The NBA regular season has now given way to the playoffs, with the energy and intensity going up a notch.

To match this, players have also levelled up their pre-game fashion, putting together some truly impressive fits in the pursuit of glory.

From Knicks stars debuting limited shoes, to role players going deep in their designer bags, the post-season has already seen some truly classic style moments.  

 

The best pre-game fits of the NBA Playoffs

Which NBA players have been the best-dressed during the post-season?

10. Peyton Watson

Peyton Watson went deep into his bag to put together this fit, pairing a Balenciaga hoodie with Kapital denim shorts. 

But the star of this show is undoubtedly the Sean Wotherspoon Nike Air Max 1/97, one of the cleanest pairs ever released.

9. Jarred Vanderbilt

Vando has been consistent with his fitted hats this season, but this fit around one might take the cake.

A vintage Rolling Stones tee, LV carpenter pants and a pair of timbs finish the grunge-inspired look from the Lakers wing. 

8. Buddy Hield

The star of the Warriors Game 7 win, Hield's spot on this list is won through his fit built around a crazy Ryoko Rain work jacket. 

He added a Kapital trucker hat and a pair of brown Vans to finish the look, as his team moves on to round two. 

7. P.J. Tucker

What else did you expect from the NBA's sneaker king? 

Tucker pulled on three-tone denim jeans, a distressed Balenciaga hoodie, and a pair of the Off-White x Louis Vuitton Nike Air Force Ones, a massive flex from the Knicks veteran. 

6. Norman Powell

All black means business for Norman Powell, specifically a matching Prada short-sleeve set. 

The shade, the socks and shoes, even the Goyard purse are all blacked out, an incredibly slick fit from the Clipper. 

5. Myles Turner

Turner has been known to dress in eclectic ways, and this tan matching set with the boots is the perfect example of that. 

As if that's not enough, the bolo tie adds just the pop of colour that Turner's fit needed, making up an impressive look. 

4. Jimmy Butler

Butler pulled up to the Warriors first round series against Houston in maybe the comfiest looking coat we've ever seen. 

It was part of an all-brown set from brand Alo, and was accompanied by a pair of timberlands to round everything out. 

3. Donovan Mitchell

It was shorts to match the short series for Donovan Mitchell, with no doubt helped with the Miami heat - get it?

The Cavaliers star also wore a jacket from the brand Found, with a Richard Mille on his wrist and a pair of Rick Owens. 

2. Karl-Anthony Towns

Towns arrived in a crazy Jeff Hamilton Aimé Leon Dore jacket, one of the most impressive pieces of outerwear we've seen this season. 

As if that wasn't enough, he also debuted the Nike Air Force One NY vs NY, as his own NY team made it through to the second round. 

1. Tim Hardaway Jr. 

This is what it looks like when everything falls into place.

Hardaway Jr's fit consisted of a Martine Rose jacket, Loewe cargo shorts, Chrome Hearts shades, and a clean pair of Dr. Martens, all coming together to make the besgt fit of the playoffs so far.
