For the most part, Stephen Curry excels at whatever he attempts. Breaking the all-time three-point mark and winning four rings, two MVPs, and nine All-Star appearances, he single-handedly altered the nature of basketball. A day after making a hole-in-one, he sank a walk-off eagle to win a celebrity golf event this past weekend. And in the midst of a packed stadium concert, Drake stopped to chat with fans offstage since he is such an innately lovely person. So it was always disarmingly humanizing that Steph was more like the rest of us when it came to clothes, particularly in comparison to the other guys in this ridiculously fashionable crop of NBA players. At least, such was the situation up until this particular week.
Because on Tuesday, when Stephen Curry was in New York to promote his recently released Apple TV+ documentary, he: Underappreciated, Curry executed one of the most unusual clothing feats, known in these parts as a Harry Styles Hat Trick: three scorching fits in a single 24-hour period.The Happie Bleue
Wearing an ultra-slouchy pair of pants from LA’s Second/Layer and a clean white shirt from The Row, he started the day on the Upper West Side. Then he showed up to the Today Show in Midtown wearing a devine Issey Miyake pleated tracksuit. And then he turned up in Tribeca sporting a huge pair of black boots and a sick tweed jacket from READYMADE x Denim Tears. Three very diverse moods, all executed with panache worthy of Mike Breen’s “BANG!!!”Stylist Jason Bolden, who also works with players like Dwyane Wade and Michael B. Jordan, has been lending Curry some style advice lately, but what makes these three outfits so amazing is that they don’t seem completely apart from the way the Golden State star was previously dressed. Yes, they are more refined, sophisticated, and thoughtful than the clothes he usually dons when waiting to enter the tunnel before a game.
However, the attire ultimately still has a Steph vibe about it—it’s straightforward, tidy, and effortless like his shooting technique. It serves as a useful reminder that getting dressed better doesn’t have to involve stepping too far outside of your comfort zone. With a little adjustment to your fit here and a bit more texture there, you too can quickly go from being underestimated to being unstoppable.
