion aficionados scrutinize and comment on. Why? Because he defies conventions, experimenting with trends, shapes, colors, textures, and patterns. Just like in his car, there are no limits in his wardrobe. He might spotlight pieces from luxury labels like Rick Owens, Versace, or Gucci, or promote niche brands such as Daily Paper, ERL, and 3.Paradis. For eyewear, he’s a devotee of Police, Bottega Veneta, Lexxola, and Nanushka, which here enhance his Umit Benan ensemble.

    Another Beckham shines on the American football fields. A true star stateside, his popularity transcends borders with his statement-making style that captivates all. From impeccably tailored suits to snake-print pants, floral sets, or leather pieces, elevated here by Prada, he dares to wear it all! His most unforgettable outfit might be from the 2019 Met Gala, where he turned heads in a sleeveless suit jacket and kilt by Thom Browne.

    Unusual in sports, the Spanish international is known more for his fashion impact than his football skills. This is thanks to his features on magazine covers like GQ, his runway walks for Louis Vuitton, and his front-row presence at fashion shows. He draws the paparazzi with a mastered style, combining vintage clothes with modern elements from collections by Gucci, Adidas, Prada, and even H&M. The famous Swedish company even collaborated with him on a unique range. To accessorize, he chooses glasses from Oakley, Thierry Lasry, or, as seen here, Chanel.
