So, I was scrolling online the other day, just killing time, and kept seeing pictures of Conor McGregor. Not just fighting, but out and about, wearing some pretty wild clothes. You know, the really sharp suits, sometimes flashy casual stuff. And I thought, huh, wonder what it takes to actually pull off that look. Just for kicks, I decided to see if I could try and replicate some of it, figure out the process.
Starting with the Obvious: The Suits
First thing that comes to mind with McGregor is those suits. They’re not just any suits, right? They’re super tailored, often bold patterns or bright colors. Pinstripes, checks, sometimes even floral. I remember seeing that famous navy pinstripe one… looked incredible.
Okay, so step one, find a similar suit. I went looking online first, then visited a couple of department stores. Finding the patterns wasn’t impossible, though the really loud ones he wears are harder to find off the rack. The real problem hit me quick: the fit. His suits look like they’re painted on. That means serious tailoring. You can’t just buy a suit jacket and pants and have them look like that. You need a tailor to take it in, adjust everything just so. And good tailoring costs money, on top of the suit itself. I looked at the price tags on some decent suits, then thought about adding tailoring costs… yeah, that idea got expensive fast. It’s not just buying clothes, it’s an investment.
Okay, Maybe Casual Wear?
Alright, so maybe the full suit thing was a bit ambitious for a casual experiment. What about his more casual style? He still wears pretty standout stuff.
- Loud patterned shirts – think Versace-style prints, bright colors.
- Designer brand stuff – lots of logos visible sometimes.
- Expensive watches and sunglasses – always part of the look.
- Even his tracksuits look high-end and fitted.
I tried looking for similar styles of shirts, ignoring the big brand names for a moment just to see how it felt. Found some bold floral and geometric print shirts online and in stores. Tried one on. Honestly? Felt a bit much. It’s one thing seeing it on him, surrounded by cameras and hype, but walking down my street? Felt kinda costumey. Confidence is key here, I guess, and maybe I wasn’t feeling it in a bright yellow baroque print shirt.
Checking Out His Own Brand
Then I remembered he has his own clothing line, August McGregor. Thought maybe that’s the more accessible route. So, I pulled up their website. It’s definitely got his vibe, but maybe toned down a little? Lots of polos, some sharper jackets, trousers. Still has that fitted look. Prices were… well, not cheap fast fashion, but maybe more reachable than head-to-toe designer stuff. Some pieces looked okay, quite stylish actually. But again, it requires buying into a very specific look.
What I Learned
So, after poking around, trying things on (mostly mentally, sometimes physically), what did I figure out? Trying to dress exactly like Conor McGregor is harder, and way more expensive, than it looks. It’s not just picking clothes off a hanger.
It’s about the whole package:
- Tailoring: Everything needs to fit perfectly. That’s non-negotiable for his look.
- Cost: He wears expensive designer gear or custom-made stuff. Even his own brand isn’t bargain-basement.
- Confidence: He wears the clothes, they don’t wear him. You need serious swagger to pull off some of those outfits without looking ridiculous.
- Consistency: It’s a whole persona, not just one outfit.
In the end, I didn’t buy anything flashy. It was an interesting exercise, though. Made me realize that just copying someone else’s style doesn’t really work. Maybe take inspiration, like the idea of a really well-fitting basic suit, or maybe a slightly bolder shirt than usual, but the full-on McGregor spectacle? Probably best left to the man himself. It’s his job to be noticed, I guess. Mine is just to get through the day looking reasonably put together. It was a fun little project to think through, though.
