'Fly is fly': Inside the WNBA's thriving fashion scene
LOS ANGELES — Clothes blanket Jewell Loyd's perfectly made king-sized hotel bed. Black pants, charcoal pants, striped shorts, a long white jacket that looks like a high-fashion lab coat next to a light gray zip-up. A white, short-sleeved button down top decorated with red poppy flowers screams in the center.
"What are we feeling?" stylist Sydney Bordonaro asks Loyd.
On any given day, WNBA players can offer a wide array of answers to the simple question. They're feeling cozy. Sometimes swaggy. Other times sexy.
Always ready.
Loyd is feeling "mafia in the summer" as she looks at herself in the mirror dressed in black pinstripe pants, the red floral shirt she hesitantly grew to like and low-top Dior x Air Jordan 1 sneakers that retail for more than $8,000. She's only worn them once, but this outfit is for a special occasion: the WNBA All-Star Game.
The Seattle guard walked the orange carpet in her prized sneakers on Friday as the WNBA gathered in Chicago for All-Star
