NFL star Travis Kelce has been making waves not just on the field, but also with his flamboyant fashion choices, which have sparked a mix of intrigue and criticism. Recently, style expert Amanda Sanders weighed in on Kelce’s wardrobe, calling out his choices as “sloppy” and “laughable.” The fashion consultant claims that Kelce’s outfits often miss the mark, comparing some of his looks to those of a “70s playboy” and suggesting that he “needs to reign in the colors.”
Fashion Criticism: Sloppy and Oversized
Kelce, known for his bold, oversized outfits, has become a topic of debate since his relationship with pop star Taylor Swift began. His wardrobe choices have drawn attention, but Sanders believes that while Kelce is trying to be stylish, the results are often ill-fitting and unflattering.
“Some of his outfits are laughable, very oversized, which tends to look sloppy,” Sanders said. She added that Kelce’s attempt to emulate the style of rap stars or other athletes doesn’t always translate well, especially for someone of his build. “Here is a huge white guy, so a lot of the things he picks to wear do not translate to a Midwestern football player.”
The “70s Playboy” Look
One of the most notable critiques from Sanders was Kelce’s choice to sport facial hair, specifically a mustache, which she described as reminiscent of a “70s porn star or playboy.” While Kelce’s rugged look is often associated with a fun and carefree personality, Sanders believes his overall style would benefit from a more polished approach.
“He could be much more pulled together if he worked with somebody properly,” Sanders stated, suggesting that Kelce needs to refine his style and seek professional help to tailor his clothes to suit his body.
Ill-Fitted Clothes and Poor Tailoring
According to Sanders, Kelce’s ill-fitted pants are another major fashion flaw. She pointed out that the oversized pants he often wears make his legs appear “a bit short and stubby.” She advised that Kelce should invest in better tailoring to ensure his clothes fit properly and enhance his physique, rather than detracting from it.
“Travis looks a bit shorter and stubbier. He needs to reign in the colors or at least have them for the appropriate time and place,” Sanders explained. She also suggested that Kelce should mix up his outfits and wear pieces that can be styled separately for a more flattering and versatile look.
The Need for a Styling Team
Despite spending money on high-end designer labels, Sanders believes that Kelce’s lack of fashion education has led to some missteps in his wardrobe choices. She argued that Kelce’s frame, being 6’5″ and weighing 260 pounds, makes shopping for off-the-rack clothing a challenge, which may explain why he often opts for oversized or ill-fitting pieces.
“Travis is not fashion-educated and is not going on what looks good for him,” Sanders said. “He’s trying to emulate looks that may not work for his shape and size.”
Sanders emphasized that while Kelce’s efforts to experiment with his wardrobe are admirable, he would benefit from working with a stylist who could help him hone his personal style and create a wardrobe that’s both stylish and flattering.
A Call for Better Tailoring and Haircuts
Beyond clothing, Sanders also suggested that Kelce could improve his overall look by opting for a cooler haircut. She noted that his current look, which seems to be buzzed by himself, is “a bit dated” and could benefit from a more modern, polished style.
Despite these critiques, Sanders acknowledged that Kelce’s fashion sense comes from a place of fun and experimentation, saying, “He is comfortable in his skin, which is awesome, and he is trying out different looks because he is fun.” Sanders also noted that Kelce’s glasses are a standout accessory in his look, giving him some style credit.
The Brown Suit Controversy
One of Kelce’s more infamous fashion choices was the brown suit he wore on Saturday Night Live (SNL). Sanders did not hold back, calling the suit “terrible” and a major misstep in his style evolution. She believes Kelce should focus on wearing well-tailored clothes and mixing them up to create looks that flatter his physique.
Conclusion: A Fun Fashion Experiment
While Travis Kelce may not be winning any fashion awards just yet, it’s clear that he’s having fun with his wardrobe. Whether or not he takes Sanders’ advice remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure: Kelce is never afraid to take risks when it comes to his style. As his relationship with Taylor Swift continues to keep him in the spotlight, fans are likely to see even more of his fashion experimentation—whether it’s praised or critiqued.
