Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s 50 Greatest Fits

Yesterday, GQ unveiled our definitive list of the 50 Most Stylish People Alive from our November issue, which spans the sartorial spectrum from Jim Jarmusch’s understated downtown cool and Tyler, The Creator’s candy-toned prep to Cher’s megawatt flexes and King Charles’s age-old affinity for bespoke tailoring. And of course, there’s our November cover star: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the reigning NBA MVP and consensus best-dressed player in the league.

Since turning pro in 2018, the 27-year-old Hamilton, Ontario native has displayed a preternatural ability to concoct attention-grabbing tunnel fits that play with proportion, pattern, and color in ways that best accentuate his willowy six-foot-six frame. In a league full of designer-obsessed hoopers armed with professional stylists, SGA is a true original—these days, he estimates, his wardrobe is 90 percent custom or vintage. “Rarity and personality are the biggest things I look for in clothes,” he told me when I interviewed him for the cover.

Here, we’ve dug deep into the archives and emerged with 50 fits from across the Oklahoma City Thunder star’s career, covering the full breadth of his journey from streetwear-obsessed rookie to certified fashion-god champion.
