The tennis legend has a perfect record when it comes to championship style.
Roger Federer made history this weekend when he won his eighth Gentlemen’s Singles title at Wimbledon. Looking back at the Swiss tennis god’s championship style, we have to say, he’s had it in the bag on the formalwear front since day one. With the exception of a few questionable of-the-moment accessories, Roger Federer’s style, like his demeanor as an athlete, has always been nothing but conservative, charming, and totally confident. No wonder he earned the title of Most Stylish Man Alive in 2016; guy’s a pro when it comes to getting dressed too.

Okay, a shiny burgundy cummerbund is no one’s best look but, as far as early Aughts tuxedos go, this was not as bad as it got. Plus, Federer’s grown-out, tennis rockstar hair more than makes up for those questionable black-tie accents.
By 2004, Federer was already wise to the fact that a classic tuxedo was the better, handsomer way to go. He’s relied on this look for nearly every black-tie event he’s attended over the last decade and a half, with the exception of a few events (like that diamond-encrusted cobra moment at this year’s Met Gala).
