Style Is A Gift: Kimmi Chex

In the spirit of our "Style of a Gift" holiday campaign, we had the pleasure of chatting with the on-air host for the NFL Network's flagship show, Total Access, Kimmi Chex, to delve into the nuances of her personal style and the sentiments that make the holidays special for her.

Tell us about yourself. What do you want the True Fam to know?

Beyond my job, which is truly just one small piece of my life, I am a badass new mom with a passion for breaking barriers and being an example along the way. I love all things pop culture, fashion, and football, too.

How are you spending the holidays this year?

Holidays mean football, so I get to be one of the faces and voices that fill millions of homes over the holidays watching NFL Football. Though I'll be working, my house is fully decked out in Christmas décor, so every day feels like a mini celebration. Work can't stop my hustle of cooking for our friends & family and hosting dinner parties all December. I love a good holiday turn-up at my house [laughs].

Where does your sense of style come from? 

I pull from a hybrid of different influences. I'm very much in my cozy era and prioritize clothes that can be dressed down or dressed up depending on how you style them with a sexy heel, killer jacket, chunky jewelry, etc. I am an only child, so my whole life, I've snuck into my mom's closet to play dress up with her clothes, and so much of her effortless style with classic pieces has rubbed off on me. 

How do you express your creativity through what you wear? 

Because of the accessibility to "look" into people's lives via social media, I try to be super intentional about not following the trends or what I see many other people wearing. Because of that, I try to be creative in my own way so people can look to me for inspo. My expression comes from turning the traditional on its head and making people feel like they can dress "classic" even in nonclassical moments. Hopefully, people look at my expression of fashion as a direct reflection of someone who is effortlessly themself.
