Millions of fans flock to sports stadiums, watch ESPN or buy the latest Sports Illustrated just to keep up-to-date with the athletes they idolize. The athletes tear up the competition in play, but off the field some dress better than one might ever expect, and they deserve as much respect as a Heisman trophy. It was hard to pick the best as there are so many good dressers out there so here are just some of the best-dressed athletes from a wide range of sports:
Maria Sharapova: Tennis
This Russian blonde bombshell kills it on the court and in her closet. As a Nike-sponsored athlete, Sharapova broadcasts her fashion pieces from the brand while playing, yet never ceases to amaze at off-court events. Maxim rated her the hottest athlete four years in a row. She’s also graced many magazine covers while modeling in ads for Cole Haan, Canon, and Tiffany & Co.
Dwyane Wade: NBA Basketball
Dwyane Wade is “a sharp-dressed man,” as NBC San Diego called him in a photomontage. This NBA superstar continuously gains recognition as a polished dresser who takes fashion risks, often adding pops of color or a fedora to his ensemble. Crowned as Forbes’ “Fashion Avant Guard,” Wade surely dresses to impress.
Danica Patrick: NASCAR
For a sport known for its stereotypical fans and correlating attire, Danica Patrick surely stands out among her competition. With beautiful, brunette locks and a body that only gets better with fewer clothes, she’s a showstopper at formal events and even graced the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition.
Tom Brady: NFL, Football
It’s Tom Brady. Do I even have to continue? This NFL legendary quarterback looks just as good off the field. Gracing continuous magazine covers such as GQ, Sports Ilustrated and Esquire, Brady is stalked for his throwback casual style, but he looks equally dashing in a suit. If that didn’t convince you, he’s married to super model Gisele Bundchen.
David Beckham: Soccer
Similar to Brady, if you don’t know who David Beckham is, you may be living under a rock. This British stud only grows in popularity for his European style in America, and his even-more-stylish wife Victoria Beckham. Aside from posing for various designers such as Armani, he also just released the launch of his own underwear line at H&M (Super Bowl commercial anyone?).
