Including power players from the nineties to today’s brightest young all-stars, these athletes prove that swinging hard with style always scores big.

Baggy silhouettes, bold color and timeless simplicity became as iconic as his signature Jumpman logo itself. Add that million-dollar smile into the mix and there’s no stopping Jordan’s enduring energy.

Dennis Rodman
Another basketball legend, Dennis Rodman’s style is best described as bold, a bit dangerous and impossible to ignore. Rodman became a global phenomenon known for his constantly changing hair color paired with a bountiful amount of eye-catching accessories. His fashion has always been as rebellious and expressive as the versatility and finesse that made him one of the greatest power forwards to ever play the game.

Serena Williams
Placing confidence front and center with nearly every move she makes, Serena Williams’ sartorial story knows no limits. Williams’ style icon status was cemented during the 2018 U.S. Open, when she debuted a number of Off-White skirts created in partnership with late designer and her dear friend, Virgil Abloh. Whether she’s serving as a chair member for the Met Gala, stepping centerstage in NikeSKIMS debut collection, or taking her first steps onto the court, Williams elevates each moment in true GOAT fashion.

Angel Reese
Women’s professional basketball is having a big moment and Angel Reese knows it. Reese serves up bold looks with the same athletic poise she brings each game day in the WNBA tunnel — think statement pieces, glam details and plenty of attitude. The athletic maven also boasts the title of the first athlete to walk the iconic Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. If main-character energy had a wardrobe, it would undoubtedly look a lot like hers. Especially on her multiple covers of Vogue.

Travis Kelce
Travis Kelce is famous for many, many reasons. The most unlikely of those is his keen ability to put together an ensemble. Kelce isn’t afraid to don colorful and printed pieces, explore tailoring here and there, or embrace a relaxed sentiment in the company of his wife, Taylor Swift. With an official Tommy Hilfiger ambassador title and starring in the brand’s new viral campaign, Kelce is making unstoppable strides both in and off-season.
