The quarterback has attributed his fashion sense to his mother, telling GQ he's always been "in tune with the fashion trends."
"My mom's into it, and she’s done a great job of letting me choose and find things that I like and just giving me options," Dart told GQ. "At the same time, it's just something that I've come to really love and to express myself in different ways."
Dart added that even in college, he'd reach out to his mom for fashion advice.
"A lot of times for pre-game walkouts and whatnot, I'll give her a heads-up of what I'm thinking. And then if I have any questions, if I'm deciding between one fit or the other, I'll reach out to her to get her opinion—if it's too far out there or if it's okay," Dart told GQ. "I've relied on her for a lot of things in the fashion world. At the same time, I think she gives great input. She worked at Nordstrom growing up, so she's always been a part of it."
