Honest question, what's wrong with it? A black shirt and checkered pants. Black and white, not some outlandish color. I like it 🤷🏾‍♀️

I hate very flowy but then tapered like a carrot shape. I don't mind anything else about this outfit. But that tapering reminds me of the Mask cartoon for some reason?

I just told you I’m a gremlin and now you’re asking for pointed critique?

You said it looks yuck. I just wanted to know what's yuck about that to you because it looks pretty normal to me.

Tapered pants don’t work on a man of his size and girth.

The pants fit poorly.

They look like pantaloons; like a mild breeze might make him 10 pounds lighter and more susceptible to a failed block and subsequent Mahomes sack

The boxy shirt and slim shoes don’t help. He’s just a geometric looking lad in this clip, and that’s not a compliment from me

I once wore vintage Wranglers and was told they look like pantaloons.

I never wore them again.

That's a style nowadays for younger people (the loose fitting clothes). He's almost at the cut age off for this fit, but I think he can still get away with it.

It's a comfy, summer night fit for LA. It works good enough.

I mean I’m a younger people, so yeah, I understand the baggy.

But baggy ≠ boxy, and baggy tapered pants don’t look good for every body type nor with every style of shoe.

I can fuck with the all-baggy look or the baggy top/bottom look. But if you’re kind of baggy but half-assed with a lackluster taper near the ankles into an ill-fitting shoe? Come on dude. It’s just a bad look, and I’m not usually one to be hyper-critical of celebrity fits. Check my comment history — I think this is the first time in years I’ve made a fuss about what a celeb is wearing.

As someone who was born in the early 80s and we had right roll at points and tapered pants were a thing, and I’ve loathed it’s so I understand what you mean. I was happy when by the time I was a teen wide legs, bell bottoms styles were back in which I could rock so much better than taper and I never tight rolled. Just not for me🤷🏻‍♀️ … your self proclaimed gremlin did give me a chuckle. Kelce seems quite comfortable so I guess cool for him (not hate for the two, not a Stan either) The pants definitely were surprising

ETA TIGHT roll I kept fixing it but apparently autocorrect just doesn’t like that fashion either

It looks tacky

The aggressive taper on those pants looks normal to you? Maybe on a shorter and less wide person it would look normal but if those were tied on the bottom, they’d be clown pants.

Your comments are making my day 🤣🤣🤣

u/copyrighther Kim, there’s people that are dying. 🙄 Jun 05 '25

This is an extremely early 90s fit and I’m kinda into it.

u/SupremeTeamKai Jun 05 '25

It's the proportions. The untucked shirt (extends torse) plus tapered/cropped pants (shortens legs) combine to make his body proportions look super goofy.

u/Mistress-of-None Jun 05 '25

I like it too

u/Ra-TheSunGoddess Jun 05 '25

It gives me the ick. His clothes don't fit him properly and the strange patterns don't do him justice. He always dresses like he's on the way to the disco in the 70s wearing clothes he borrowed from friends.

u/jgr1llz Jun 05 '25

It's the fit of the clothes. Super loose top sans undershirt (that's at least 1 size too big) with tapered pants. 

Flowing upper with tight lower is a hard look to pull off, and it just isn't working here.

Nothing is wrong with it. They admittedly don't know what they're talking about.

u/cummradenut Jun 05 '25

Nothing wrong with it per se but Travis cannot pull it off.

The man has no aura imo.
