As the year comes to a close, we're looking back on the iconic looks from one of the top trending folks on Google this past year—Travis Kelce.
We're completely geeking out over his fashion sense, from Game Day 'fits to casual nights out—hey, remember when he hit the town sporting a tee from a famous strip club?—so we're digging deep into the nitty gritty of his Instagram feed to find our favorite styles throughout the years.
Seeing as Taylor Swift just recently put him on the map, launching him to viral levels of fame that he has definitely never seen before (wink wink, nudge nudge), we're going all the way back to the beginning. So, here are the best looks, as we proclaim them, in no particular order.
Oh, and just so there's no doubt about it, we know Taylor Swift didn't make Travis Kelce famous. But for anyone who did become a fan thanks to the "Paper Rings" songstress, we did the leg work for you here.
1. This fly button-up.
During the summer of 2021, Kelce uploaded a snap of his just after deplaning, strutting down the tarmac in a white button-up tee with koi fish and koiflies—a word we just made up to describe the koi, butterfly mashups.
2. This statement-making overcoat.
Kelce once paired a blue pair of striped trousers with a pattern-mixing furry coat from art fashion brand Kid Super, which gave picnic blanket and pizza, among other motifs. On the back was the statement, "Fell in love with the Dancer." We love a pattern-mixing king.
3. These pants that were giving drapery.
Shortly after Kelce and Swift were officially linked, fans thought his burnt orange/brown velour pants were an ode to the "Midnight Rain" singer, who had a suspiciously similar set of curtains as the background for a social media series she did ahead of the release of Midnights.
4. This colorful loungewear.
We're dying over this tie-dye, cable-knit set of coordinates, which he covered up with a puffy orange coat and tucked into a similarly-toned pair of work boots.
5. This eco-positive 'fit.
Kelce is clearly a fan of plants, based on this white sweatshirt patterned with greenery in orange pots, which he matched perfectly to his orange shorts.
6. This Blue's Clues cosplay.
The sports star set himself up for an alternate career path when he stepped out in a blue striped sweater and a dark pair of khakis, looking like he'd just stepped out of the television screen, instead.
7. This DIY, Dior coloring book.
We simply have to talk about the black and white linework on this button-up tee and matching shorts, just like something out of an adult coloring book.
8. This tiger sweater that clearly manifested his relationship.
We're not saying Travis Kelce is a mastermind, but this tiger sweater bears a suspicious resemblance to the Gucci sweater Ms. Swift wore during the music video for "Look What You Made Me Do."
Honorable mention to these piano pants:
9. This Schitt's Creek cosplay.
David Rose, who? Travis Kelce made a convincing case to become the heir to Schitt's Creek in a black vest with the collar lined with bolts of lightning.
10. This jacket that has him looking straight out of Harvard Law.
You're telling me this isn't a still from Legally Blonde? This man absolutely went to Harvard Law.
11. This totally happy baggy sweater.
Between the asymmetrical cut, the layered fabrics, and the off-center applique, we're not sure what our favorite part of this top is—we just know that we want one, too.
12. And take your pick of his coordinated suit collection.
He's shown off powder blue suits and checkered purple suits, plus countless patterned blazers and pants.
Honorable mention: this sweatsuit giving off the same vibes.
13. This funky zebra coat.
It's loud, it's luxurious, and it's probably super warm.
14. This Napoleon Dynamite cosplay.
He's so versatile! This American flag 'fit is giving nothing more than Rex from Napoleon Dynamite, and we're obsessed.
15. This cream-colored knit coat with a furry collar.
It's somehow giving both rich old man who smokes tobacco out of his pipe in his private library and middle school girl who lives in her Aeropostale jacket. Which one are you?
