To think the Lionesses' Outfits in this Picture are Ridiculous?

Here are the boys

Its a female version of a mens suit. I actually quite like it. They have all put their own little spin on it.

And i think its refreshing.

I assumed the team prefers to look vaguely masculine/androgynous?

The shorts were every shade of wrong, though.

If there is a single comment from anyone about what the boys wear should they ever win an international trophy, I will eat my hat.

I love that they had a mix and match selection that they could make their own while still looking like a team. Not personally a massive fan of the shapeless blazers but I thought the waistcoats looked great on everyone who wore one.

They are wearing M&S clothes because that is their sponsor the clothes are part of a collection, it might not be to your taste but I think what you meant is they should be looking more "feminine: and wearing something that you feel reflects that .

I don't know, I'm not a designer or a stylist. But what I said in my post would basically be my brief to give to a designer or stylist.

What would you like them to wear ?

This thread does indeed focus on what they are wearing - it's literally the topic under discussion. There are lots and lots of threads focussing on all the other aspects of the women's team.

12 pages to read I had to Google the outfits , I love them they look fab if I was their age id be wearing clothes like that,infact when I was their age waistcoats and "dress" trousers were in fashion along with fitted jackets so I did wear them Do you not think these young women are pretty/feminine enough op should they be wearing something a bit more sparkly so we know they are women?

Male teams usually have a team casual outfit this is just the same and this team has been sponsored by a clothes shop so they are wearing their clothes.

Hmm, it's not really a great look. Much too old for them, and weirdly dated-looking.
They're all such vivid characters, so energetic, witty, and physically beautiful and athletic. I'd like to see them dressed to reflect that.

And @BasilParsley would you like to comment on Angela Raylnor’s creased trousers. She should perhaps spend more time ironing and less time running the country. Tut! Women today eh? They’ll be giving them the vote next.

Slightly better than the trenchcoats they made them wear three years ago but bottom line, the women have little choice in the matter.
Doubt they have any fucks to give, and nor should they, but my own DD wouldn't be seen dead in M+S clobber so it does look like raiding your mum's wardrobe.

I thought it was great that they’d all chosen mix and match pieces and made Their own outfits while still looking like a team. Clever I thought.

And yes, I agree, you sound like some 1950s throw back op. And i Speak as a woman of mature years who likes to keep an eye on fashion and style.

All of these ‘they’re athletes, not fashion models’ comments are just a way of saying ‘no one expects them to dress well, it’s beyond their capability’.

Pretty insulting way to view the team, tbh.

Yes. That’s their looks.

Their attire is part of their looks.

Who cares what a bunch of athletes look like?

But I never said the lionesses were too busy to choose their outfits - I was referring to your comment with ‘input’ in inverted commas and saying that you couldn’t see the women on the team choosing their designs. I was suggesting that their focus was probably on their actual jobs rather than a victory celebration that was never a certainty.

Their looks are certainly more fashion forward than the standard menswear options for sports teams in similar situations (although that probably speaks more to the boringness of men’s fashion and ideas of masculinity etc which take us right back to tedious gender norms).

Although interested to see your justification for the biscuit eaters comment. What was it about if it wasn’t about the old chestnut of ‘flattering/tailored’ blah blah ultimately meaning thin.

I thought they looked great! I liked how there was clearly a theme but it allowed for some individuality.
It's disappointing to see a thread like this though.

How rude and mean. Do you really think these wonderful young women care what someone like you thinks?

Personally I’m disappointed that they play in such masculine kits, a lot could be done for women and girls in sport if they just looked a little more feminine. Perhaps short dresses like the tennis players wear so we can see their underwear when they jump or stretch.
much more pleasing to the eye.

Nope. No time.
I'm focusing on the suits.

@Mistyglade I think it's you who's hard of understanding the point.

You might want to look again at some of the comments made.

Are you finding it hard to understand?
The comments are not about their faces, their hair, their nails, or their figures.
They are about the quality, colour and style of a suit provided by M&S as promotion for M&S.
That's what sponsorship IS.

The victory parade is at 12.10 today. I’m sure we’ll all eagerly return to this thread to hear OP and friends’ Perfectly Valid Fashion Critique of what the team are wearing then.
