The PWHL has no dress code and recognizes what it took the NHL decades to learn: letting athletes show personality through fashion has value.
Sports and fashion are not a new combo. NBA players have long been admired for their often effortlessly cool, occasionally ostentatious pre-game walk-in outfits; Serena Williams has appeared on the cover ofthree times; Super Bowl champ Travis Kelce’s city-jock-chic fashion game has only gotten better since his relationship with Taylor Swift went public ; and Rihanna’s long-standing partnership with Puma has resulted in an array of athleisure and sporty sneakers.
Meanwhile, young, hip social-media teams know how to leverage walk-in photos and buzzy events, which are becoming more of a fashion showcase. Just look at Justin Bieber’s giant polka-dot Marni puffer, which he wore when he got behind the bench as a celebrity coach at this past February’s All-Star Game in Toronto. And the athletes would be wise to keep that momentum growing, adds Civian.
To find out what goes into a game-day outfit, we called up stylish members from each of the PWHL’s three Canadian teams to talk about their relationship with fashion, their personal aesthetic and how they approach getting dressed.PWHL Montreal’s Mariah Keopple quickly established herself as a player to watch—both on the ice and as arguably one of the most stylish athletes in the league.
: “I went to Italy last summer, and every time I passed a Prada store, I really wanted to buy one of the headbands. I just think it would complete a lot of my looks, especially because I wear a lot of wide- brimmed hats, and I’ve got to switch it up.”Sarah Nurse can recall the first time she ever had to think about what she wore to her hockey games. She was seven years old and playing on a boys team, and the coach wanted all of the budding athletes to wear suits and ties.
