The future Mr Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce, arrived at a stadium for his team’s first home game of the season this week, in a shorts suit. As in, a suit jacket, white shirt, and tie, but instead of normal trousers, little matching shorts. Business up top, party down below. He paired this with black lace-up shoes, and no socks. It was quite a look.
This is not the first time Kelce has raised eyebrows with his attire – he arrived for the Superbowl in February in the manner of someone headed to a seventies fancy dress party rather than to play American football. His burnt-orange flared suit, red, enormous collared shirt, huge sunglasses and gold brooch lead online commentators to opine that he resembled “the fourth member of the Bee Gees”.
Still, at least he’s trying. Some of his “fits” might be controversial, but Travis knows that fashion exists and is interested enough in it to play around and take risks.
Back when my husband was my boyfriend he used to wear boot-cut jeans, with frayed edges from dragging on the ground, and black office shoes. He looked like Jeremy Clarkson, and I told him so. He was confused, went off and Googled him, came back and said he was OK with that. I suspect not even Jeremy Clarkson thinks Jeremy Clarkson is a style icon.

He simply could not care less about it, and while I applaud his lack of shallowness in our worryingly image-obsessed society, I also have to be seen in public with him. I love clothes and have far too many (but somehow never anything to wear).
He buys trousers from Amazon, and doesn’t understand why that’s wrong. One pair ripped at the back seam when he bent down, slapstick style, and he sewed them up, despite the cost of the cotton thread making them technically a write-off. He also never notices when he needs a haircut, even though there are times we suddenly have the same style, but only my bob is intentional.
Over the years I have bought him clothes for birthdays and Christmases that I have to explain to him why he likes, and then prepare to not see again for at least six months. Any sooner than that and they are “too new” to wear. Conversely, no item is ever too old to wear. He is in his fifties and genuinely still has jumpers from his teens, which are “cobweb effect” due to the amount of holes. This is irrelevant. Unless something disintegrates while he is in it, it’s fine.
Trends come and go, and he is unaware of all of them – I suppose like a stopped clock being right twice a day, eventually his jeggings may be briefly fashionable again. He was such a regular customer at the kebab shop at the top of our road that they gave him a free T-shirt, which instantly became a valued piece of his capsule wardrobe, regardless of the fact it was the wrong size, by quite some margin.

He has shorts so long and baggy they look like an A-line midi-skirt. He has also recently rediscovered a pair of fitted, tapered jogging bottoms that are giving those ski pants with elastic footstraps from the eighties.Informed him of this, |was met with a blank expression and then a shrug, as always.
In some ways, perhaps I envy him slightly. I spend so much time considering what to wear, planning outfits, trying to judge if I will be over- or underdressed for whatever it is; and if I am either, hating every moment. It must be very freeing to never think about any of that for a second.
Also, despite the many harsh critiques levelled at him by most of the people he knows – he is famously badly dressed – he remains utterly unselfconscious and good-naturedly unbothered. Immune to peer pressure, piss-taking and persuasion.
There’s possibly a lesson here for all of us. Obviously nobody is going to take it though – who would ever listen to a man with a bob, in ski pants and a kebab-themed crop top?
