fashion-first F1 star, but his latest fashion choice points in a direction that Lewis Hamilton would be proud of.&#13;<\/p>\n<p>\nDISCLAIMER: [This article was written by someone in a pair of jorts so take it with a pinch of salt].&#13;<\/p>\n<p>Should we really be looking to F1 drivers for fashion tips?<\/p>\n<p>\nThere are some drivers such as Max Verstappen who could stop traffic simply by dressing in something <b><a title=\"other than team kit\"

than team kit<\/a><\/b> (that man has probably already stocked up on AlphaTauri baby clothes for the arrival of his firstborn child). &#13;<\/p>\n<p>\nThen, there are icons like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gpfans.com\/en\/f1-drivers\/lewis-hamilton\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lewis Hamilton<\/a>, who has excelled beyond the realms of the sport as not only one of the greatest drivers in its history but also a staple of pop culture whose fashion influence spreads far and wide&#13;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe seven-time champion will appear at the most hotly anticipated event on the fashion industry&#8217;s calendar next week, <b><a title=\"appearing as co-chair for the 2025 Met Gala\"

thanks to their new stylish model.&#13;<\/p>\n<p>\nOne British star who seems to have shared an interest in following the path of Hamilton&#8217;s somewhat interesting style is rookie star Ollie Bearman.&#13;<\/p>\n<p>\nAhead of the first of his team&#8217;s three home races next weekend in Miami, <a title=\"Bearman was pictured\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/HaasF1Team\/status\/1916477104717287642\" target=\"_blank\">Bearman was pictured<\/a> posing with team-mate Esteban Ocon and F1 Academy star Courtney Crone on social media platform &#8216;X&#8217;. &#13;<\/p>\n<p>\nWhilst Ocon and Crone proudly displayed the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gpfans.com\/en\/f1-teams\/haas-f1-team\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Haas<\/a> team kit and colourway of red, white and black, Bearman stood out with his flared wide-leg jeans in a light blue denim wash which seemed to never end.&#13;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe young Brit&#8217;s VERY relaxed jeans flowed all the way down to meet the sole of his shoe, dragging all over the place, whilst Ocon opted for a much more sensible slim cut, not quite as scandalous as a skinny jean.&#13;<\/p>\n<p>\nBut Bearman must be forgiven should you consider his choice a fashion faux pas (you would also be wrong, wide-leg jeans are all the rage with kids these days but each to their own). &#13;<\/p>\n<p>\nEven Hamilton has tried out some <a title=\"questionable denim looks\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gq-magazine.co.uk\/article\/lewis-hamilton-yproject-jeans-2024\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">questionable denim looks<\/a> in his time and he&#8217;s still becoming the face of global brands year-on-year.&#13;<\/p>\n<p>\n19-year-old Bearman wasn&#8217;t even born when bootcut jeans last invaded the UK high street, but he&#8217;s in his first F1 season, just trying to find what works for him, or maybe he&#8217;s eyeing up a move to Red Bull to make the most of that <b><a
