WHAT TO WEAR TO WATCH THE FOOTBALL

For the tournament this year, England is seeing red instead of the familiar blue of their 2022 kit. If you ask us, that sounds like a sign of determination for that trophy. With such a vivid hue taking centre stage, we’re embracing classic terracecore. Think jorts, techy trainers and all the attitude. And when it comes to accessories, we’re feeling extra inspired by Victoria Beckham’s iconic footie ‘fits of the 00s. While we’re not going full Posh Spice with tank tops and low-rise jeans, these aviators make a similarly A-list statement. Now you can arrive in style to the pub, your friend’s house or wherever the match-day motive is being held.

Don’t want to risk wearing the same sportswear jersey as someone else? Spain has put a spin on the traditional football shirt by cropping it – the classic football credentials remain, just adjusted to show a bit of midriff. And with such a playful design, it’s only right to pair it with hyperfeminine styles. Nod to girlhood with a pleated skirt, and seal the preppy deal with a pair of loafers. Plus, with the sun shining and the pub probably packed like sardines, this breezy option is both stylish and practical.

Brazil simply never disappoints when it comes to football shirts, and this year they’ve stuck with a bold blue, just like they did in 2022. And if you’re craving a dopamine boost, add an adidas Firebird track top in the country’s unmistakable yellow-and-green palette. These two tones have become its sartorial signature, and there’s no better time to flaunt it than during a match. Pair your kit with a sun-ready miniskirt to reflect Brazil’s balmy, beachy vibes. Not only does it tone down the eye-catching jersey, but adds some cheeky Y2K feels into the mix, too.

The reigning champions – Argentina – are more than worthy of a sartorial salute. We're going big on baggy, keeping the look laidback with head-to-toe loose silhouettes. Slip into your favourite pair of baggy jeans and let them puddle over a pair of adidas Superstars. Plus, the iconic blue-and-white-striped shirt is perfectly nautical, too. So if you’re jetsetting this season, it’s the perfect investment for styling with all your holiday-ready bits.

Not sworn allegiance to any team? No worries – show your support for style, instead. Whether you’re glory hunting or simply at the function for the vibes, this adidas shirt is an elevated alternative to a standard jersey. And with summer on our minds, enter an iconic aesthetic: western. After festival season, you’ll likely have a plethora of boho, suede and rodeo-ready styles eager to make an appearance elsewhere. So pair this top with distressed denim, cowboy boots and a fringed bag for an effortless win.
