After spending over a decade in the NFL, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins has established himself as one of the most stylish players in the league. Known for his knack for effortlessly mixing sportswear and suiting, Hopkins is one to watch during his tunnel walks and red carpet appearances.
In a February 3 interview with Billboard, Hopkins talked about the role fashion plays in professional sports noting that displaying his style during his tunnel walks gives him a chance to show fans more of his personality off the field.
“When people think of football players, they think tough or mean, and guys that tackle,” he said. “Then they see a different perspective of us wearing cool things, and I think it gives us a certain light that allows the audience to appreciate us more as people.”
On January 31, Hopkins teamed up with boohooMAN to drop a collection of affordable and chic capsule wardrobe pieces for men inspired by his effortless sophistication.
“All the pieces are easily wearable. Nothing crazy — very versatile,” he told Billboard. “I got some matching tonal silk sets in there. I got a little bomber jacket, which I feel like is the hero piece. I wanted to make things affordable because growing up I couldn’t afford the craziest things.”
As Hopkins and his teammates prepare to face off against the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl, we take a little time to appreciate some of his best looks of the field.
