Okay, so I got really into Conor McGregor’s style lately. Not just the fighting – the clothes, man. The guy has a look, and I wanted to see if I could pull off even a tiny bit of it. So, I decided to do a little experiment.
Phase 1: The Deep Dive (aka Watching Way Too Many Videos)
First, I spent, like, a whole weekend just diving into pictures and videos of McGregor. Not his fights, but his press conferences, his interviews, his Instagram – all of it. I wanted to really break down what made his style… his style.
I noticed a few key things:
- Tailoring is King: Everything fits him perfectly. No baggy pants, no loose shirts.
- Bold Patterns and Colors: He’s not afraid of a bright floral shirt or a pinstripe suit.
- Accessories are Key: Pocket squares, watches, sunglasses – he uses them all.
- Confidence: This is the biggest thing. He wears everything like he owns it.
Phase 2: The Budget-Friendly Hunt
I am not a millionaire so next, I had to figure out how to do this without breaking the bank. I hit up some of my usual stores – you know, the usual, places.
My strategy was to look for similar pieces, not exact replicas. I was going for the vibe, not a costume.
I scored a couple of well-fitting blazers – one navy, one a bit more daring with a subtle pattern. I also found some slim-fit chinos and some bolder patterned shirts. It was all about finding things that fit well and had that sharp, tailored look.
Phase 3: Putting It All Together (and Feeling a Little Awkward)
The first time I put together a full “McGregor-inspired” outfit, I felt… weird. It was definitely outside my usual comfort zone. I went with the navy blazer, a floral shirt (a toned-down one!), slim-fit chinos, and some nice shoes. I even added a pocket square (which felt super fancy).
I walked out of the house feeling a little self-conscious, I am not going to lie. But then, something interesting happened. People actually noticed. I got a few compliments, and I started to feel… good. More confident, even.
Phase 4: The Verdict? It’s All About the Attitude
After a few weeks of experimenting, I realized something. It’s not just about the clothes. It’s about how you wear them. McGregor’s style is as much about his attitude as it is about the actual garments.
I’m not going to suddenly start wearing three-piece suits every day. But I’ve definitely learned to pay more attention to fit, to be a little bolder with my choices, and most importantly, to own whatever I’m wearing.
It was a fun experiment, and it definitely pushed me out of my style rut. Maybe I won’t be walking into a press conference anytime soon, but I’m definitely feeling a little more “Notorious” in my everyday life.
