Travis Kelce, 34, enjoys taking his time when it comes to selecting his game day attire. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal on Monday, October 16, he shared that he relies on instinct to choose his outfit. Kelce spends a minimum of three hours carefully selecting the perfect ensemble before entering the Kansas City Chiefs locker room. He explained that he finds joy in the creative process of last-minute outfit creation, reveling in the excitement and urgency it brings.
The Chiefs' tight end shared that his main criterion for choosing clothes is to "bring a smile to someone's face." Kelce mentioned that not every outfit appeals to everyone, and he is not bothered if someone compares his look to that of a clown when he wears a fun hat and eccentric jeans. He embraces the idea of having fun with his fashion choices.
Kelce's fashion-forward style is consistently the talk of the town prior to every Kansas City Chiefs game, particularly with his impeccably tailored two-piece outfits. In a September 2021 interview with Complex magazine, Kelce expressed his belief that the football world is embracing a more fashion-forward mindset. With game days spanning 16 to 18 weeks each year, he explained that there is an almost palpable anticipation for these major moments, similar to walking the red carpet every single week.
He continued by mentioning the dress code in Kansas City, where business casual attire is required for away games. Full jeans and a T-shirt are not allowed. This dress code adds a touch of formality to the week-to-week and regular-season games in the NFL. Being part of this environment has been an enjoyable experience for him.
Kelce and his wardrobe have been making headlines recently due to his new relationship with Taylor Swift.
Speculation about their romance began when Swift, 33, attended Kelce's Kansas City Chiefs game in September. Following the game, Kelce and the "Lavender Haze" singer were seen leaving the locker room together. Notably, the football player was dressed in a unique blue and white outfit with an abstract painted design depicting nude female figures. This daring fashion choice perfectly matched the colors of Swift's upcoming album, 1989 (Taylor's Version). The ensemble, originally known as the "Bedroom Painting Denim Jacket" by KidSuper Studios, has since been renamed the "1989 Bedroom Painting Denim Jacket."
The couple was seen getting cozy together later that night, but it wasn't until nearly a month later that they made their first public appearance.
Swift and Kelce were seen holding hands in New York on Saturday, October 14, following their guest appearances on Saturday Night Live. Kelce wore a cream-colored jacket with blue bird designs on the front, paired with brown slacks. Swift looked stunning in a black corset top, black trousers, and a plaid coat.
