Reilly Opelka is at the Milan Fashion Week, featuring his eccentric style. While some fans have loved the looks, he is also facing brutal trolls online. Recently, a picture of him wearing knee-length boxers and a red-white flannel jacket surfaced online. Reddit has not missed an opportunity to take a dig at Opelka’s sense of fashion. However, the tennis player looks quite confident about his outfit and, for sure, he’s rocking it.

Reilly Opelka is tennis’ new fashion icon?

Opelka’s outfit features a red and white checkered jacket with a black coat, black shiny shorts and long boots. The zipper on the jacket is pulled down, revealing the mustard yellow t-shirt underneath. It gives the illusion of a neck-scarf or a tie with the yellow shade in stark contrast to the jacket.

Fans have rained their hilarious comments on the post and some wish that they could unsee the picture.

Others have just assumed that Opelka’s outfit was not styled by Prada. Instead, it must have been he who styled himself.
