Style ID: Lewis Hamilton brings the heat on and off the track

Sir Lewis Hamilton is a man that needs no introduction. At just 37 years old, the motorsports athlete currently takes the throne in Formula 1, dubbed as one of the greatest racers of all time—but he isn’t just any greatest racer of all time. Living life on the fast lane, Hamilton is not one to miss an opportunity to steal the spotlight both on and off the track. When he isn’t making yet another historic record on the racetrack, the legendary sportsman is busy setting sartorial trends with his immaculate style, fronting Valentino campaigns alongside Zendaya, sitting front row at Fashion Week, and turning heads on the Met Gala carpet.

No athlete has made history-making so fashionably cool, and we only have celebrity stylist Law Roach to thank for Hamilton’s impeccable wardrobe. With or without a stylist, he’s undoubtedly a true fashion geek at heart, often playing with different aesthetics and never shying away from pops of colour, contrasting patterns, and non-conforming ensembles. 

While we’d love to gush over all of his spectacular looks, we’ve narrowed it down to just 10 from his treasure trove of style inspirations on Instagram. If you’re looking to upgrade your wardrobe or simply here to fan-girl over the dashing heartthrob, scroll ahead as we go through our top picks of his best outfits!

 

 

King of the track
