Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's style is seen as 'modest' but it's actually not in every sense of it! Get to know the brand behind his famous grey tees.

Mark Zuckerberg loves his Brunello Cucinelli tee-shirts in 'Marl Grey'

Mark Zuckerberg is known for his 'modest style'; a grey plain looking t-shirt over denim and kicks but those plain tees don't come cheap at N126, 270 ($400)!

With a style raved as 'modest' because of its simplicity, Mark Zuckerberg's everyday look isn't in your average t-shirt as he wears custom made Brunello Cucinelli tee-shirts in Marl Grey. He orders them in bulk at a minimum purchase unit of $400 (and that's because he orders in bulk otherwise a piece will set him back at a whooping $700 per one).

Brunello Cucinelli is an eponymous Italian fashion brand retailing menswear, women's wear and accessories across Italy, Switzerland, Belgium, the United States, France, Germany, Austria, Canada, China and Japan.

The Facebook CEO customizes his own grey tees to feature the original 3 emblem Facebook insignia on the upper left chest of each piece. Before the grey t-shirt over jeans became his everyday style, the billionaire had been pictured in hoodies, sweats and more urban casual looks.

Zuckerberg once told The Guardian he choose to wear grey t-shirts everyday because he won't "spend any of my energy on things that are silly or frivolous" and would rather not spend time thinking through what to wear every morning but they are not your average t-shirts!

Even when not necessarily in your face, Mark Zuckerberg sure knows a thing about premium style.
