He’s dressed as the brother of the bride at a Hamptons wedding. There’s nothing wrong with the suit — in fact, the brighter color blue is youthful and fun and it matches his new team: the New York Giants. But he’s committing capital fashion sin by wearing the brown brogues, which belong exclusively to a country weekend lifestyle.
Marquise Brown: D
This is the perfect look for a 25-year-old New York girl on the Upper West Side, on her way to an after-work Whispering Angel. But what’s not to like about cropped cigarette pants with a pair of loafers? Paging Audrey Hepburn!
Kyler Murray: D-
Dressing like strawberry sherbet should be rewarded, as it takes extreme commitment. But he’s obviously taking things too far with the pink and white shiny sneakers.

Josh Jacobs: B-
The color combination of black and electric blue with a matching vest is dynamic and young, but we can’t get past the cropped pant, which he’s obviously opting for to showcase the studded precious shoes. It’s a very Dorothy move.
