The Celtics did not have Jayson Tatum in the lineup, but they had Jaylen Brown and the rest of the regular crew to secure the win against the Pistons, 120-130, with Brown scoring 28 points alone.
Brown led the team on the court and on the "JetBlue runway," only one of two players featured on the latest "Ford Fit" video.
Showing off his outfit of the day, mid-walk with phone in hand and buds in ears, Brown may have taken a cue from Jayson Tatum, who kept it cozy on Monday with a simple pullover sweater, and chilled on Wednesday in a fuzzy toffee brown sweater, resting his knee.
Brown brought a similar mellow winter vibe to his tunnel walk, sporting a Rick Owens Tour Jacket, recognizable for its distinctive slanted zipper style.
According to one retailer, the jacket is "constructed from 100% virgin wool," with additional details like a "recycled rubber accent draped from the shoulder to the left sleeve" and a pocket made from alpaca wool -- warmer than standard sheep's wool, a practical choice for the increasingly frigid air.
Brown looked cool in his warm wool, which gently evoked one of 2024's animal-forward fashion trends: faux fur. Real fur fell off due to ethical and sustainability concerns, but faux fur had a moment this year.
Fur was big in 2024, driven by the trending "Mob Wives" moment that persisted on runways and as streetwear, and continues with Cardi B advertising it on Instagram as the year comes to a close.
As we look back and take in all of the "wrapped" content, faux fur deserves a spot in the year-end fashion review as wool's less traditional and often flashier cousin.
People love the material for a quick luxurious fix that comes in a variety of colors and shapes. It's cool. It's warm. It can be folded into trends and social selling experiences. It's easy fancy that can be styled as a long trench, a 1980s-inspired mink, a cropped bomber, or part of a mixed-material ensemble.
And while wool is not technically fur, it is an "animal hair," albeit structurally different -- much like how Brown embodies everyday looks while innovating new ones. Wool, unlike its trendier counterpart, has a timeless appeal, especially in a cold city like Boston.
