This WNBA season's hectic, nonstop schedule is bubbling with energy, which has translated into the players' most recent pre-game outfits. From commemorating their Olympic victories through their outfits to taking a red, white, and blue approach to celebrating their teammates, the players continue this momentum until the playoffs. 

Instead of going for laid-back summer style, their return translates into more elevated, 'back to business' outfits as the teams compete for their spots in the Playoffs. This critical point of the season also makes it easier to see which players have established their signature looks, with a special nod to the rookies who have truly developed their style profiles. 

Other recent style notes include players hiring stylists, even though it seems late in the season—there's no proper timeline for stepping up one's style. Discover the top pre-game outfits that show player style returning to business after a well-deserved break.
