When you think of Lionel Messi, the first things that come to mind are probably his incredible football skills, numerous awards, and his iconic moments on the pitch. However, the fashion world hasn’t exactly crowned him as a “style icon” just yet. After all, we’re used to seeing him in team kits, not the latest runway looks. But hold on, it turns out that Messi has a distinctive fashion sense that speaks volumes—and it’s not just about wearing a simple T-shirt or hoodie.
In this article, we’re diving deep into Messi’s closet to uncover his go-to fashion choices, the brands he swears by, and why his looks have made fans sit up and take notice. Get ready for a mix of comfort meets luxury, and maybe a few surprises along the way. Whether he’s lounging on a yacht with his family, attending a professional event, or casually strolling through town, Messi knows how to pull off style that’s as impressive as his footwork.
So, buckle up, because we’re about to explore how Messi, the fashion MVP, dresses for everything off the field.
The Inside-Out Tie-Dye T-Shirt: Fashion with a Twist
Messi’s fashion choices don’t always have to be loud, but when they are, they stand out. Take, for example, the Louis Vuitton Inside Out Tie-Dye 22AW RM222 NPL T-shirt he wore at his wife Antonella’s Disney princess-themed birthday party. This shirt isn’t just any tie-dye piece; it’s oversized, inside-out, and features a bold orange Vuitton right across the chest.
The bold orange Vuitton text screams luxury, while the tie-dye pattern keeps it relaxed and edgy. You can almost imagine Messi rocking this at a chill summer event or a low-key party, looking effortlessly cool. It’s an interesting mix of high-end fashion with a relaxed vibe, proving that Messi knows how to combine comfort with class.
And guess what? A pre-owned version of this T-shirt is priced at around $616 on eBay, and that’s without the sparkle of being worn by Messi himself. What would the price be for one of these fresh off the racks? We’re guessing a bit more. But, hey, if you want to channel your inner Messi on a budget, you know where to look.
When Leo stepped into this Louis Vuitton ensemble that oozed class and elegance, it gained a lot of traction and comments from fans across social media.
“So beautiful.”
A fan kept it short and sweet, summing up Messi’s sophisticated Louis Vuitton moment with effortless admiration.
The Classic Black Turtleneck Look: Messy Meets Messier
You wouldn’t expect Messi to be photographed in a black turtleneck at every event, but he knows how to keep it simple and classy when needed. The look that made heads turn was when he snapped a picture with the legendary Jon Snow (yes, Kit Harington) and his wife Antonella.
This black turtleneck may not scream flashy fashion, but its minimalist vibe screams sophisticated casual. It’s a smart choice that blends perfectly with Messi’s more understated, classic style. We’ll admit: it’s tough to tell the exact brand, but we’re guessing something from Uniqlo, Ralph Lauren, or perhaps even a custom piece made just for him. What’s important is that Messi has nailed it, looking every bit the part of someone who knows how to rock a turtleneck in style.
In this stunning black turtleneck ensemble, Messi channeled timeless sophistication with a touch of mystery. This look set the internet ablaze, with fans drawing some Game of Thrones parallels.
“For Targaryen fans, Messi is a Stark.”
One fan hilariously placed Messi into the world of Westeros, crediting him with the stoic aura of House Stark.
“I’m going to frame this photo on my nightstand because it’s simply spectacular. I love all three of them.”

Messi’s Ultimate Sneaker Game: White Gucci Ace Sneakers Edition
Let’s face it — sneakers are Messi’s secret weapon to walking around in style while keeping it casual. Among the many pairs in his collection, his Gucci Ace Sneakers stand out, which he was seen wearing at a party in his hometown, Rosario, with his parents and wide Antonela. With their white leather design, low-top cut, and signature GG logo, these sneakers have a classic appeal.
What’s even better? The Gucci GG logo sits proudly on the top of the foot, making it clear: Messi knows luxury. The price for a pair? Anywhere between $550 to $890, depending on the edition and color. Not bad for a pair of sneakers that go with just about anything — from jeans to suits. Messi has definitely mastered the art of pairing high-end luxury sneakers with casual looks.
In this heartwarming photo from his hometown Rosario, Messi wore his Gucci sneakers, posing with his parents and Antonela. The moment captured a beautiful blend of style, nostalgia, and family love which garnered a lot of reactions from fans worldwide.
“His father’s face and his mother’s eyes.”
A fan poetically observed how Messi inherited his father’s strong features and his mother’s soulful gaze, making this photo even more endearing.
The Hoodie and Tracksuit Look: Adidas Originals, but Make It Messi
While we all know Messi’s skills on the pitch, he’s also an ace when it comes to athleisure. In one iconic photo with the statue of Adidas founder Dassler, Messi rocked a grey hoodie with the trefoil logo from the Adidas Originals line, paired with darker grey joggers and Adidas Superstar trainers. This hoodie looks like is specifically designed for Messi, making it tailored just for him.
If there’s one thing that’s certain, it’s that Messi loves comfort—and nothing says comfortable and stylish like a grey tracksuit that’s ready to take on a casual outing or a weekend getaway. And those Superstar trainers? They can go up to $349. Stylish and sporty? Messi is clearly onto something here.
The Unexpected White Trainers with Black Suit Combo
When most people think of a black suit, they think of formal shoes or maybe classic Oxfords. But not Messi. When he’s off the pitch and attending an event, he often rocks a black suit—but adds his signature twist by pairing it with white trainers.
Leo rocked a sleek black suit paired with white trainers on a date with his wife, as shown in the above image, proving that he can effortlessly bridge the gap between formal and casual. The fit screamed “modern gentleman,” and fans were quick to applaud.

