It doesn’t matter if you’re a professional football player or a Chiefs fan, everyone tries staying warm on a blustery winter day.

With temperatures in the mid-20s on Saturday ahead of the Chiefs playoff game against the Houston Texans, some players wore big coats to stay warm.

Others seemed dressed for a crisp autumn afternoon. That included KC tight end Travis Kelce, who walked a fine line between just-rolled-out-of bed comfort and grandma chic — if your granny wears Timberlands.

The Style By Kelce Instagram account noted he was wearing a Bottega Veneta suede shirt (retail price: $11,900), Diesel relaxed jeans ($575), Timberland Supreme Diamond Plate Pink boots ($248) and Supreme beanie ($54).

The No. 1 look of the day belonged to No. 1 himself, rookie wide receiver Xavier Worthy, showing up for his first playoff game in what appeared to be a custom suit, pristine white with a repeating pattern of black fleur-de-lis.

His shoes? Prada, of course. They appeared to be the Italian luxury brand’s downtown patent leather sneakers ($1,120).

Teammate Charles Omenihu wore showstopping black-and-white too.

We couldn’t tell if the defensive lineman’s pants had a cow print or Rorschach test ink blots. Either way the look screamed “I know fashion and I look good.”

Quarterback Patrick Mahomes wore a white hoodie underneath what appeared to be a blue Dior jacket and possibly Dior jeans, too. (Just don’t call this a Canadian Tuxedo.)

Linebacker Dru Tranquill, wrapped in layers, was all business, wearing headphones the players received ahead of Super Bowl LVIII from L’Jarius Sneed.

Cornerback Trent McDuffie and defensive lineman George Karlaftis chose function over fashion in puffer coats, as did Derrick Nnandi in lumberjack flannel.
