Baseball icon Derek Jeter, after having a lengthy career of twenty years in the big leagues, began a new chapter in his life as he hung up the cleats in 2014. The main aim of this new chapter of his life was to focus on getting settled in his life. The former Yankee had already set everything in motion as he proposed to then-girlfriend supermodel Hannah Davis in 2015. But while going through this most prominent change in his life, the one thing that Jeter never swayed away from was his peculiar eye for fashion.
Of all the times Jeter dressed up for any event, he stood out more than many in the crowd. Not only this, but his style recently put him on the cover of GQ. Notably, his wife, SI swimsuit cover model Hannah Jeter (formerly Davis), is also a fan of her husband’s style. But what part of Jeter’s style does the supermodel like the most?

A couple of months before the most eligible bachelor of the sports industry got married in 2016, the supermodel spoke about the favorite style of her then-fiance. During the Sports Illustrated Fashionable 50 event, Davis, along with Danish model Nina Agdal picked their favorite stylish athletes. And they also spoke about what they liked about their style. There Davis credited a close friend of Jeter for his style.
Davis, being who she was, notably was asked about Jeter. The reporter asked about what she liked the most about Derek Jeter’s fashion. To which she spoke, “I do like that he has a suit guy he works with, Nigel Curtis, and I feel like he makes amazing suits.”
It seems like every time that Jeter ever suited up, Davis was at the front cheering for her guy. In his days as a Yankee, Jeter said he used to have a tailor who also made suits for the NBA legend Michael Jordan.
