So, whether you’re a year-long football fan or someone who likes to cosplay as one because you love the sporty aesthetic, it’s safe to say that a football jersey is bound to become an IT piece of the summer. From June 11th until July 19th, you will have ample opportunities to figure out your own take. Will you embrace the sportswear uniform and pair your jersey with a pair of retro running shorts? Or will you play with opposites and layer your jersey under a long skirt? Honestly, the options are endless.
Obviously, the first step is acquiring a football jersey. If you wish to cheer for a specific team, your safest bet is to source one via sports brands like Nike, Puma or Adidas who produce the original pieces. Otherwise, look for a vintage sample via eBay and Vinted or just get a country-agnostic piece courtesy of high-street brands like ASOS or Urban Outfitters.
To make sure you’re warmed up for hot footie summer, we’ve created a few different options on how to style a football shirt.
