Russell Wilson, Seattle Seahawks
It comes at no surprise that Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson tops the list of the most fashionable athletes. In 2020, Wilson created his own fashion brand, alongside his wife Ciara, called Good Man Brand. This brand not only encompasses the couples incredible fashion sense, but it emphasizes their passion for charity, as 3% of each purchase is donated to the Why Not You foundation. This foundation focuses on preparing today’s youth to become the next generation of strong and empowered leaders.

DeMarcus Cousins, Houston Rockets
DeMarcus Cousins is not the first player that comes mind when we think of style icons in the NBA, but one thing he does have in his fashion sense is consistency. He keeps all of his outfits fairly minimalistic, yet adds some type of twist with his shoe game. Cousins even signed a multi-year shoe deal with Puma in late 2018.
