Best Dressed NBA Players 2026: 10 Tunnel Fits, Ranked

The 2026-27 season is a week old, the Knicks have their rings, LaMelo Ball is a Timberwolf, and the tunnel walk is still the best show before the show. These are the ten best dressed players in the league right now.

The NBA tunnel is a runway with a locker room at the end of it. Every arrival gets photographed, every outfit gets posted, and for some players the walk in is half the brand. So we ranked the best dressed men in the league, using the deals they have signed, the outfits they have actually worn and, where it exists, Complex’s June ranking of the league’s best dressed.

The order and the letter grades are ours. Every brand, deal, outfit and stat behind them is real.

The Ranking

1
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
Oklahoma City Thunder
A+
Converse Shai 001Canada Goose collabLevi’sLouis Vuitton luggageComplex No. 1

Complex put SGA at the top of its 25 best dressed NBA players in June and summed up his approach in three words: no stylist required. He has a signature Converse sneaker, an apparel collab with Canada Goose and a Levi’s partnership. He also has back-to-back MVPs and a 2025 Finals MVP, which helps, because confidence is half of any outfit.

One of his standout looks last season, per a running log of his tunnel fits: an oversized trench coat over a graphic tee, baggy denim and a custom iced chain. Then he opened this season with 32 points, 3 steals and 3 blocks in San Antonio. Dressed well, played well, left.

Steal the look
Start with the graphic tee, not the coat. A long trench or overshirt over a bold tee and loose denim is the SGA formula, and it works on people who do not have an MVP trophy.
2
Josh Hart
New York Knicks
A
Armani BeautyTommy HilfigerDavid Yurman

Four months ago Josh Hart was grabbing 11 rebounds in the game that ended the Knicks’ 53-year title drought. This month Armani Beauty made him the face of its I Will fragrance. He was already signed with David Yurman and joined Tommy Hilfiger’s Tommy Family this summer. “For me, fragrance and fashion go hand-in-hand,” he said.

Hart plays like a man who would dive into the third row for a loose ball. Off the court he dresses in tailored streetwear and now smells like a luxury department store. The range is the point.

Steal the look
Polished streetwear: a clean tailored jacket over a simple tee, one good piece of jewelry, nothing loud. Let one item carry the outfit.
3
Tyrese Haliburton
Indiana Pacers
A
BlazersPenny loafersSweater vestsComplex No. 5

Haliburton spent all of last season injured after tearing his Achilles in the 2025 Finals, so he dressed from the bench. Complex ranked him fifth anyway and called the look “insurance salesman”: blazers, penny loafers and sweater vests. It sounds like an insult. On him it is a compliment.

He came back in the preseason on October 13 and scored 24 points in 18 minutes, 478 days after the injury. The vest era may be ending. We will miss it.

Steal the look
Go full substitute teacher on purpose. A sweater vest over a collared shirt, pleated trousers, loafers. It only works if you commit to it.
4
LaMelo Ball
Minnesota Timberwolves
A−
LaFrancé (his own brand)LF neck tattooTNA referee shirts

LaMelo does not wear a brand. He is one. He launched LaFrancé in 2020, named after his middle name, with shirts starting at $70 and hoodies at $120. In 2024 the NBA told him to cover his red LF neck tattoo under the rule against logos on players’ bodies. Then the league backed off the fines, and he kept playing with it showing.

This month LaFrancé became TNA Wrestling’s official apparel partner, which means TNA referees now work matches in his brand. Meanwhile Charlotte traded him to Minnesota in June, putting him in the same backcourt as Anthony Edwards. Both went in the top three of the 2020 draft. One of them is about to fix the other one’s closet.

Steal the look
If you are wondering what LaMelo Ball’s clothing brand is, it is LaFrancé. The look is relaxed streetwear with oversized graphics, so a big graphic tee and wide pants get you most of the way there.
5
Jalen Brunson
New York Knicks
B+
SimkhaiGold Nike Kobe 6 Protro PE

Brunson does not chase trends. For Game 1 of the Finals he arrived in a matching Simkhai set, a popover shirt and relaxed trousers. Ten days later he was Finals MVP after averaging 32.6 points and scoring 45 in the clincher.

