This was my first year covering Apple's WWDC, and as I typed furiously to update our readers about the latest iPad OS updates it struck me that no one was talking about what really matters: Apple Daddy Craig Federighithe fashion. The style choices were classic Apple (streamlined and simple) with the exception of a single track suit which was so delightful that I now desperately wish to call it my own (Apple, I can and willsend you my address). From hoodies to heels, here are some of the best outfits we saw on Apple employees at WWDC 2022.
Kevin, or "zen dude" as I called him in my hurriedly-scribbled notes, is serving us upscale white-male-in-tech chic. A hoodie, tee, jeans, and sneakers, all completely inappropriate for the yoga studio he finds himself in. Zuck would be proud.

"Sorry Kyle, wrong door!" Federighi apologizes as he leaves. Sure it was, Craig.

Here, Schubert is rocking what looks like a black rubber wedge with a white sole. Her army green bomber is a nice choice for a modern neutral.
Dressed in head-to-toe Nike, Bolton feels like the stylish track coach I never had. In some lights, his suit appears green but actually looks to be a classic Apple space grey.

I’ve been resisting comparing clothing color choices to Apple products, but this particular shade does remind me of the 2018 iPhone XR's yellow.

Upon closer inspection, her pants are made of either black leather or black pleather, a bold choice for a sunny day on a baking basketball court.

And so are the safety features Skinner introduced, which were designed to give people in abusive relationships more control over how and where their personal information is shared.
Credit: AppleGo off, monochrome king! I really wish he would have gone with a lighter, grey-toned shirt as a base, but I love the matching glasses and bomber. I honestly doubt Cook dressed himself today (the man makes $92 million a year, he should be delegating his shopping) so I'd really like to extend my congratulations to his stylist.

He started the day walking around demo-ing the latest tech like a normie, but by the end was running in slo-mo to a pop rock song called "Thoughts About You" on his way to updating us about the changes coming to iPad OS 16.
Credit: Apple.I audibly gasped when Federighi appeared on screen in this stunning set, looking like the tribute-to-beat in the Apple Hunger Games. The white is a clean choice, and the stripes are giving us Fruit Stripe Gum and 70's camper van realness. Federighi gets docked half a point for his sneakers which, while sharp, are more of a cream than the blinding white this outfit calls for, but he earns it back for his basketball prop work.
