Kylian Mbappe is definitely the hottest name in the football world recently with his hat-trick against Barcelona. On this occasion, let’s take a look at the energetic fashion colors in the style of the gem from the land of the hexagons with ELLE Man!In the 2016-2017 season, AS Monaco proudly won the French national championship – Ligue 1, to the amazement of football fans. When mentioning the combative army of the Principality team in those days, people will probably immediately think of a young man with fast running steps and passionate playing style. That is Kylian Mbappe.
With an impressive debut, the Cameroonian striker was considered a promising talent of football at that time. Moving to the giant Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2017 along with the “thermonuclear bomb” named Neymar, Kylian Mbappe not only stood firm under enormous pressure but also had a spectacular breakthrough.

With his speedy runs, intelligent movements, top-notch techniques and the killer instinct of a leopard, the 19-year-old boy captivated fans with his brilliant performance at the 2018 World Cup. The day the French team was crowned champion in Russia was also the day Kylian Mbappe officially rose from a young talent to one of the most outstanding names in world football.
Similar to his fast-paced and passionate playing style, Kylian Mbappe’s fashion style is also very dynamic and youthful. Although he is a close friend of Neymar or Paul Pogba, most of Mbappe’s outfits are not too colorful and ostentatious. On the contrary, the golden boy of the land of Luc Lang is quite fond of outfits that are simply coordinated, but still exude a sporty look and ensure just enough prominence.
