US EditionStanding out in a sea of casual attire
- As the NCAA Tournament heats up, coaches like Niele Ivey of Notre Dame, Kim Mulkey of LSU, Nate Oats of Alabama, and Dawn Staley of South Carolina are standing out with their unique styles amidst a sea of coaches wearing team polo shirts and quarter-zip pullovers.
- The trend of casual sideline attire became more prevalent during the COVID-19 pandemic, and many coaches have not returned to dressing up since, though some think not dressing up on the sideline is disrespectful to the game.
- Ivey, who learned to coach under Hall of Fame coach Muffet McGraw, takes pride in continuing the Notre Dame fashion tradition, while Richard Pitino, now the Xavier coach, has been dressing up for games throughout his decades-long career, including wearing an all-white Armani suit for St. John's whiteout on Feb. 16 at Madison Square Garden.
- Dawn Staley, who was photographed at Milan Fashion Week alongside NFL star Stefon Diggs, prioritizes comfort and says, "Anything I wear I'm comfortable, like I could probably have on the entire day," while Kim Mulkey's outfits have become must-see TV, with many fans eagerly awaiting her bold and unpredictable looks when she walks out of the LSU locker room.
- 69-Year-Old Kelvin Sampson, the Houston coach who wore suits for decades before the pandemic and famously ripped off his tie during games, admits he might have taken casual wear too far, especially after being chided by Arizona coach Tommy Lloyd for wearing sweatpants, while Nate Oats reminds fans of Wimp Sanderson with his colorful tailored sports coats and will stand out in the Sweet 16.