This combo breaks all the rules and proves that Messi can bring his relaxed style to any setting. We dare say, this is the ultimate casual-meets-classy move.
Messi’s Never-Ending Love For His Go-To-Bottomwear: Jorts
Light-wash denim jorts:
Messi’s light-wash jorts are like the fashion equivalent of a cool, refreshing breeze on a hot day. They’re frayed, faded, and have that “I’ve been wearing these for years but still look effortlessly chic” vibe. The high-waist fit? Iconic. The distressing? Perfectly imperfect. These jorts scream casual Saturday, whether you’re chilling in the park or being a casual fashion icon. They’ve seen some things, but they’re still holding strong. Classic Messi, right? Easygoing, rugged, and always in style.
In lieu of this, Messi’s light-wash jorts, which he famously wore for a Christmas photo with Antonela Roccuzzo, sparked plenty of fan commentary. The relaxed, distressed look of the shorts might divide opinions, but one thing’s for sure—they’ve got people talking.
“The fact that the world’s most beautiful woman grew up to marry the world’s greatest footballer is some stroke of luck for each other.”
A fan celebrating Messi and Antonela’s picture-perfect moment, jorts included.
“Negative swag”
A cheeky comment, poking fun at Messi’s ultra-casual style.
Dark-Wash Denim Jorts:
On other days, Messi channels a slightly edgier vibe with dark-wash jorts. These are like the cool cousin of the light-wash ones—slightly slimmer, with a hint of vintage cool. The distressed hems scream, “I’m stylish, but I don’t try too hard.” These jorts are perfect for a laid-back day of conquering the streets (or, you know, just driving around in your fancy car). Messi proves once again that you can be comfy, edgy, and still look like a fashion god.
Potential Brand Insight:
Messi’s jorts could easily be from Levi’s, Diesel, or Acne Studios—brands that know denim like Messi knows scoring goals. But let’s be real, if these jorts were designers, they could easily be from Gucci or Balenciaga, just as casually cool as Messi’s off-field swagger. If they’re not branded, then we’ll just call them Messi-approved.
When Messi swapped the light-wash for darker denim, it sparked an entirely new wave of online reactions. These jorts, paired with his casual demeanor in yet another photo with Antonela, showcase Messi’s low-key approach to off-field fashion. They’re slightly more polished than the light-wash pair, but they still carry that “Messi just enjoying life” energy which was liked and also questioned by some fans.
“What is that drip?”
A fan questioning Messi’s fashion choices with a mix of admiration and disbelief.
“Bro dresses so casual, enjoying life after winning everything in football.”
A wholesome nod to Messi’s no-frills, relaxed style.

The subtle elegance paired with relaxed vibes gives off “I’m casual, but I still know how to look good” energy.
Potential Brand Insight:
This shirt could easily be from Prada, Saint Laurent, or Dolce & Gabbana—brands that know how to blend elegance with effortlessness.

The epitome of “I woke up like this… and I’m going to look fabulous.” The shirt is the perfect canvas for the bold and adventurous patterned shorts that make a statement like, “Yeah, I’m Messi, and I’m here to play in style.” The black, yellow, and brown hues of the shorts bring an extra touch of daring streetwear energy, while the white sneakers keep the whole look grounded. Messi’s fashion here says: I’m easygoing, but I have a flair for the dramatic.
Potential Brand Insight:
• T-shirt: Most likely from The Messi Store or Adidas, because Messi just can’t leave his athletic roots behind (but in the best possible way).

The shirt doesn’t scream “look at me,” it just says, “I’m too cool to try.” The “Made in Italy” tag? Just a little bonus flair to remind us that Messi knows luxury, even when he’s lounging. It’s like wearing art but without the pretentiousness.
Potential Brand Insight:

Messi’s rocking this shirt while driving his G-Wagon, so yeah, it’s safe to say that Messi’s version of “casual” is pretty much everyone else’s “luxury.” It’s the ideal mix of comfort and top-tier craftsmanship—just like his off-field persona and when his wife posted this image on her Instagram, it garnered a pool of fan reactions and comments on social media.
“He does look and dress like a normal dude among us.”
A fan marveling at Messi’s ability to stay grounded, even while rocking high-end oversized fits and cruising in a G-Wagon.
Messi’s Streetwear Sprint: The Palm Angels Pit Stop

There, alongside his wife Antonella and in front of a giant pink teddy bear that could double as a small mountain, Messi donned the Palm Angels Helmet Racing Cotton T-Shirt.
