Tariq Woolen gave sharp suiting a sleek twist at the 2023 NFL Honors in Phoenix, Ariz. tonight. The annual star-studded ceremony brings together athletes and entertainers to honor some of football’s greats.
Woolen appeared on the red carpet at Symphony Hall in a full-blue suit. The Seattle Seahawks cornerback’s ensemble included a short blazer jacket with coordinating trousers. The overcoat had structured lapels, while the bottoms featured front slits near the hem. The NFL player teamed up both pieces with a matching blue button-down shirt.

Taking things up a notch, the 23-year-old athlete accessorized with round blue-tinted sunglasses and a blinged-out diamond chain.
Rounding out Woolen’s look was the Gucci Joordan Loafer. The Gucci Jordaan is presented in dark brown square G suede and is defined by a slim shape and emblematic horsebit hardware. Made in Italy, the shoe style also had gold-toned hardware, a leather sole and a 0.4-inch heel.

Often made of leather, loafers are slip-on shoes worn by all genders. Unlike leather dress shoes, loafers are a more casual footwear choice, perfect for any occasion including attending high-profile red carpet events.
