Tyrese Haliburton matches girlfriend Jade Jones in style, his off-court fashion game is next level
Image credit: Tyrese Haliburton/Instagram Tyrese Haliburton was all sweat and grit on the court, but off it, he didn't shy away from walking down the tunnel in suits and ties. During the NBA Finals, it was his girlfriend Jade Jones who turned heads by attending games in a custom-made Haliburton collection. And it seems the 25-year-old point guard was no less impressive when it came to making a mark on the fashion scene. Tyrese Haliburton knows how to leave an impression with his fashion choices In the recently concluded NBA season, Tyrese Haliburton showcased a different style each month until April, and then shifted his entire focus to the games leading up to the Finals. The Indiana Pacers star consistently nailed formal looks before hitting the court in April. During the Play-In tournament, he leaned into a more suave and polished aesthetic — favoring sharp formals. From V-neck sweaters paired with ties to suits and blazers matched with silver leather shoes, Haliburton left fans in awe of his evolving and confident fashion sense. Before that, Haliburton took a more experimental route. He was seen rocking dhoti pants with a cardigan one day, and showing up in a glittery shirt paired with silver shoes and shorts the next. He captioned a bunch of such bold looks on Instagram: 'My fault ig I been low.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Sensação de queimação nos pés? Veja o que estudos recentes dizem sobre o controle da glicose. G!Saú Undo His girlfriend, Jade Jones, endorsed his style with a comment: 'Fits have been fitttttinggg.' Back in January, Haliburton opted for long jackets in black and greys, often layering up to fight the cold. A fan fittingly called him a 'Style god' in the comments of one of those posts. But his love for suits and blazers seems to be permanent, and it certainly adds to his fan following. He definitely stood out from other NBA players this year by skipping flashy outfits and opting for sleek, office-ready looks. Even his on-court style grabbed attention — particularly his pink and purple shoes. One fan named LaGuezz commented on a post: 'Keep wearing those pink and purple shoes!!!!' Another named Adel Mezara, wrote: 'Those purple shoes are your new lucky charm, you gotta keep wearing them.'
