Federer Named Among SI’s ‘Fashionable 50’

Roger Federer has been named to Sports Illustrated’s Fashionable 50, joining the likes of Serena Williams, LeBron James, David Beckham and Tom Brady on the inaugural list. 

SI wrote: “Tennis’s Swiss star and 17-time Grand Slam champion may have a colorful, garish look during matches, but Federer’s fun Nike kits allow him to settle in off the court and serve as a contrasting partner to his classic off-duty style. Federer’s choices are not cookie cutter or overly basic—you won’t see him in khaki pants with a blue blazer with gold buttons—but his looks are welcoming, simplistic and appeal to many different personalities. His partnerships with brands such as Rolex also influence his luxe, modern look. Federer’s involvement with the Jordan brand is groundbreaking and the shoes, made in collaboration with Michael Jordan, are a highly sought-after exclusive sneaker.”

A panel consisting of Sports Illustrated editors, sports and fashion experts came together to select the world’s most stylish athletes, taking into consideration such factors as their attire, endorsements, designer collaborations and social media presence.

The New York Giants’ Victor Cruz came in at No. 1 on the list, with Russell Westbrook, LeBron James, Serena Williams and Henrik Lundqvist rounding out the Top 5.
