Dwyane Wade Capri pants

Yes, Dwyane Wade really showed up to Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals between the Miami Heat and Chicago Bulls wearing that outfit. Wade certainly pushes the limits when it comes to his postseason fashion choices, and this was no different. Capri pants, loafers, a double-breasted jacket, patterned suit, and some phony glasses. I think he forgot his ascot and pipe at home.

In the image below, you can get a closer look at his sockless, short pants look:

Carmelo Anthony went a little overboard with his latest foray into the fashion world.

Following the Knicks’ 110-106 loss to the Chicago Bulls on Friday, Melo wore the military-style hat, jacket, and shirt seen above. He generally looked like a funky version of M. Bison, or the next villain in a James Bond movie.

Melo was ejected from the game after drawing his second technical foul for swatting at Joakim Noah. Nothing says “I’m a tough guy” quite like sporting that outfit.

Hey, at least this was better than his purple Joker outfit from 2009.

Here’s video of Melo after the game:

Mike Rozier isn’t one of the more notable Heisman Trophy winners in history, but those born after he won it in 1983 sure know who he is now thanks to the suit he was rocking on Saturday.

The former Nebraska running back chose to sport a pimp hat and double-patterned suit. Pimp hats already garner enough attention on their own, but then you have to factor in Rozier’s bizarre suit choice to get the whole feeling of his hideous look. His suit jacket started with a criss-crossing pattern, and then it changed to the traditional solid color look around the midsection.

I guess we should consider this outfit to be perfect for those who cannot make up their minds. What a fashion tragedy.

Dwyane Wade has taken many bold fashion steps over the past few years ever since hiring a consultant to dress him. He’s worn the pointless nerd glasses, color-coordinated his finger wraps with his ties, and he even painted his toe nails. Maybe his most notable look was the hot pink pants he wore during the playoffs.

Coming in a close second are the super-skinny pants he wore on a recent team flight.

Heat teammate LeBron James was so struck by the pants that he shared a picture of them on Twitter and Instagram, saying Wade was “taking fashion to a whole new level with these pants.”

What do you think? Is Wade setting a fashion trend or is this a look he should ditch? I know what my answer is: toss em!

The Reds have a crucial Game 5 of the NLDS upcoming against the Giants on Thursday afternoon, and Brandon Phillips looked ready for it on Wednesday night despite his team’s loss. After San Francisco defeated Cincinnati 8-3 to even the series at 2-2, Phillips rocked his Ray Ban sunglasses while talking to reporters.

Some of you may think this a good look, but others will probably point to the fact that Phillips was wearing his sunglasses at night, was indoors and was trying to make a fashion statement after a loss. Until he starts wearing gnarly jean jackets and ridiculous shoes to his press conferences after playoff games (win or lose), the Reds second baseman will not be on Russell Westbrook’s level. But wearing Ray Ban’s at a completely inappropriate time is certainly a start.

It is a well-known fact throughout the tennis world that players must wear white on the court when competing at Wimbledon. The strict dress code is an old English tradition, and Andre Agassi even skipped the tournament several times when he was younger because he refused to comply with the “predominantly white” policy. Earlier this week, Victoria Azarenka took to the practice court wearing the yellow t-shirt you see above to prepare for her match against Serena Williams. The rules apparently apply to practice rounds as well, and tournament officials forced her to change into the shirt you see below.

This NBA postseason, the postgame pressers have almost become more about player fashion rather than the actual comments and insights being made.

Glassesfish hooks, matching turquoise finger wraps, more glassessparkles and, of course, even more glasses. Obviously, with Russell Westbrook alone, it’s getting to be too much.

Even Conan O’Brien recognizes this shift toward the pages of Banana Republic and Lacoste catalogs. So, Conan decided to lampoon the growing trend of players becoming unlikely fashionistas with a bit on his talk show Monday night. And it was superb:

This is really funny and all, Conan, but just hope you didn’t give Westbrook any more ideas.
