You know who Travis Kelce is, right? He is the 6’5 giant of the Kansas City Chiefs, dominating the football field and turning heads with his impeccable style. Often overlooked by those not turned into the NFL scene, Kelce’s fashion finesse is making waves, attracting even the most unlikely admirers.
Before 2023, Kelce’s wardrobe might have gone unnoticed by many. But now? It’s impossible to ignore. While some athletes opt for the classic, clean-cut look, Kelce follows his beat. His diverse mix of influences, from Stefano Pilati and Tom Ford to ’70s Sleaze, are vibes.
Whether you’re a die-hard football fan or a fashion lover, Kelce’s style journey is worth following. So, let’s explore Travis Kelce’s world!
Travis Kelce’s Fashion Evolution
Kelce’s fashion evolution was bitten by the Taylor Swift bug, skyrocketing him to heights of fame. Whether on an N.Y.C. date night with his famous girlfriend or on the field for the Big Game, Kelce’s fashion game is on point. He effortlessly blends highly-coveted sneakers, tailored suiting, flouncy trousers, silky button-ups, flashy prints, and undeniable swag.

While some stars rely on a team of stylists, Kelce curates his wardrobe with pieces from design houses like Jil Sander, Marni, Amiri, Vetements, and Christian Dior. His aesthetic? Playful, campy, oversized, and comfortable, never taking it too seriously.
As Kelce puts it, “I don’t have a stylist. I think the football world is starting to kind of come around to being sic that fashion-forward mentality.”
Keeping Up with Kelce
After witnessing Kelce’s show-stopping performance in a custom Amiri set at the Super Bowl, it’s evident that his style is legitimately cool. Inspired by his fashion, Jonathan Borge, Deputy Editor at InStyle, decided to recreate several of his viral looks. He could not have done it without the help of InStyle Fashion Director Kevin Huynh and partner John Monaco.
For his first raid into Kelce’s fashion, he started with corduroy. He says corduroy is a word he hasn’t heard since elementary school. Channeling Kelce’s vibe, he chose a matching corduroy two-piece set from his clothing brand, Tru Kolors.

He paired the two-piece with sneakers and a simple black tee. While Borge cared more for Swift’s Jean Paul Gaultier mesh top and black leather mini-skirt, Kelce’s monochromatic moment was comfortable and versatile. Moreover, it is suitable for various occasions.
A Dream Versace-Like Shirt
In Borge’s quest to channel Kelce’s fashion flair, he chose a matching khaki UNIQLO set with rose-gold sunglasses from Amazon and Represent sneakers. “I’m often afraid to go with a roomier, cozier fit. So the experience of trying on someone else’s style for size and enjoying it was enlightening,” he said.
He continued, “Kelce’s aesthetic is predominantly oversized and relaxed. And so, wearing this outfit unearthed a new world of boxy-fitting possibilities I hadn’t previously considered. Thanks, @KillaTrav.”
Arriving in Jacksonville for a Chiefs game against the Jaguars, he wore a J. Logan Home shirt made of designer scarves, Amiri trousers, Alessandro Vasini boots, and his signature Bottega Veneta bag. Inspired by this style as well, Borge embarked on another journey.
This time, he wore a similar J.Logan Home shirt paired with Airpods Max headphones, Amazon sunglasses, and trousers and boots from his closet. Despite the challenge of getting pastel pink pants, wearing the silk shirt felt like a breath of fresh air on a sweltering summer day. “I’m a J.Logan Home convert,” Borge said.
The $2,195 Plaid Jacket
In December 2023, Kelce made tongues wag when he rocked the now-sold-out $2,195 The Elder Statesman plaid jacket. That move sparked speculation about a possible nod to Taylor Swift’s Evermore album cover art, which features a similar plaid design.
Fast forward to March 2024, and Ryan Reynolds caused a stir by wearing the same jacket. That caused internet banter about a budding bromance and Kelce’s rising interest in Swift’s music.
“Although plaid is admittedly very much not my thing, I must say, draping this deliciously soft corduroy-cotton jacket over my shoulders felt like hugging a giant teddy bear,” said Borge.
