Caitlin Clark continues to redefine style and class, both on and off the court. From her bottle green blazer to her burgundy leather one-piece, the Fever rookie has earned a reputation as a trendsetter, turning heads with her pre-game outfits that often give fans a sneak peek into her mood. And she did it again before her game against the Dallas Wings on Sunday, rocking a white hoodie and matching sneakers that wowed everyone—but this time, the price tag hit harder than Angel Reese’s WNBA playoff hopes.

Clark’s ensemble for the day was a statement in itself. She donned an Off-White Chess Move Skate Hoodie, priced at a cool $785, paired with glittering black pants and Nike’s Cactus Plant Flea Market X Air Force 1 Low Premium White 2020 kicks, which resell for $289. Total cost? A jaw-dropping $1,074. That’s nearly as much as Angel Reese stands to make in playoff bonuses if the Chicago Sky advance to the elimination round.

In fact, if the Sky win their remaining games against the Connecticut Sun and the Atlanta Dream, advancing to the first round of the playoffs, each player would pocket $1,616. Should they make it to the second round, that figure jumps to $3,123. But even if Chicago faces an early exit, Reese is looking at a payout of $1,616, according to Boardroom—not much more than the price of Clark’s courtside-ready fit.

While the Sky are fighting to keep their playoff streak alive, having not missed the postseason since 2018, their fate hangs in the balance. Players like Kamilla Cardoso, Chennedy Carter, and Diamond DeShields will need to step up if they hope to propel Chicago to the postseason. If they fall short, Reese’s setback will sting more than ever.

On the flip side, Clark’s sartorial choices reflect her current momentum on the court. She’s already secured her spot in the playoffs and looks poised for a stunning postseason, a sentiment echoed in her polished yet fierce outfit. Could her look be hinting at another big win? Let us know what you think!

Caitlin Clark’s outfit gives out a bold message

“Sometimes you’re playing checkers and she’s playing chess,” that was the then Virginia head coach Kenny Brooks’s observation about Clark, when the latter clashed against his team in November 2023. Clark was fresh off a 44-point offensive rampage against the VT when Brooks had remarked this about Clark. Coming into the game against the Wings, Clark had a subtle message for the opponents. “CHESS MOVE” was imprinted on the Des Moines-born’s hoodie and gave a tribute to Virgil Abloh, the late founder of Off White, by mentioning his name before it.

As for her shoes, Clark was seen sporting white sneakers, which she had last worn against the Mystics when she had scored 30 points with 7 three-pointers. And this time she also stood tall to her message, hitting 35 points with 8 assists against the Wings.

Perhaps, the Chicago Sky will be able to make it to the playoffs, or maybe their campaign will end soon. But one thing is clear Clark doesn’t leave any opportunity to give competition to Reese.
