Round 1 style roundup: Celtics fashion plays from the NBA postseason
Jaylen Brown dropped an F-bomb at a press conference: Fight. In this roundup, another F-word takes the spotlight: Fashion.
Five games, two wrist bandages, a few scuffles, and one bloody fight later, the Celtics closed out a hard-fought first round against the Orlando Magic.
There were winning plays and winning looks. Here are the top tunnel fashion moments from the round one series that wrapped Tuesday night with the Celtics winning 120-89, completing a 4-1 series victory.
Tennis necklace and a white tank top
Jayson Tatum opened things up with a delicate chain around his neck, sparkling against a simple scoop tee and soft-sleeved cardigan sweater draping his shoulders in a multi-toned gray — a clean aesthetic that conveyed grace and poise to start the series.
All black, but branded
Understated but enterprising in Oakley shades, Jaylen Brown showed off a brand deal that complements the core design element and central ethos of his 741 brand.
Layering pattern and design
Tatum, seen often in jackets, matching sets, and outerwear, wore houndstooth tailored to his 6’9” physique and to the formality of the moment: The win that led his team forward to what’s next.
Honorable mention to NBC Sports Boston sideline reporter Abby Chin and her coat dress — a structured silhouette with a floral design in a charcoal grey. Princesses, political figures, and WFH people alike have opted for flattering coat dresses.
Fancy footwear across the league
Game 1 fell on Easter Sunday and the sneaker choices marked the occasion — whites, yellows, and pinks dominated on the floor. Brown practiced and then played in a crisp pair of 741 White Noise, broken in and battle tested following a successful launch in February.
Tatum rocked a hot pink variety of his namesake Jordan. The colorways are as endless as his closet.
Same day, on another court in the Western Conference matchup between OKC and the Grizzlies, Ja Morant dueled from afar in his own pink kicks.
Suited up for game day
Helping the team sweep up, close out, and move on to Round 2, Kristaps Porzingis came ready to play and win in a signature suit.
