When the Kansas City Chiefs visited the White House to celebrate their Super Bowl victory on Friday, the team’s emerging sense of fashion took center stage.Travis Kelce, the team’s most renowned player (and America’s most famous boyfriend). He opted for a beige suit from Fear of God, the California label helmed by Jerry Lorenzo. Over the last four years, Lorenzo, a Black designer, has pushed the boundaries of traditional men’s suiting for multiple generations of fashion-forward men.

Kelce effortlessly carried off the double-breasted blazer, its silhouette boxy and bold, exuding the confidence to embrace something unconventional yet strikingly fresh. However, his trousers…oh dear, what happened there? They clung to his legs like stretch chinos, lacking the graceful drape one expects from suit pants. While such a fit might work if the entire suit followed suit, the combination of an oversized jacket with disproportionately snug, perhaps too short trousers, came across as an eccentric style statement rather than a potential redefinition of soft and understated masculinity. One shouldn’t be able to spot his iPhone bulging in his pants pocket.
