5 TIMES JULES KOUNDÈ'S STYLE MADE HIM OUR MAN OF THE MATCH

Whether you're a fan of football or not, there's no denying that off-pitch style goes hard. Case in point: Jules Koundé. A defender for Barcelona but a one to watch in the style game, Koundé pushes it to the max with his looks. Here are five of our favourites – think sharp tailoring, bold tones and an accessories game that makes Jules our man of the match, and moment.

#1: SUIT UP

It's not all football jerseys and sportswear when it comes to footballers – tailoring is a big mood too. Keeping it classic with a double-breasted two-piece suit (fitted to perfection, might we add), Jules is flying the flag high for formal looks. If you're going down the tailoring route, take notes and inject some personality into your look with a bold tie and sleek accessories.

#2: GO BRIGHT

We can't ignore that double denim moment, but the bold tones are stealing our attention and rightfully so. With spring having its moment right now, choosing bright shades is a must, and Jules has got it so right. He's switching sports with the tennis-ball-green jacket and matching hat (this guy can't get enough of a coordinated moment), but Jules is always on point.

#3: HIGH-LOW DRESSING

For the days when you want to merge two styles into one, Jules has a 'fit for you. Blending the traditional trench – we're really into the distressed details – with a sports-fuelled New Era cap, he's landed on a winning formula. Throw on some statement shades and you've got a style hat-trick.

#4: MINIMALIST MODE

With this 'fit, Jules is saying sometimes quiet looks speak volumes. The key to nailing an understated look is in the details: take your knit to the next level with subtle cut-outs or weaves and complete the look with slick accessories. A watch and sunnies are all you need to lift a look.

#5: RISK IT ALL

While we know Jules can pull off a classic suit incredibly well (scroll up for the proof), we're in awe of his ability to pull off tailoring that's a little more daring. At the 2023 GQ Man of the Year Awards, Jules came through in a grey skirt suit, and to push the look even further, the suit was padded. We love a man who isn't afraid to push boundaries when it comes to fashion.
