Mark Zuckerberg is in his fashion designer era

• Mark Zuckerberg is leaning into his new style status.
• Zuckerberg has upgraded his everyday wardrobe to more custom pieces and high-tech accessories.
• The Meta CEO is dabbling in fashion design, and the internet is loving it.

After finally ditching his daily navy tees to show off more of his personal style, Mark Zuckerberg is taking his fashion journey a step further.

It seems like the internet can't get enough of the Meta CEO's new look, whether he's seen in a new gold chain or anything other than a blank T-shirt and jeans.

And it looks like Zuck is leaning in. We can officially add "fashion designer" to his long list of achievements.

When a user posted on Threads that they wanted to find the shirt he was wearing in a video, Zuckerberg responded, "I designed it myself."

The Meta CEO was once known as the Facebook kid who only wore hoodies and blue jeans. Instagram head Adam Mosseri said in June that Zuckerberg spent the majority of his career wearing "the same thing every day for a long time" to save his energy.

But now, at 40, Zuck is dabbling in designing clothes and jewelry, and his company has even got a high-tech eyewear line with Ray-Ban.

The gold chains have a deeper meaning.

Zuckerberg's gold chains were, perhaps, the catalyst for his new style reputation when he first started wearing them.

Earlier this year, a picture of him in a gold necklace became a viral sensation. Since then, Mark has made his own gold chain meme (using Meta AI, of course.)

But the chains have a bigger purpose than upping his aura points. In April Zuckerberg said he was working with a jewelry designer to create the perfect gold necklace dedicated to his daughters.

"I'm in the process of designing a long-term chain," he said in an Instagram post.

He went on to say that the chain would be engraved with the prayer he reads to his children. Although he hasn't said he settled on a design, his necklace in recent Instagram posts has a unique pendant.

His plain t-shirts have gotten an upgrade.

He hasn't seemed to experiment with his clothes quite as much as the new chains, but it certainly looks like he enjoys switching it up.

His attire for special occasions, like the Ambani wedding festivities, has been more embellished and flashy, but Zuckerberg's everyday looks are fresher takes on his beloved t-shirts.

Still, he should get credit for designing his own shirt, even if it's a printed tee.

The one he claimed as his brainchild is a plain white t-shirt with black lettering that reads, "Annos undeviginti natus exercitum privato consilio…" The next line is cut off, but it's a Latin quote from the first Roman emperor, Augustus. (He also sported a Latin t-shirt at his 40th .)

The full quote is, "Annos undeviginti natus exercitum privato consilio et privata impensa comparavi, per quem rem publicam a dominatione factionis oppressam in libertatem vindicavi."

English translation: "At the age of nineteen, I raised an army by private advice and private expense, by which I reclaimed the state for freedom from the oppression of party rule," according to Google Translate.

He's all about the Meta Ray-Bans.

It's unclear exactly how much say Zuckerberg has on the style of Meta's smart glasses lineup, but he's certainly using his influence to promote the high-tech Ray-Bans.

His Instagram is filled with pics of Zuckerberg in them, and he's also developed a gnarly sunglass tan line to prove his allegiance to his Ray-Bans.

Zuck's followers have been loving his swaggy posts on the 'gram this year. The CEO is showing off the capabilities of his products while serving looks (including surfing in a tux while crushing a beer to celebrate the 4th of July.)

And with such a positive response to his new "drip," it won't be surprising if Zuckerberg keeps pushing into the fashion industry. While his printed tees probably won't be seen on a Fashion Week runway in September, more viral moments are surely in store.
