As the league gets closer to playoffs, the serious nature of this week has translated into the players&#8217; pre-game styles. There&#8217;s a certain level of attention behind their overall approach to their games, which is seen in their perfectly fitted blazers and careful combination of clothing. While players are still tapping into different aesthetics to reflect their personalities, their outfits have ditched the summer&#8217;s casual vibe with style-driving energy. 
Whenever players opt to wear blazers in their pre-game outfit, it adds another chapter into the history of this classic, professional athlete look. Blazers or suits don&#8217;t always offer a simple fitting process for basketball players, so it&#8217;s no easy feat to wear something that&#8217;s perfectly cut to their proportions. It&#8217;s also been fun to see WNBA players bring out cropped blazers, suits in colorful satin materials, or relaxed, two-piece fits&#8211; whether these blazers lean more masculine or feminine, they&#8217;re never boring or stuffy when spotted in this league.  
In the midst of eliminations for the playoffs, this edition of &#8220;The W in Designer&#8221; highlights a broad range of styles before the season closes. Some of these players opt for classic, suited athlete looks while others bring in a popstar energy to popular streetwear trends. As this season progresses, these players have perfected the art of using a few essential accessories to communicate their personalities: sunglasses in usual shapes, bags of all shapes and sizes, and careful layering of their jewelry.

<a href="https://instagram.com/ktoli20">Kristi Toliver</a>
Washington Mystics player Kristi Toliver adds an academic touch to her pre-game outfit with a grey Howard University top layered under a navy two-piece suit. While wearing suits or blazers has been popular this season, Toliver’s styling includes a backward hat, dark sunglasses, a subtle gold chain, and blue and white Nike sneakers. Since Toliver has been spotted in suits in other off-court moments this season, she’s even mastered the art of perfectly cuffing her sleeves to show what’s underneath them.

Ruthy Hebard brings a chic and structured approach to her pre-game look with the Chicago Sky. Hebard wears a cropped blazer in an eye-catching light blue color, which contrasts against her black crop top and black cargo pants.

Keeping her accessories to a minimum, Sabally adds a pop of color to her look with a chunky, mismatched beaded choker.
