They say athletes are superstitious, but what about the WAGs?<\/p>\n
These days, Jordyn Woods<\/a>\u2014who is engaged to New York Knicks power forward Karl-Anthony Towns\u2014has her own routine down to a science. \u201cOnce playoffs start, everything becomes part of the ritual if we keep winning,\u201d Woods tells Vogue<\/em> after Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals<\/a>, where the Knicks bested the Cleveland Cavaliers, 109-93. \u201cWe\u2019re nine wins in, and now I have my lucky Woods by Jordyn bag, my game-day GRWMs on TikTok, and a watch I refuse to take off. At this point, I\u2019m not risking changing anything.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI created a sample of the Tux Clutch Mini specifically for the playoffs. I wore it for Game 1 during one of my TikTok GRWMs, and ever since then we\u2019ve kept winning, so now it\u2019s officially become the lucky bag,\u201d she adds of her orange ostrich clutch. \u201cIt\u2019s gotten to the point where if people don\u2019t see me carrying it during a close game, they start blaming me for changing the routine. So let\u2019s just say the bag isn\u2019t leaving my side anytime soon.\u201d<\/p>\n While Woods is sticking by her lucky bag, there\u2019s room for a bit of spontaneity in the rest of her look. \u201cMy outfits are completely mood-based. Usually there\u2019s one piece I know I want to wear, and then I build the look around it,\u201d she says. Still, she\u2019s subject to game-time decisions. \u201cMost of the time I\u2019m putting everything together an hour before I leave the house. Somehow the pressure always makes the look better.\u201d<\/p>\n One of Woods\u2019s favorite parts of the season is working with tailors and artists to bring Knicks-themed (and KAT-themed) looks to life. \u201cMy favorite pieces usually start as an idea in my head and come to life with the help of an incredible tailor who can execute the vision,\u201d she says. \u201cI\u2019ll literally bring her a T-shirt or a pair of jeans and we\u2019ll start cutting, pinning, and rebuilding it from there. I love the collaborative process of turning something simple into a one-of-one piece.\u201d<\/p>\n For Game 2, she settled on a denim jacket with a photo of Towns on the back, along with his name (bedazzled in Knicks orange, of course) and number (32), and a pair of customized white pointy-toe pumps.<\/p>\n While Woods notes that she\u2019ll always rep whatever team Towns plays for, \u201cNew York sets the bar incredibly high.\u201d She adds: \u201cThe energy inside Madison Square Garden is unreal, and somehow the games almost always manage to give everyone a heart attack in the final minutes. There\u2019s really nothing like a home game at the Garden.\u201d<\/p>\n
