Cam Newton certainly understands the phrase “Dress to impress.”

The former Panthers’ and current Patriots’ quarterback catches attention basically every week of the NFL season thanks to his pre- and post-game outfits. Sometimes they’re classically put together, with an old-school hat, and other times Newton pulls out fur or outrageous colors or any number of other fashion statements. Newton’s style carries on to the field, too, where he has an impressive cleat game.

“My father and a lot of wise men once told me the way you dress is the way you are addressed,” Newton said in 2019. “So I just always make sure that I present myself in a manner that people can see and get inspired, and also look for inspiration as well.”

Why does Cam Newton dress in bold outfits, win or lose?

One question that Newton’s been asked in the past is why he doesn’t wear something more subdued after his team loses. Newton explained to Atlanta radio station 680 The Fan in 2019 that it’s all a mentality.

“Everything is a mentality. You don’t go into a game saying that you’re gonna lose,” Newton told The Fan. “You don’t go into life or this day saying that today’s gonna be a bad day. Mentally, you go into it saying that this is gonna be the best day of my life. And everything, from the way you dress, the way you talk, the way you present yourself will be held accordingly.”

Newton’s fashion interests have made their way beyond the field, too, and he has a private artwork collection and opened a cigar bar-lounge-restaurant in Atlanta in 2019.

“It’s a lot of years of thought,” Newton said earlier in 2020, according to CBS 4 in Boston. “It’s just a part of my weekly routine. I really look forward to things that kind of can get my mind off of the game of football periodically. And fashion is something that typically does that.”
