1. The pink suit

Could there be another choice for the top of this list? Even Russell Westbrook looked at this suit and turned fuschia with envy. As with everything else Tucker allows to enter his closet, the tailoring is exquisite — accentuating his broad chest, muscular frame and making sure to reveal just a hint of ankle above his crystal white shoes. Again the, coordination with Harden, and his complementary pastel sweater, takes everything to the next level.

You might be looking at this suit and wondering where in the world Tucker could wear it besides a game in the Western Conference Finals. The first answer is that if you’re concerned about making sure you wear a silk suit more than once to justify purchasing it, you’re probably a narc. Second, where wouldn’t you wear this suit?

It works for a party on a yacht. Standing in as the final boss in Streets of Rage 3. Boyz II Men karaoke night. Ryan Anderson’s super-lame 80s-themed birthday party. Heck, swap out the pants and he could make his own M.C. Hammer video. This suit can do anything and I’m starting to believe P.J. Tucker can too.
