What is it about that extra layer of warmth we wear in these cool-weather months that makes us stand a little taller, strut a little harder?

A stylish jacket can do that for anyone — especially NFL players who can afford designer outwear straight from fashion runways.

As Chiefs players arrived at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, New York on Sunday for the Bills game, two in particular hit their marks: Travis Kelce and wide-receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster.

JuJu gave off male model vibes as he walked into Buffalo’s stadium in a fierce, cropped leather jacket with contrast shearling trim from Acne Studios ($3,100).

Notice that he carried a briefcase. All. Business.

Under mouse-gray Buffalo skies, the colorblocking on Kelce’s patchwork cashmere coat shouted: “I have arrived.”

The Style by Kelce site had the details of Kelce’s look, and what some of the items cost. That’s an Elder Statesman Patchwork Jacket (retails at $4,200), a Louis Vuitton chain links necklace ($1,190) and Jacques Marie mage ascari sunglasses ($695).

Kelce donned a Cleveland Guardians cap and continued his game-day tradition of wearing Air Jordan sneakers.

Defensive tackle Tershawn Wharton opted for a closer-fitting, sleek Louis Vuitton bomber jacket of double-cased cotton jersey ($2,380).

Quarterback Patrick Mahomes loves to show out for road games and he was dressed to the nines for this latest matchup against the Bills. He looked snazzy in a three-piece suit and trademark Oakley shades.

Guard Trey Smith wore a leather vest and a dazzling necklace.

Offensive lineman Creed Humphrey dazzled, too — if only for the fact that he has continued to wear duct tape stuck to his T-shirt for 10 straight games (all victories thus far, by the way, entering Sunday’s showdown).

Now that’s commitment.

And Chiefs coach Andy Reid looked sharp in his suit, as you can see in this video that shows the team’s arrival.
