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'm 49 and wear wide legged trousers and a waistcoat top for work sometimes. I'm a size ten and tall and not in my dotage

I never said you were?

Clearly OP is out of touch though, with those views.

BlueEyedBogWitch · 28/07/2025 22:49

I think they looked really cool!

FacingTheWall · 28/07/2025 22:48

Usually with the sports team ‘uniforms’ they get to choose what they want to wear from a selection of various items, it’s the same for the Olympic teams etc. They look great.

Thedoorisalwaysopen · 28/07/2025 22:48

I thought they looked a bit ridiculous tbh. But hey - they won!!!

Sorry, but I'm not goading, I'm just not understanding That Look ...

You don’t need to understand the look. If they are comfortable and like what they are wearing that’s all that matters.

DorothyWainwright · 28/07/2025 22:47

I thought they looked good. Much smarter than everyone in a dull suit that doesn't work for anyone. At least they were allowed to wear what they felt comfortable in.

Merlin23 · 28/07/2025 22:47

They were designed by M&S

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 28/07/2025 22:47

Had to google it. It screams Marks and the trousers look a bit cheap and nasty in that colour imo. But they all look good.

Couldn’t care less, think they are all amazing!
why are we continuing to judge them in their outfit

Well, you're not, and neither am I or others here.

As it happens, I hate these outfits, but I don't care about them.

There seem to be several options being worn in the photos ive seen. Presumably they were allowed to choose what they wanted to wear from a selection . No one could be sure they would win so maybe the outfits were put together very quickly when they realised they were going to Downing Street . They are athletes not fashion models.

onceuponatimeinneverland · 28/07/2025 22:45

Baggy is in fashion, as are waistcoats.

Clearinguptheclutter · 28/07/2025 22:42

if you’re thinking colours of the flag, blue would have been a total no-no (matched with red and white anyway)

My fault, I forgot to actually quote the post. I was responding to this…

I'm sure they could have picked nicer clothes themselves - maybe in red, white and blue or red and white for England

spoonbillstretford · 28/07/2025 22:44

If it's the M&S Collection, I won't be buying it as I already have enough wide leg trousers and waistcoats in my wardrobe, but it looks nice and presentable to me, just normal smart fashionable clothing.

Are you familiar with fashion @BasilParsley ? It's not the 1950s and women don't have to wear a full skirt and have a matching handbag with some heeled court shoes. Women wear trousers today you know.

Wow. You are so incredibly out of line.

This - in SPADES

ToInfiniteaAndBeyond · 28/07/2025 22:29

They’re dressing appropriately and fashionably for their age group - most of them are in their 20s.

News flash - different age groups dress differently.

I like the outfits. They all look smart and comfortable. They’d have looked absolutely ridiculous in red, white and blue.

NoNameisGoodEnough · 28/07/2025 22:41

They look much better than I would have after 120 mins of intense football, penalties and a long night of celebrations! I think they are an absolute inspiration.

AllHoityToity · 28/07/2025 22:41

I like it, especially the mix and match element. The ones in shorts look great.

Tailored navy trousers…they don’t work for the gas board as my granny used to say.

Clearinguptheclutter · 28/07/2025 22:41

I quite liked the trousers. Not the shorts tho.

I did wonder if there was a dress option and if not, if they were ok with that

if it were me I’d want to wear a nice dress to go to number 10!

JuniperJuly · 28/07/2025 22:41

I long for the day when women can be recognised for what they achieved and not what they wore.

BlueyNeedsToFuckOff · 28/07/2025 22:39

They look fine to me. The purple ribbon and winners’ medals stand out nicely against the clothes, which is what they’re actually being celebrated for rather than their fashion sense.
