TEMPE, Ariz. -- Everyone knows about the hats, but there’s more to Arizona Cardinals coach Bruce Arians’ style.

At the NFL owners meetings in Boca Raton, Florida, on Wednesday, Arians showed up for the NFC coaches breakfast in a red sport coat with a large white pattern, white shirt and white driver’s cap. Arians' style fits in better at the club than an NFL coaches office.

It's who he is and has always been. That didn’t change when he became a head coach.

“This has been me forever,” Arians said.

He explained where his passion for clothes and style was developed.

“I was a poor kid growing up and I had to go to a school where you had to wear (a) coat and tie (in) high school,” Arians said. “I didn’t have one, so my uncle gave me one that didn’t fit and I had to wear it every day, so I went and got a job.

“I started working at the Kodak factory to make sure I had clothes. I’ve been that way ever since.”

Arians, who wears stylish shoes on the sideline during games and sometimes sports trendy button-down shirts to his Monday news conferences, said he didn’t just shop for himself.

“I’m probably one of the few guys that used to buy all my wife’s clothes,” he said. “Now we’ve got enough money, she only shops at certain stores. God bless her for it.”
