Poker

Yes, there is a lot of style and fashion in the world of poker, but it varies depending on the poker type. The development of digital games, made some changes in the field-related fashion trends as well, as online poker tournaments although have the same excitement as the traditional games they do not require any dress code at all. Generally speaking, there is no specific dress code in poker tournaments. However, taking into consideration the location of the tournament can also impact your fashion choices. For example, casino tournaments will require players to wear smart casual or business casual attire for the game. This is because most casinos impose this dress code on their patrons.

Many professional poker players prefer to wear a collared shirt, comfortable pants, and closed shoes during a tournament. They will also wear accessories like watches and rings. Women’s fashion choices tend to be broader with some players sticking to tailored suits while others will wear designer dresses. Many players also wear sunglasses during tournaments.

As already mentioned, online tournaments are casual affairs: You can wear anything you want because nobody will know what you’re wearing.

Met Gala

The annual Met Gala is another event that gathers a lot of attention. It attracts big names in Hollywood, the fashion industry, recording artists, politicians, and models. Many celebrities wear the most flamboyant outfits to this occasion because there is a theme or dress code that the invitees need to stick to every year.

Actor Jared Leto, designer Marc Jacobs, and singer Harry Styles all wore strange costumes to the gala over the years.

As one of the world’s highest-paid actors, Nicole Kidman’s Oscar choices are also noteworthy, particularly the dresses she wore in 1997 and 2007.

Men also attract a lot of attention during the Academy Awards red carpet. Some of the most notable fashions include Pharell Williams’ camo shorts. Knees during the Oscar Awards are rare, even more so because it was Pharell’s. And let’s not forget Billie Porter’s tuxedo gown.
