Sports Fashion: divisional round denim

In this edition of sports fashion, I will cover the top outfits in the divisional round of the NFL playoffs.

Unfortunately the Bears playoff run has come to end after falling 20-17 against the Los Angeles Rams on Jan. 18,2026. This also brought the fashion run for the Bears to an end. This week I start hot with what I think is the best outfit from the week and from the playoffs this year. Kyler Gordon has stood out all season, when he is not injured, and shows off one last time to round out the Bears outstanding season.

Gordon wore baggy blue jeans, a denim blazer, a white button-up shirt, a black tie and a pair of black loafers.

Similar to the Bears, the Texans playoff run came to an end after a weak offensive performance. This also meant that the Texans run of outfits also came to an end. Aireontae Ersery has not been featured by me in sports fashion this year but this outfit definitely deserves a mention.

Ersery sports baggy blue jeans, Timberland boots, an Adidas x Willy Chavarria jersey and a white beanie. He is also accessorized with a Louis Vuitton Duffle bag and various jewelry pieces.

Unlike others on this edition of sports fashion, Patrick Surtain II is the only one who has moved on to the conference championship for his team. After an overtime thriller, the Broncos would emerge victorious and move on to face the New England Patriots. This means we will see more outfits from the Broncos to close out the season.

Surtain wore a dark wash matching denim jacket and pants set with a pair of brown derby shoes.