On ring night he wore an all-gold Nike Kobe 6 Protro made only for him, matched to the gold trim on the Knicks’ championship uniforms. The Sixers ruined the party, 106-100. The shoes still won.

Steal the look
Matching sets are the cheat code. Same fabric, same color, top and bottom, and you look like you planned your day.
6
Victor Wembanyama
San Antonio Spurs
B+
Louis Vuitton ambassadorStatement outerwearComplex No. 20

Wemby became a Louis Vuitton house ambassador in February 2024, during his rookie season. Complex ranked him 20th and noted the long coats, the LV bags and the tailored suits. At 7-foot-something, every coat is a statement coat.

On the court, the Spurs reached the Finals and he averaged 26 points, 11.2 rebounds and 3.6 blocks against the Knicks. Opening night was rougher: 1 for 13 from the field, with 13 rebounds and 6 blocks. The outfit, presumably, was fine.

Steal the look
Long outerwear and clean lines. A coat that hits below the knee makes anybody look taller, even people who do not need help.
7
LeBron James
Philadelphia 76ers
B
Louis VuittonRRLHermèsComplex No. 12

LeBron is new in Philadelphia and old in the tunnel. Complex ranked him 12th and listed the usual rotation of Louis Vuitton, RRL and Hermès, then said he looks like he is on autopilot these days. Fair, but his autopilot is most people’s best day.

He started his Sixers era at Madison Square Garden on the Knicks’ ring night with 14 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists in a 106-100 win.

Steal the look
Quiet luxury: plain, expensive-looking basics in neutral colors. No logos. The fit of the clothes does the talking.
8
Karl-Anthony Towns
New York Knicks
B
Pelle Pelle leatherVintage Yankees gearAimé Leon DoreComplex No. 21

Since arriving in New York in 2024, Towns has dressed like a man who wants the whole city to know he lives there now. Complex counted Knicks merch, Pelle Pelle leather jackets, vintage Yankees gear, an Aimé Leon Dore jacket and a Marty Supreme windbreaker.

He averaged 13 points and 10.6 rebounds in the Finals. If anyone has earned the right to wear his own team’s gear to work, it is a champion.

Steal the look
Local pride, layered. Pair a vintage team piece with a leather jacket and you are a New Yorker, wherever you live.
9
Cade Cunningham
Detroit Pistons
B−
Violet flannelDistressed leather bombersComplex No. 19

Complex ranked Cade 19th and said he upgraded his pregame closet last season, with a violet flannel and distressed leather bombers, and credited his stylist. It shows.

On opening night he had 22 points and 8 assists as Detroit closed on a 23-0 run to beat Boston, the biggest opening-day comeback since play-by-play tracking began.

Steal the look
One unexpected color. A purple or burgundy flannel over a white tee is the easiest upgrade in this whole list.
10
Anthony Edwards
Minnesota Timberwolves
C+
adidas Adifom IIInfinity Mule

Ant is one of the best players in the league and one of the more relaxed dressers. His most recent fashion headline is an adidas slip-on mule with a small teal logo, released this spring. It is a nice mule. It is still a mule.

Help has arrived, though. The Wolves paired him with LaMelo Ball, and the two ranked third and sixth in threes per game last season. If LaFrancé samples start showing up in the Minnesota locker room, we will move him up.

Steal the look
Comfort first, on purpose. A great graphic tee, track pants and slides is a real outfit if everything fits well.
LaMelo does not wear a brand. He is one. TNA referees now officiate matches in it.
On No. 4
The Knicks effect

Three of our ten play for the Knicks, which won its first title since 1973 in June. Brunson was Finals MVP, Hart was a starter and Towns averaged a double-double in the Finals. Winning a championship in New York apparently comes with a fashion contract. Hart got Armani within four months.
