Another year, another turn about the sun, and another season of Lewis Hamilton getting fits off. It’s very on-brand for a seven-time World Champion to continue his hustle off-track, but at this point, he’s single-handedly making Formula 1 one of the most stylish sports in the game. While other drivers are content with sporting the team drip—branded tee, jeans, the top half of a boiler suit tied, all casual-like, around the waist—the Mercedes driver hunts for finer goods. He’s cosying up in Zegna cashmere and crimson Prada sneakers. He’s wearing a tux Canadian-style in tie-dyed Off-White denim. He’s skirting the FIA dress code in Tiffany & Co., because if you’re going to break some rules, you might as well do it in diamonds.

Being the sportsman he is, the F1 driver's looks often reference athleisure. Fresh combinations include bowling shirts and longline shorts worn with hi-tops, plunging necklines and tie-dye cargo pants, and the most mind-blowing trick of all: matching the colour of his watch-face to his socks. What can we say? The man’s unbeatable. Sunglasses are another staple of Hamilton’s wardrobe. He’s all too aware of the simple polish a pair can add to an outfit, and throws his shade in eye-catching statement shapes: Prada Symboles, LuckyDiors and Louis Vuitton speed dealers.

What’s most impressive about Hamilton’s sense of style is the way he makes each piece entirely his own. On the runway, a Rick Owens vest and a Prada gingham coat might look like they’re intended for different people, but Hamilton proves that style isn’t as simple as goth or business casual. At the end of the day, clothing isn’t about executing the designer’s vision, but using that vision for personal ends. This is what Hamilton comes back to, no matter who he wears before his Grands Prix—that contemporary, streetwear-inflected elegance that has become his visual identity.
