With flip-up shades and flowing locks, Josh Rutledge is your new fashion icon

These are fashion icons. It may be time to add one more to the list: Red Sox infielder Josh Rutledge. Making his 2016 debut during the Red Sox's Patriots Day game against the Blue Jays, Rutledge also unveiled a retro futuristic style that is sure to make him your new go-to when asking for haircuts or figuring out what eyewear to rock. 
In the second inning, Rutledge doubled off J.A. Happ, which allowed him to pull off a shampoo commercial-style hairflip when he reached the base. 

Rutledge even made sure he looked classically cool when in the field. Sure, he hasn't yet found a way to incorporate a leather jacket into his uniform, but he was wearing a pair of flip-up sunglasses, otherwise known as the coolest shades a human can wear. 

We fully expect Marc Jacobs' next fashion line to be full of Rutledge-inspired pieces.
