Isaac Quaynor plays for Collingwood in the AFL. Ahead, he discusses his style, including his βabsurdβ shoe collection, and how he gets his fans involved in his game-day scent choice.
Iβd describe my style as evolving. Itβs gone from athlete fashion to streetwear and is now more minimal, clean and classy.
The oldest thing in my wardrobe is a vintage red and black leather racer jacket. Itβs definitely a statement piece β Iβd love to know who wore it before me.
The most recent additions to my wardrobe are a pair of Julius Marlow βXavierβ loafers, and a pair of retro Nike βTiempoβ sneakers. Iβve got an absurd shoe collection; I really donβt need any more, but it keeps growing.
On a first date, Iβd wear black Sweats Collective pleated pants, a nice sweater, leather jacket and Julius Marlow βOmitβ loafers. On a plane, itβs a Nike tracksuit and slides. For the red carpet, Iβll wear a Hugo Boss tux. I wore a very cool Boss suit for Glamour on the Grid this year.
My favourite fashion era is the 2000s. Iβve always loved that oversized New York streetwear look – varsity jackets, baggy pants, cropped tees and Timberlands. My favourite designers are Sweats Collective, Melbourne streetwear label Mertra, and Sydney label Vaucluse for a Euro-summer vibe.
My favourite fragrance is Amouage βGuidance 46β; I should gate-keep that, but Iβve got a collection of 300-plus fragrances, so it depends on what day you ask. For my game-day fragrance, I throw control over to my followers on TikTok and they choose one for me.
Three essential items in my wardrobe are a Sweats Collective trackie set, my black Acne Studios jeans and a vintage leather jacket.
I love jewellery; I always have. I wear a tennis bracelet and matching ring and have another classic four-claw tennis bracelet from Cullen Jewellery on the wish list. I also wear a Rolex βDatejustβ watch that I got when Collingwood won the premiership in 2023, so thatβs very sentimental.
When I was a kid, I loved to wear my dadβs clothes. Iβd sneak into his wardrobe when he went to work and dress up in his gear. I was obsessed with an orange Dada Supreme track set β thereβs a photo of me, age four, wearing it and his size-13 shoes.
My worst fashion mistakes happened in the skinny-jeans era. They were in at the time but itβs tragic to look back on. I will not wear skinny pants ever again. Iβm enjoying the trend of wearing baggy pants with a fitted T-shirt or Henley top.
My favourite fashion icon is rapper Lil Yachty. I love his versatility; he can rock a tracksuit or go super classy in a layered Ralph Lauren look.
On a typical working day, I wear a grey tracksuit, runners and a Nocta by Drake puffer to training. Or if Iβm doing a shoot, itβs pleated pants, a rugby top from my brand Qamare, and loafers. On Sundays, Iβm at home in a Nocta tracksuit, Nike ACG slides and a durag to look after the braids.
