- This is a great indoor outfit
when you wanna look stylish at an event.
It is not the best walking outside
in Los Angeles during the day outfit.
(upbeat rock music)
- I'm a pretty big NBA fan.
I've been watching for as long as I can remember.
- I've loved the NBA since I was a kid.
I grew up watching basketball.
I feel like this is gonna be
a really unique experience for me.
- I'm definitely aware of the NBA.
How can you not be?
And I do, like, follow them
kind of more related to their celebrity,
not as much their actual game.
- I feel like an NBA player style
is very different from my style.
- I'm definitely into fashion and into style.
- I think my style is pretty chill.
I usually wear a lot of black and dark blue and gray.
- One of my favorite players in the NBA,
because he's just kinda wild to me
is James Harden.
I think he is, for some reason, just hilarious.
He's just very showy.
- Russel Westbrook, in particular, pulls off a lot of stuff
that I feel like that dude can make anything look dope.
- This is absolutely going to push me out of my comfort zone
which is why I think it's gonna be fun.
- [Producer] This week you're going to be dressing as
James Harden.
- Yes!
- [Producer] Kawhi Leonard,
LeBron James,
Russell Westbrook,
and D. Wade.
- Okay.
I love it, all very fashionable guys.
(upbeat rock music)
- Today is day one,
and today I'm supposed to dress like Kawhi Leonard.
- This should be the easiest of the days, I think.
I looked up a bunch of photos of Kawhi
and apparently all this dude wears is sweats.
- I think it's a bit tough for me,
especially cause he isn't really,
in my opinion, particularly fashionable.
Kawhi, love you, but sorry, no.
- He is not a complicated man, fashion-wise.
It kinda makes it harder
because for the challenge I still wanna feel
like I'm putting together some kind of specific outfit,
not just like sweatpants and a sweatshirt.
- A couple of things I noticed about Kawhi's style
was that he wears a lot of muted colors,
grays and blacks,
and doesn't even really accessorize in any capacity.
I also noticed that he wears socks,
like visible socks.
So, I really thought it was important
that I incorporated that into my outfit.
- [Chris] The shoes Kawhi is wearing in the game right now,
it's very difficult to see,
but they're these shoes.
So clearly I picked the perfect outfit today.
- I got these socks that I'm gonna wear today with it,
and we'll see if anybody notices
that I'm dressed differently.
I still think that it'll look fashionable,
but I think they'll be thrown off by the socks.
- [Brenden] Kawhi, he's a New Balance guy,
so I know the Reebok wouldn't fly.
I guess the Nike stuff wouldn't either.
But we got black, puffy coat.
We got the same color blue sweatshirt.
It's not a hoodie, but it's as close as I could do.
Gray joggers, some light low tops.
I feel like it's pretty close.
- The camera does not need to be on me right now,
it needs to be on these socks.
- [Autumn] That's 'cause I'm a fun guy.
- [Chris] Okay, those are very fun guy socks.
- This feels like you really went the extra mile
considering it's the New Balance.
- Oh yeah listen, here's what happened,
I went to a New Balance event recently for Kawhi Leonard,
and I got a bunch of stuff that way.
I did not actually--
- Why are you still filming me while you're talking?
- Because I can't get over these socks.
- [Brenden] Do you think I look like
any particular NBA player?
- Because of the wild colors
I'mma go for maybe Russell Westbrook,
possibly Kawhi.
- [Brenden] You guessed Kawhi.
You're like the first person.
- Yeah you know, I got it, I got it.
Honestly you definitely killed it.
(upbeat music)
- So today's player is Lebron James,
and I'm quickly realizing that my wardrobe
does not have stuff that imitates an NBA player.
So I might have to do some slight shopping.
I actually had to purchase my first item,
which was this hat,
because it seems like Lebron wears hats like this.
It's my first time wearing a big hat,
I usually just do baseball hats or beanies.
It's different.
It's a look.
It's not what I feel great about on myself,
but I'mma do it anyway.
- [Autumn] I had a really hard time figuring out
what I was gonna do,
because his style is very masculine.
It's like straight out of GQ.
- Lebron and Kawhi are the two
that I think I can do without buying anything.
So yeah, I picked out this photo.
My only concern is the shoes.
He has some pretty wild shoes on,
and I don't have anything that really looks like those.
- [Autumn] Okay, as you can see here
I have chosen a lot of different earth toned type pieces.
- [Brenden] I don't have the exact same denim shirt,
obviously, but this one's similar.
It is a denim shirt.
White shirt.
These are like some black acid wash kinda jeans,
the closest I could get.
And then some Bron's.
I feel pretty good about this.
- Someone helped me,
and I made this key adjustment
by tilting the hat back
because before I had it like all the way on,
I feel like that's not the cool way to wear it.
But I actually found the real LeBron, back here.
- It's me.
- Look at this.
Wow.
He definitely loves layers and hoodies,
and I was actually thinking about doing something like this,
but then I was like I wear that all the time.
- Well, you know, listen,
I needed to channel the inner Akron, Ohio in me.
- Oh, wow.
- [Brenden] Do you think I look like an NBA player at all?
- Giving me LeBron vibes.
(laughs)
Is that LeBron?
(laughs)
I can see it.
- If you had to guess what NBA player I look like,
do you have any idea
what outfit it's based on?
- Marshawn--
Lynch.
- So your guess for the NBA player
I'm dressed like today is Marshawn Lynch?
- Yeah I don't really watch American sports.
Marshawn Lynch.
- Oh you don't?
- I just know the name.
- Interesting.
- He's a big player though, isn't he?
