Kobbie Mainoo: Technically gifted on the pitch and intelligent off it.
The Manchester United star has dominated the headlines this week, showing off his love of fashion as he prepares to co-host. GQ Men of the Year Event with partner England star Cole Palmer next week.
Scroll through Mainoo’s social media channels and you’ll see stylish outfits, stylish restaurants and, of course, an array of Old Trafford photos. But, there is more than meets the eye with this young player, as he revealed in an interview GQ.
Sitting down to reveal the essential items he can’t live without, Mainoo detailed an iconic united story that started its fashion beginnings.
“I’ve been wearing bucket hats a lot,” she said British GQ. “I don’t think it’s just a summer hat, you know. I wear bucket hats all year round. Wear them low, style them in different ways and when we win the FA Cup I was wearing a bucket hat, I grabbed one from the crowd and that’s when people started to see me wearing them.
“But I’ve been wearing them for a while. I’d say it’s a must-have for me.”
The Red Devils youngster also joked about releasing his own line of hats. “I’m not sure you know that. I should make a whole brand for it. I like things that are quite relaxed, more comfortable. I like to wear things that are looser, not so tight.”
The perfect evening outfit for Mainoo consists of a pair of jeans and a small leather jacket, a simple but effective choice. Her choice of bags, however, is a bit more extravagant.
“It’s a new one I got, Bottega, but to be honest I don’t care about the brand. I just need a bag. I hate having things in my pockets. Sometimes we have like a duffel bag. This is too big and you can fill too much, then it’s too heavy and your shoulder hurts.
“It’s not too flashy, it’s not branded or anything all over the place. It’s also a nice color.”
