Quick Summary#

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has become just as known for his pre-game fashion as his performance on the field. Throughout the 2025-26 NFL season, the 36-year-old athlete wore a mix of standout suits, eye-catching hats, sharp jackets, and cool shades. Some of these looks created memorable fashion moments, while others missed the mark entirely.

Kelce's style evolution this season included a blend of bold colors and perfect tailoring, but also featured casual items like shorts and tracksuits that drew mixed reviews. As the season concluded, his outfits reflected both high-end luxury and, at times, questionable choices.

🏆 The Standout Looks: Bold Colors and Tailoring#

Among the season's best looks, Travis Kelce favored bold color palettes and sharp tailoring. One of his most praised outfits occurred during a game against the New York Giants. He arrived wearing a blazer, vest, and trousers all in the same burgundy shade. He paired this with black dress boots, a white undershirt, and a matching pocket square. The look was described as sharp and simple, effectively highlighting his Louis Vuitton luggage. He completed the ensemble with square sunglasses designed by Tom Ford, retailing for $725.

Another top-tier look took place in late October against the Washington Commanders. Kelce wore a three-piece Fendi outfit that included orange jeans with frayed hems, a classic white T-shirt, and a denim jacket painted in shades of white and orange. The boldness of the outfit was complemented by tangerine-colored shades and statement gold necklaces featuring diamond charms.

For a game against the Detroit Lions, Kelce opted for a more understated approach that still screamed luxury. He wore a $1,690 flannel top from Louis Vuitton, khaki pants, white sneakers, and Saint Laurent sunglasses. While not the most eye-catching, this outfit was noted as contemporary and the epitome of quiet luxury. Similarly, for a game against the Los Angeles Chargers, he elevated classic winter pieces. Instead of basic denim and flannel, he wore a $1,790 tweed Amiri top, textured cargo pants from Diesel, and a $595 Guest In Residence hoodie.

"Either it hits me quick, or I gotta take some time."

❌ The Missed Marks: Shorts and Costumes#

Despite his successes, Travis Kelce also had outfits that failed to hit the mark. Near the start of the season, prior to a game against the Philadelphia Eagles, he wore a look that was heavily criticized. While the top half featured a perfectly tailored blue Thom Browne jacket, a matching tie, and a white undershirt, the bottom half was a mismatch. He styled the formal jacket with tight-fitting shorts that reached his thighs. These bottoms were considered too casual and did not match his dark dress shoes. He accessorized with a $1,035 pair of Dita sunglasses, but the shorts ruined the formal aesthetic.

In October 2025, ahead of a game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Kelce attempted a transitional fall look that missed the mark. He wore khaki pants, a $2,650 Alfre button-up top from J. Logan Home, a brown suede jacket, and tan suede boots. While the suede duffel bag worked, the suede newsboy cap he wore dated the look. The overall outfit was compared to a costume rather than a fashion statement.

Another forgettable look occurred when the Chiefs played the Las Vegas Raiders in October. Kelce entered Arrowhead Stadium wearing skinny black trousers, a striped collared shirt, and a cropped leather jacket. Although the top half and sunglasses worked, the skinny pants were the wrong choice; a baggier style would have improved the silhouette. Later, in November against the Indianapolis Colts, he wore a '90s-inspired Nike windbreaker with matching pants and Air Jordan sneakers. Despite stylish accessories, the dark color and minimal design made the outfit forgettable.

🖤 The Season Finale: All Black at Allegiant#

The final game of the season saw Travis Kelce at Allegiant Stadium on January 4, facing the Las Vegas Raiders. For this occasion, he wore an all-black ensemble that was described as simple, effective, and a bit somber. The outfit consisted of black sweatpants, a matching jacket with sequined pockets, a gray T-shirt, and Louis Vuitton boots. He also carried a duffel bag from the designer brand.

The somber tone of the outfit mirrored the uncertainty surrounding Kelce's future in the sport. Following the game, he spoke to reporters about his timeline for a retirement decision. "Either it hits me quick, or I gotta take some time," he said. He added that the decision to return for the 2025 season "was a little bit easier."

Conclusion#

The 2025-26 NFL season highlighted Travis Kelce's willingness to take risks with his pre-game wardrobe. From the sharp tailoring of a burgundy three-piece suit to the casual mismatch of shorts with a dress jacket, Kelce's style is eclectic. Whether wearing high-end pieces from Louis Vuitton and Fendi or attempting a dated suede look, his outfits consistently generated conversation. As the season ended with a somber all-black look, his fashion choices remained a parallel to his athletic journey—sometimes bold, sometimes simple, but always a statement.

"The decision to return for the 2025 season was a little bit easier."

2025, third hottest year on record

According to an EU climate monitor, 2025 ranked as the third hottest year on record, with no significant cooling expected this year. In its annual report, the Copernicus Climate Change Service said the past 11 years have been the warmest ever recorded, with 2024 the hottest and 2023 close behind. Developing countries are especially vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, as many populations lack adequate protection from flooding, wildfires, and extreme heat. In India, 2025 saw the warmest winter in more than a century, according to the national meteorological department. France24 correspondent Navodita Kumari tells us more.

Ex-Meta principal engineer shares 4 strategies to avoid being an underperformer

Adrien Friggeri said that expectations are "tighter" in the tech industry than they were a decade ago. Adrien Friggeri Adrien Friggeri worked at Meta for over 10 years. He made it to the rank of principal software engineer. Friggeri shared four tips for avoiding low performance in the tech industry with Business Insider. "Compared with 10 years ago, there is less organizational 'slack' and expectations tend to be tighter," he wrote. Silicon Valley is raising its standards for talent. Adrien Friggeri spent over a decade combined at Meta — including back when it was called Facebook — with stints at Michael Bloomberg's Hawkfish and Clubhouse as well. Now, he works as a partner software engineer at Microsoft, according to his LinkedIn profile. The consequences of underperforming are "more drastic" now than they were 10 years ago, Friggeri said on "The Peterman Pod." In an email to Business Insider, Friggeri wrote that there is less "organizational 'slack'" and higher expectations for tech employees. "That means performance gaps are identified and addressed faster, and if someone is not meeting clearly defined expectations over time, the path to a formal performance-management process (and potentially a role change or exit) can be shorter than it used to be," Friggeri wrote. Meta has been especially strict with its performance expectations. The tech giant laid off roughly 3,600 employees in February, labeling them low performers. There are also benefits to being above the pack. Meta is introducing higher bonuses for top performers, Business Insider reported on Monday. In his email, Friggeri clarified that the trend was not specific to Meta. Rather, it was industry-wide and reflected the state of the market. Meta did not respond to a request for comment. Friggeri shared four tips with Business Insider to stay ahead and avoid underperformance. 1.) Workers should make expectations explicit. "Align with your manager on priorities and what 'great' looks like for the next 30/60/90 days," Friggeri wrote. 2.) Employees should seek out feedback. They shouldn't wait for review cycles, Friggeri wrote. Feedback should be sought out "early and often." 3.) Focus on "visible, high-leverage work." "Pick projects tied to clear outcomes and communicate progress, risks, and tradeoffs," he wrote. 4.) Keep investing in your skills Friggeri wrote that employees should "treat learning as part of the job, especially as teams and priorities shift." On the podcast, Friggeri advocated for being independent and building new projects — and not being silent about them. It's not helpful to "lock yourself in a room," build for three months, and show up with the finished product. "Overcommunicate is really the strategy I would recommend," he said.
