Wearing navy Italian wool, Oxfords, and a three-piece suit, Jayson Tatum coordinates stylish team effort for celebratory White House visit.<\/h2>\n

Collaboration matters. You need passers and shooters. You need guards and centers. You need agile dribblers and powerful dunkers. It takes two to lob.<\/a> <\/p>\n

And while there\u2019s no \u201cI\u201d in team, there are two of them in Louis Vuitton, featured in a high-visibility pairing this week when fans, spectators, and politicos saw a dynamic duo in action: A JT x LV<\/a> collab during the Celtics\u2019 visit to the White House on Thursday where they met President Biden to celebrate their 18th NBA championship.<\/p>\n

\n

To be clear, this fashion relationship does not appear official. You can see from a quick scan of the Louis Vuitton Instagram<\/a> account or a brief review of search results that no formal agreement seems in play between these two powerhouse brands, Tatum and Louis Vuitton.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While unofficial, they are rendezvousing. It\u2019s a stylish situationship.<\/p>\n

Jayson Tatum loves to wear Louis Vuitton, and there are a lot of ways to wear it, often seen in bag form \u2014 dopp kits, duffel bags, and suitcases especially, like this multicolored<\/a> model Tatum rolled out of his Indianapolis hotel or this camouflage brown<\/a> version spotted during another Midwest road trip.<\/p>\n

As seen this week in D.C., the Louis Vuitton went beyond the bag.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the focal point and emphatic<\/a> center of Tatum\u2019s outfit \u2014 a mostly blue collection with a three-piece, slate pinstripe suit, white collared shirt, and black-and-blue Oxford<\/a> shoes \u2014 the pi\u00e8ce de r\u00e9sistance bore the Louis Vuitton brand in the format of a men\u2019s overcoat.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In true-to-form Tatum style<\/a>, the coat is subtle, simple, and \u201csophisticated,\u201d described by the brand as having \u201ca cool visual twist from its gusset pocket detail.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Additionally, according to the website<\/a>, the coat is \u201ctailored from double-faced pure wool [and] features a single pleat at the back and an all-over Monogram Constellation motif on the inside. Signatures include LV cuff buttons, the season\u2019s engraved Louis Vuitton pin on the collar and a woven Louis Vuitton Staples Edition label stitched to the cuff.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a team, the Celtics displayed a cohesive look in coordinated shades of blue, broken up by some neutrals.<\/p>\n

\n

In what could be described as a \u201cblue wall\u201d of fashion, Kristaps Porzingis<\/a>, known for wearing suits (whether playing or benched) rocked a cobalt blue two-piece. Jrue Holiday reflected Tatum, opting for a navy and slate combination. Derrick White, in blue and black, grounded the team\u2019s fashion with white tennis shoes and crew socks. Sam Hauser lightened the ensemble in a powder-blue look.<\/p>\n

Jaylen Brown notably wore his signature all-black<\/a> look, as did former Celtic Oshae Brissett. Al Horford also expressed neutrality in taupe.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Teamwork brings people together towards a shared goal and the Celtics showed a united front<\/a> at the White House in various types of black, blue, and brown, leaving room for some individuality.\u00a0<\/p>\n

President Biden celebrated the team\u2019s unity during the Rose Garden ceremony<\/a>, highlighting \u201chard work, teamwork, respect, and the knowledge that no one of us is ever as good as all of us can be when we\u2019re together.\u201d<\/p>\n
