The last few decades have seen us all become used to using our favourite film and movie stars as inspiration for formalwear. Everyone has taken to a red carpet or a wedding somewhere in a suit inspired by some kind of A-list fashion icon. But in recent years, an entirely new subset of style heavyweights has emerged: the superstar athlete.
Whether in the NFL, NBA or Formula 1, the pre-game fit has become an essential tool by which athletes make statements, and with them generally being more casual than what you'd see at a black-tie event, it means you can apply these style cues to your own wardrobe.
Here are four of the most stylish athletes you should be taking inspo from.

Shai Gilgous-Alexander
Voted the most stylish player in the world's most stylish sporting league, the NBA, by GQ this year, SGA is on track not just to become one of the greats of the game, but one of its most enduring style icons. Whether he's laying puffer vests over hoodies, Canadian tuxedos over a suit or tie or rocking up to the arena in a fur coat, the Oklahoma City Thunder star knows how to make every outfit memorable.

Lewis Hamilton
In the past few years, especially since his link-up with superstar stylist Law Roach, Lewis Hamilton's Grand Prix weekend outfits have become as much must-watch moments as the races he competes in. Usually drenched in truly unattainable high fashion, when the seven-time world champion does dress things down a bit, he's invariably still big and bold in his approach: something we could all use a little more of in our lives.

Joe Burrow
NFL prodigy Joe Burrow didn't just take his team to a Super Bowl in his first season: he established himself as one of its most stylish stars in the process, emerging from the cocoon of a clean-cut college boy to embrace multi-coloured suits, loud puffer jackets and Anastasia-era sunglasses.

Take your cues from Joe and tone down the formal scale by styling your suit with a pair of fresh kicks.

Josh Giddey
Australia's own Josh Giddey underwent one of the most dramatic and eye-catching transformations in NBA history during his rookie year. Entering the league as the quintessential ideal of the gangly Aussie 'basketball kid', he's taken cues from his OKC team-mates to emerge as a shock contender for the NBA's most stylish player. The reason? He likes to keep things chic: layering monochrome staples and occasionally throwing in statement pieces (see his knee-length blue fur coat for all the proof you need.)
