I always see NFL star Stefon Diggs rocking incredible street style, especially his pre-game outfits. Seriously stylish. Figured, why not try to get that look without spending crazy money? Here’s exactly what I did, step by step.
Stage 1: Figuring Out The Outfit
First up, research mode. Scrolled through tons of pics online focusing on Diggs’ casual looks. Noticed a killer combo pop up a few times: relaxed-fit jeans, clean white tee, bomber jacket, and those signature designer shades. That’s the vibe I’m chasing. Grabbed my notebook and wrote it down:
- Distressed light wash denim (slightly loose)
- Crisp oversized white t-shirt
- Olive green bomber jacket
- Sharp rectangular sunglasses
- Fresh white sneakers
Stage 2: Hunting Down The Pieces
Didn’t wanna break the bank. Hit up my regular spots – thrift stores first, then discount places.
Denim: Found these baggy light jeans at a thrift store near me. Problem? Way too long. Took ’em home, hacked off the hems roughly with scissors for that frayed look Diggs rocks. Good enough.
White Tee: Simple. Went to a basic department store, snagged a soft cotton oversized white tee. Cheap and easy.
Bomber Jacket: This was tougher. Olive green bomber ain’t always easy. Checked three different thrift shops. Zilch. Ended up at Ross, found one that was basically the right color and fit. Paid like $68. Still hurts a bit. But needed it.
Sunglasses: Didn’t even try faking actual designer. Found cheap rectangular shades at a convenience store checkout line. $8. Done.
Sneakers: Already had beat-up white Adidas Stan Smiths. Saved a step there.
Stage 3: Putting It All Together
Got home, tossed the jeans in the wash solo to fray those cut edges more naturally. Let ’em air dry – can’t risk shrinkage messing up the fit. Once dry, got dressed:
Started with the loose white tee. Tucked it in slightly just at the front like he sometimes does for that layered look. Pulled on the hacked-up jeans, rolled the rough hems once for a cleaner cuff. Slid on the bomber, kept it open. Popped on the cheap sunglasses. Finished with the clean white sneakers. Looked in the mirror… not bad!
Stage 4: Testing & Adjusting
Wore it out running errands just to see. Felt comfy, movement was easy like his looks suggest. Only thing? The bomber was kinda stiff. Definitely not high-end material. But the color looked right. Snapped a quick mirror pic. Compared it to a Diggs photo. Close enough on a budget! Maybe the jacket’ll soften up after some wear. Next time, might try a slightly more distressed tee.
Final Take: Took some hunting and basic DIY (hello, jean surgery!), but got that Diggs casual swagger vibe without spending big. Whole fit (minus sneakers I owned) cost less than that darn jacket. Feels achievable. That cashmere vest version he wears? Maybe next month… that price tag haunts me already.
