In Monza, Lewis Hamilton goes to work in full corpcorp

Lewis Hamilton once again demonstrated that his influence extends well beyond the racetrack at the Monza Grand Prix in Italy. Although he finished fifth in the race, when it comes to fashion, Hamilton was, as always, in pole position. The Mercedes driver, who is also a GQ cover star, showcased yet another striking look, this time fully embracing the corporate aesthetic, or “corpcore,” as it’s becoming known.

Throughout the week leading up to the race, Hamilton had already made headlines with a series of preppy outfits, featuring designers like JW Anderson and Wales Bonner. However, as he approached the race weekend, Hamilton switched gears, opting for a more business-oriented ensemble that was both sophisticated and stylish.

The outfit in question was from Burberry, specifically from Daniel Lee’s sophomore collection. This collection is a tribute to British heritage and tailoring, with subtle nods to the craftsmanship of Savile Row. Hamilton’s choice for the day included a wool-silk blend waistcoat paired with straight-leg wool trousers, epitomizing the refined yet professional look Lee aimed to achieve. The ensemble was accented by a silver charm that dangled from the belt loops, adding a touch of flair to the otherwise understated outfit. While it might have lacked the typical office staples such as a shirt, tie, or the inevitable ‘All Staff Company Reshuffle’ Google Meeting reminder, the corporate vibe was unmistakable.

As always, Hamilton’s mastery of fashion was evident in the details. His accessories played a crucial role in elevating the look from a mere imitation of office wear to a standout fashion statement.

First among these was a pearl necklace from the London-based studio A Sinner In Pearls. The piece, known as the ‘Freshwater Pearl Necklace,’ retails for £170 and has been a constant in Hamilton’s wardrobe throughout the weekend. On this particular outfit, the necklace provided a striking contrast, adding a touch of elegance and softness to the structured ensemble.

Next were his sunglasses by Port Tanger, a brand known for its Japanese craftsmanship and Mediterranean influences. Hamilton chose the rectangular ‘Mektoub’ style, which retails at £260. These sunglasses complemented the outfit perfectly, enhancing the overall sophisticated yet edgy look.

Hamilton’s accessories also included some more exclusive items. He sported an IWC Portugieser Sidérale Scafusia watch, a luxury timepiece that underscores his status as a fashion icon. His boots, designed by David Koma, are a piece not yet available to the public and won’t be on the market until March next year. Completing the look was a custom diamond and pearl ring created by jeweler Alex Moss, a piece that added a final touch of opulence.

For Hamilton, it was just another day at the office — albeit a high-fashion one. His sartorial choices continue to turn heads and set trends, proving that whether on or off the track, he remains a leader in the fashion stakes. Even as rumors swirl about his future move to Ferrari, Hamilton’s ability to dominate the style game shows no signs of slowing down.
