Trend: football fit check

Football and fashion have become increasingly intertwined over the past few years and with the start of the Euro Championship this month, Zalando have rounded up some of the best football fit checks.

This summer is all about embracing the cool girl aesthetic and showing your support for your team. So get inspired by the ‘Blockette’ trend of combining a traditionally masculine football shirt with ultra feminine pieces. Think of unexpected combinations!

For example, a soccer shirt with a pleated skirt from Maje and Miu Miu’s show-inspired chunky pumps, a maxi skirt from Yas worn with Salomon sneakers, or Ancuta Sarca shoes paired with a sequined skirt from Rabanne for a totally unexpected look.

This summer is all about embracing the cool girl aesthetic and showing your support for your team. Building on the ‘Blockette’ trend of matching a traditional ‘bloke’ style jersey with ultra feminine pieces, think of pairing the unexpected. A football jersey with a Maje pleated skirt and a chunky loafer, taking inspiration from the Miu Miu catwalk, a Yas maxi skirt worn with a Salomon trainer, or Ancuta Sarca footwear paired with a Rabanne sequin skirt give the ultimate unexpected fit.

Shifting away from ‘Blockette’, the 90s and 00s offer further inspo for the football inspired fashion. Football inspired baby tees worn with low-waisted denim jeans and jorts (denim shorts), styled with shoulder bags and chunky chains give a laid back yet chic look.

For menswear, vintage pieces are key for the football fit check look, whether that it’s 70s style tailoring matched with a vintage jersey and loafers or a 90s football jersey worn with oversized denim and Y2K sunglasses.
