Lewis Hamilton’s year of VERY outlandish outfits! F1 champion turned heads in clashing prints, garish suits and designer jeans (and they definitely weren’t all winners)
- British F1 driver Lewis Hamilton, 35, is well known for his bold fashion choices
- Steps out in metallic suits, garish colour block outfits and plenty of prints
- Daring approach to fashion has landed him on international best dressed list
There is no doubting Lewis Hamilton‘s talent on the track – but his outlandish outfit choices are far more divisive.
The seven-time world champion, 35, today made headlines with the garish white and black jacket and matching trousers he wore ahead of practice for the Dubai Grand Prix – a look he finished off with a £220 bucket hat from Prada.
It is the latest in a string of dizzying outfits the racing ace has worn since the start of the year.
From a Dior newspaper print suit to a £510 Prada shirt, Hamilton’s wardrobe is not short of designer labels. He has also demonstrated a love of matchy-matchy looks, most notably stepping out in head-to-toe check in a garish green and pink colourway while in Italy this summer.
Then there are the slogan jumpers, baggy tracksuit bottoms and an extraordinary number of trainers. Here, a look at some of his boldest looks of 2020.
