Roger Federer on Forbes Best Dressed List

Roger Federer, along with Maria Sharapova and the Williams sisters, was named on the Forbes Best Dressed List for 2010.

Federer is well known for his classic look and great sense of fashion on and off the court. His always has a clean style wearing polo t-shirts and classy shorts for his matches and preppy sweaters and clean khaki’s or jeans when he is out walking with his family somewhere.

On the 2010 Forbes Best Dressed List we can also find other athletes like, New England Patriots Quaterback Tom Brady, LA Galaxy Midfielder David Beckham, New York Rangers Left Wing Sean Avery and Goalie Henrrik Lundqvist, amongst others.

Why the sudden surge in stylish athletes? One reason: corporate sponsorships. Sure, fashion and sports have a long history, says Screws. "But [their relationship] has grown over the years with big name brands stepping up and sponsoring or linking with sports stars for marketing purposes." Designers are catching on too, with brands like Joseph Abboud regularly dressing the New York Giants. "We're talking the offensive line," says Screws, "big men--happily dressed and well-fitted men."
