MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA: NFL player Travis Kelce, 34, recently flaunted an intriguing "chill" outfit on his Instagram consisting of a silk white shirt and baggy velvet cargo pants, that promptly earned the athlete some scathing critique from his online fans.
For the most recent Kansas City Chiefs game, Kelce arrived at the US Bank Stadium dressed in a slouchy pair of brown velvet cargo pants, a silky white button-up shirt, and matching Nikes.
Kelce's game-day outfit for the Kansas City Chiefs versus the Minnesota Vikings game on October 8 can be availed from clothing brand Collina Strada.
The eco-friendly clothing line Collina Strada was created by fashion designer Hillary Taymour and was first introduced in 2008.
Collina Strada is described as a platform for change, social awareness, self-expression, and climate awareness.
The New York-based company's primary distinguishing feature transcends fashion trends as Taymour provides simple, wearable clothing with unusual embellishments and a fearlessly fluid attitude.
The ever-stylish athlete's brown velvet cargo pants are referred to as 'Bark Lawn Cargo Pant' on the Collina Strada website and are made in New York.
The product description reads: "Relaxed fit with mid rise, wide leg cargo pant and large pockets all over so you can go out without a bag!"
Fans trolled Travis Kelce for wearing Taylor Swift's 'curtains'
Eagle-eyed viewers immediately spotted a startling resemblance between the NFL player's "chill" trousers and Swift's curtains from her 'Midnights Mayhem With Me' TikTok series from 2022.
Kelce's pants and Swift's curtains from her 2022 TikTok series were instantly juxtaposed in side-by-side images on X (formerly Twitter).
One X user noted, "It matches the shirt from when she's talking about her song peace"
A second user mocked, "Awww it’s the sound of music traylors version," while a third one chimed in, "I love being a Swiftie."
Another X user shared an image of the singer wearing an outfit resembling a similar fabric, which enabled fans to make more fun of Kelce's outfit.
One user gushed, "Omg what is the curtains were DECONSTRUCTED pants and this was an Easter egg all along!"
Others shared funny images and clips to mock the athlete's outfit and its striking resemblance to Taylor's curtains.
The comments section of Kelce's Instagram photo of his "chill" outfit on Monday was swamped with references to curtains.
One Instagram user commented, "It’s the Midnights pants for me," and another gushed, "That’s Taylor’s curtains sir."
A third Instagram user asked, "Why is he wearing mother's curtains," while a fourth one mocked, "You look so good in Taylor’s curtains babe."
Some mockingly remarked that they wished the trousers come "in a pair of curtains," and another said they intended to "borrow this fit for Halloween."
Travis Kelce hailed Taylor Swift with ‘1989’-themed outfit
Kelce, who triumphed on Sunday despite being injured, had previously honored Taylor Swift, 33, with his attire.
Last month, the 'Lavender Haze' singer attended her first Chiefs game and left with tight end Kelce, who was sporting a denim outfit that appeared to be a tribute to Swift's impending '1989 (Taylor's Version)' album.
The styles feature the same blue-and-cream color scheme from the album's artwork, but KidSuper Studios didn't title the 1989 Bedroom Painting Denim Jacket and Pants in Swift's honor until Kelce was seen wearing the ensemble, per New York Post.
And it didn't take long for the pop sensation's followers to make the connection about Kelce's game-day attire.
Swift and Kelce were reportedly "quietly hanging out" for a few weeks when rumors of a relationship between the two first started to circulate earlier this month.
