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

OK, so they go to Downing Street to celebrate their win with the high and mighty of the land ... But who the f**k thought that combination of baggy trousers, grey, black, long shorts, low heeled shoes, a bit of white here and there was The Look?

Are they trying make them look like men because women's football shouldn't be allowed? Did any of them have the opportunity to say "actually, those big, baggy trousers don't suit me"? Because they don't for a lot of them...

I looked up these photographs. The clothes are very unflattering. Like prison issud garments. They're dreadful.

sashh · 29/07/2025 06:59

They looked fab.

Those trousers are bang on trend and very comfortable . I’d love to know where they come from.

Marks and Spencer's apparently.

TaupeLemur · 29/07/2025 06:57

They look great. The end.

Honestly???

And what did you think of the tournament and the final?

I fucking despair.

'Too long' I meant to say!

This thread is embarrassing, particularly the OP.

It was a great achievement, always nice to see some sporting inspiration.

How do you know it's a woman? Plenty of men post on here.

It doesn't sound like a man.although it could be, I suppose.If it is a man he's been hanging round here too and picking up bad habits!

What I liked about that Downing Street photo was the way they had each put their own individual choice in to mixing up the items from the team uniform, so they gave the photo some spontaneity and a sense of fun.
They were still clearly a team, but they were also individuals. I thought it it was so much more interesting than having them dressed like a row of identically dressed air hostesses, which is so often the case with team photos.

The event itself seems to have been quite informal, meeting the Deputy Prime Minister, held in the garden of Number 10. So their clothes were appropriate for that setting.

I also liked that so many of them were wearing flat shoes, not teetering along in stilettos.

Yes I liked that too.

Winning the European cup was a superb representation of the country. Their clothes are irrelevant.
Why is it that women so often attack other women on grounds of fashion and appearance? Male commentators stuck to the girls' performance and skills; women couldn't wait to start criticising the European champions for how they look.

They are representing the country. They should look smart. Tailored navy trousers or tailored shorts would look better than baggy beige.

Yes, they won the Euros! Fabulous!
But the topic is about the badly fitting outfits and people are allowed an opinion.
They deserved better stylists. They were let down by M&S.

Lilactimes · 29/07/2025 05:21

Yes but they won the Euros!!

Their outfits are secondary to this brilliant achievement ❤️ and not overly important .

They look fine.

ZippyStork · 29/07/2025 04:50

Congratulations to them!
But, I thought the same. Badly fitting and frumpy outfits.

Angelou79 · 29/07/2025 03:47

I loved the trousers, comfortable, practical & slightly sexy with the waistcoats. Not exactly sure about shorts but horses for courses live & let live!

EatingHealthy · 29/07/2025 03:44

Come on op, even I, who is completely uninterested in fashion, know that big baggy trousers are currently the fashion (it seems practically impossible to get anything else in the shops). Just because you're behind the times doesn't mean they should be too.

PistachioTiramisuLimoncello · 29/07/2025 03:26

It’s fashion op.
Not sure why everyone keeps banging on about cabin crew…?

Caerulea · 29/07/2025 02:19

What would you have liked? Some difficult to walk in heels? Cinched waists? Bit of of cleavage? Fancy updo's? Clingy trousers?

Clothing that emphasises their femininity?

Some flowers? Fluffy bunnies? Cuddly toys?

Heavy make-up? Dangling earrings

Things that women are expected to wear so the focus is on their femaleness detracting from their skill & the hard work it took to get there?

Maybe some vapid smiles & glazed, empty eyes?

Content for the creepy fuckers to post on their social media?

Clothes are just fabric, not gendered, just fabric for comfort

What, exactly do you think they should have been wearing?

I have to agree that the trousers in particular look bloody awful.

These are all young, fit women and the outfits don't do them.any justice at all!

But then, if they're M and S outfits then I'm not surprised. I don't think they attract many young women as their style in general is aimed at older women.

I never think to look at clothes there as, in my eyes, it's a shop for grannies!

Oh here we go with the ageism.

I simple navy slim leg trouser suit with or without waistcoats would have looked really nice.

Those beige trousers look so over sized that they look like trousers a clown might wear!

goingtotown · 29/07/2025 01:18

The beige trousers look like cheap polyester.
