5 minutes with AFL star Will Hayward 

When Sydney Swans forward Will Hayward isn’t kicking goals, he’s busy killing it in the fashion game. We checked in and asked some rapid-fire questions about his personal style, motivations and what his life outside footy looks like. 

"A well-fitted suit is my go-to for special occasions"

- Will Hayward, Footballer

So far, my favourite moment wearing a suit was definitely at the GQ Man of The Year Awards. 

The most famous person I’ve met was LaMelo Ball, a professional NBA player. I was wearing an all-black suit then – I'm usually more of a black and white guy, so I would have changed the shirt! 

If it’s a casual dinner, my usual go-to is a plain linen shirt with some nice pants and sneakers. 

A strong almond cappuccino, hands down. 

I usually like to keep cosy and warm with a hoodie and a puffer jacket, paired with some loose chinos and jeans. 

My day-to-day style usually revolves around a casual, athletic look. My go-to pieces are tracksuit shorts, a baggy t-shirt and comfy sneakers. My favourite colour for clothes is grey, followed closely by blue.  

 I don’t really try to psych myself up, actually! I usually try and stay as relaxed as possible – I find that helps me perform better on the field. 

Team success is my main source of motivation – my main goal driving me is to win a premiership with my teammates.  

Pretty chill. It usually involves walking the dog, catching up with my mates and spending time with my girlfriend Vic.  

I’ve been a fan of green lately – it's a nice change of pace from the usual darker winter colours. I’d pick dark green, chocolate, then burgundy.  

Ice cream, fruit salad, jelly and custard.
