Some people just have an incredible presence no matter what they’re wearing. It’s instantly noticeable and most often has more to do with attitude and body language than anything else. But, a fashionable wardrobe definitely comes into play as these individuals have usually figured out what works for them – and use the knowledge to choose well when building or editing personal ensembles. Our Closet Envy series is all about getting up close and personal with these personalities, and (of course) sharing the best details with you.

Soccer players are known to have an incredible eye for fashion, and defender Jalil Anibaba is no exception. He’s one of Nashville’s newest residents, and once he arrived with the city’s new Major League Soccer team, he was sure to bring his effortless sense of style with him. When he’s not on the pitch, he’s lounging in his newest set of sweats or exploring Nashville in one of his many pairs of beloved sneakers. Catch a glimpse inside Jalil’s closet as he juggles soccer and style.