- Yeah, he's a big, retired running back in the NFL, so--
- (laughs)
- [Autumn] Wow it really feels like
I'm actually looking right at him.
Look at this hat and this roll-off of the socks.
Yeah!
(rock music)
- So today is Dwyane Wade day,
was a huge fan of him throughout his entire career,
not just on the court but his fashion,
he does a lot of GQ and stuff,
so the dude really knows how to dress.
- I think this is like the sweet spot
of where it's normal-ish clothing,
but you're getting fancier with it.
- [Autumn] Dwyane Wade has a really cool style,
really chic style,
and he loves to coordinate.
I did think of something that I haven't worn in years,
that's been in my closet,
and it's like a suit, like a khaki suit.
- I found a blazer and then put a plain T under it
because I saw that he does that a lot,
and then I have some pants.
They're a little high watery,
because he has a lot of exposed ankle, no socks.
So I have some no-show socks, and some shoes,
so it's like a blazer, but then also kinda casual.
- There's a photo of D. Wade,
I think it's like at the Met Gala or something.
He's wearing this black suit with like a black hoodie.
It's like simple, but it's elevated a little bit.
It's got the hood situation.
I already have some stuff to kinda do that.
- Do you like the blazer?
- Yeah, I think you look good
but you don't look as good as Dwayne Wade.
- Well thank you, that's kind of a compliment,
and that's the best I'm gonna get from you,
so appreciate that.
- Okay, initial thoughts on the Dwayne Wade outfit,
is it's very hot.
This is a great indoor outfit,
when you wanna look stylish at an event.
It is not the best walking outside in Los Angeles
during the day outfit.
(upbeat music)
- Okay so today I meant to dress like Russell Westbrook.
I was running super late this morning
so I put together an outfit.
I feel pretty good about it.
It's very extra.
Russell Westbrook has amazing style, but he is so crazy.
He always has one thing that just doesn't belong.
- I feel like I just look like a dude
in a flannel with cut off sleeves.
- [Autumn] Honestly, you look kinda fly.
- I went for a very specific look.
- [Brenden] For the base layer we got this guy.
This is not a shirt I would normally buy,
but I actually super dig it,
and I think it's a lot of fun.
Boom.
I got this guy.
It has these sweet little rips in it,
which I feel like is very Russ.
So I already have these jeans,
like a light acid-wash kinda vibe.
I feel like this is very in line with that.
- What have people said about what you're wearing?
- You know what, they said I have drip.
- Yeah, it's a lot of drip.
- And that they really like this outfit on me,
and I feel like that's amazing,
because I was pretty insecure wearing this out of the house,
but I think now I feel good.
- I've been getting a lot of compliments
that feel like when your mom wants
to make you feel good about yourself
because your outfit's not that dope.
- I think it looks great.
I actually think he has a lot more sauce
when he wears it like this.
- Okay, obviously the first thing I'm gonna do
in my Westbrook outfit is
do what I assume he does when he gets dressed up like this,
which is go to the grocery store.
When you're shopping for groceries looking cool as hell.
(energetic music)
- It's James Harden day.
As you can see, I got a shirt on.
This is not typically the type of thing I would wear,
both in size and in color.
- I decided to go and replicate
this like orange and light blue look that I've found.
He's actually wearing jeans in it,
but I decided to kinda change it up,
but I went with a bright orange dress,
matching orange shoes,
and then I'm wearing like a long overcoat
that's made of, like, denim.
- This is another one
that I definitely had to buy stuff for.
But I kinda used this photo as inspiration.
For me it's like,
I like that he had the same or similar pattern
over a piece with the same pattern.
It was like pattern-on-pattern.
The Brenden version of it is
I think I'm gonna go with black pants.
This is the top for James.
It's a big, bold pattern.
And then over that I'm going,
bam, floral jacket too.
I think I'm gonna be looking stylish.
- Guys what do you think of my outfit today?
Scale of one to ten.
- Doesn't look any different from how you normally dress.
- That's what I said.
- That's what everyone said.
When have you ever seen me wear something this baggy?
I know which picture you were basing this off of
and you nailed it,
and I'm kinda jealous, 'cause everyone just thinks
I'm wearing a baggy shirt and dressed like normal.
- [Brenden] Do you follow the NBA at all?
- Yes.
- If you had to guess what NBA player I'm channeling today--
- Are you Russell Westbrook?
- Close.
If not Russ, then who?
- [man yells] James Harden!
- Thanks Cue!
I mean I can see it--
- On a scale of one to ten,
how would you rate my James Harden outfit?
- Are we talking about a scale
of how James Harden are you?
Or how well you're dressed? - Yeah let's do that.
- How James Harden am I?
- How James Harden are you,
I'll give you like a nine out of ten.
- Oh okay.
- How well you're dressed,
let's just say it's not a nine out of ten.
- Not a nine out of ten, she says.
(laughing)
- I think it went really well.
I know personally I got a lot of reactions
that were very positive and unexpected.
- It was definitely challenging.
I have not put this much thought
into making an outfit in a very long time.
- This week was a lot of fun.
I definitely wore a lot of stuff
that I never would have worn normally.
- I actually got more compliments on these outfits
than I have on outfits that I actually wear,
so maybe it was a good lesson.
- I didn't really realize
that I would feel stressed
about wearing something that I felt weird in.
I thought it would just be funny and like on a lark.
I'm surprised that I found a way
to combine their style with mine,
in a way that most of the time I really liked.
- The biggest take-away from this
is I would highly recommend
next time you go shopping,
even if it's just like one item,
that is very different from what you normally wear,
I highly recommend it.
Even if only to get a reaction from your friends,
and see what they say to you,
but I promise you it'll probably be positive.
