Shop Serge Gnabry's Unlikely Closet Staples for Fall/Winter
Unlikely Closet Staple is made in partnership with MATCHESFASHION. It's a series in which we explore some of the less likely but no less essential aspects of the modern wardrobe.
Football has had a shaky history with fashion. Luckily, though, we’ve come a very long way from the days of Ronaldo’s bootcut jeans. In fact, there are a handful of professional football players ushering in a new era for the sport’s relationship with style. At the forefront of this stylish new revolution is German superstar Serge Gnabry.
After 3 years at Bayern Munich and a stint good enough to earn himself the coveted No. 7 shirt, there’s no doubt that he’s one of the most exciting players in Europe right now. But his off-pitch antics are arguably just as appealing as the on-pitch action: a scroll through Gnabry’s Instagram feed will yield high-end fit pics and footballing snapshots in equal measure.
It’s his style credentials that have caught the eye of MATCHESFASHION. The luxury retailer caught up with Serge Gnabry recently to discuss his unlikely closet staples. From chunky Bottega boots to full-length Lemaire coats, Gnabry’s selection proves that he’s not afraid to stamp his own, unique style on his wardrobe — a mindset that’s opening doors for athlete’s style.
