Fresh to death, dressed to impress. Fresh for real, dressed to kill.
That's the plan for likely top-10 pick and future NBA All-Star All-Style participant Justise Winslow, who is not taking his look for the 2015 NBA Draft on Thursday lightly.
Not only is Winslow thinking long and hard about his outfit, he's enlisting the help of experts. He's hired a celebrity hairstylist and grooming expert, he told Marc Spears of Yahoo Sports, and a recent visit with GQ has helped plan his Duke-inspired suit.
"A lot of different shades of blue that complement each other pretty well," Winslow said of the outfit.
While he's getting help, that doesn't mean Winslow is going to be getting too flashy. Asked about some of the flashier draft suits of lore, always a fun side-story, Winslow was clear that he's "more of a simple, subtler guy," and that he doesn't expect to wear anything eye-popping.
That could be because anyone checking Winslow out head-to-toe may not get as far as his clothes.
"My hair, I think that's the signature item," Winslow said. "There is not much I do to it at all. It's sort of natural. But it's sort of my trademark, I guess."
Most other prospects have been pretty quiet about what they'll be wearing. Usually by this time during draft week, at least a couple of prospects have provided sneak peeks at their patterns, fabrics, or themes. It may seem a silly thing to focus on for what could be the biggest night of many of these players' lives, but it's important to be at their best.
"Look good, feel good," Winslow said.
Stunt on 'em, Justise.
