Out of Uniform: Athlete Fashion in Women’s Sport

There is more to an athlete’s attire than their uniform, practice gear, and equipment.

Fashion is what you do with it, and it’s a way for athletes to show their individuality and who they are outside of their sport.

Three pilot female athletes wear a variety of different brands, clothing and shoes in their time off the field or court.

Women’s basketball forward Keeley Frawley, women’s soccer forward MJ Roe and volleyball right wing hitter Talyn Jackson show off their favorite clothes and shoes to wear.

“I wear these black sweatpants (left) basically every weekend with a bodysuit or tank top. It is so versatile that it can also be dressed up or down. These are the ones I use the most and how I like the style,” said Frawley.

“This is the SKIMS dress (right). This is my favorite outfit as it can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. I can combine it with heels and go out, or with tennis for lunch or dinner. It’s so comfortable that I can kick back and relax in this dress too,” Frawley said.

“I’m a big fan of colorful and fun pants (left), especially when you make the outfit simpler by pairing it with other neutral colors. This is one of my favorite t-shirts because it goes with just about everything and is perfectly cropped. This is also my favorite bag as it is simple and small and goes with all my outfits,” said Roe.

“These are my favorite shoes (center) because they go with everything and I’m a huge fan of platforms,” ​​Roe said.

“These are some of my favorite pants because they are the perfect neutral and I love the wide leg at the bottom (right). I like this cropped turtleneck as it is also a perfect neutral and goes well with these high waisted pants. My Docs are some of my favorite shoes because they go with everything and I love that they’re platform,” Roe said.

“I love the streetwear style. The Jordan ones are a staple in my wardrobe and I try to mix and match them as much as possible. I’ve always liked a simple top with pants that have a pattern to help the outfit stand out. The white puffer jacket is great for any outfit because it’s simple and can go with so many different options. Each of these pieces is my favorite because I can mix and match them to fit the occasion,” said Jackson.

Shoes: Jordan 1 mid- black and yellow

Fashion is one of the most significant forms of individual expression. You can decide how you use it and what you want to do with it.

For these three drivers, it’s another way to show that there’s more to them than just their uniform.
