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...

Not my taste, they do look like men's suits. I get why it might look a bit like they're dressing up as blokes 'cause they're footballers. I hope it's just fashion, I don't really follow trends but I think baggy is 'in' at the moment so it may just be unfortunate timing that the win comes when the fashion is to wear a more masculine cut. Would have looked much worse if they'd been stuffed into little summery frocks and heels though.

I gave seen the photo, and I thought they looked smart and comfortable, without being gussied up. The alternative (Red, white and blue? High heels? Tight trouser suits?) could potentially have been very "1980s cabin crew", which is definitely not a good look.

Edited

Exactly! UK branded cabin crew would be awful.

My DD would wear those trousers. Not from M&S though Grin

I really couldn't care less what they wear but having seen it they look OK to me. Their achievement is more important than what they're wearing.

SparklyGlitterballs · 28/07/2025 22:35

I thought they looked great. They want to be admired for their athletic achievement, not for what they look like. I'm glad they weren't put in anything that showed off their legs/boobs/bums etc as they're so much more than that.

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

How are they representing their country here - they are in their country being celebrated for their win?

Anyway they look fine - feels like their are many old fashioned people here who want them decked out like flight attendants.

I made much the same comment about the men’s team’s outfits when they returned home from the last World Cup, after winning nothing, again.

In 2010…

SouthernNights59 · 28/07/2025 22:33

Good grief! I was wondering what on earth they were wearing so had a look. They look great, happy and comfortable.

M103 · 28/07/2025 22:30

They look fab!

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

News flash - different age groups dress differently.

AFrolicOfMyOwn · 28/07/2025 22:28

I liked their outfits. They looked relaxed but well turned out - and although there was a colour scheme I had the impression all, or at least most of them, were wearing the things they were happiest with. (Hadn’t known about M&S sponsorship but that makes sense.)

And navy trousers would have turned them into cabin crew. At least they looked contemporary.

Ritasueandbobtoo9 · 28/07/2025 22:25

I think they look nice. Surely we want girls to have normal looking role models?

the80sweregreat · 28/07/2025 22:24

Considering they probably didn’t have much sleep Sunday evening they looked fab!

mamagogo1 · 28/07/2025 22:24

The wideleg trousers and waistcoats are ok, the shorts are definitely a miss

thatone · 28/07/2025 22:24

I think they look fine.

very low-effort goading, OP

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

I can’t see the photo but I am pretty sure they all look well turned out. I doubt they would wear it if they didn’t like it.

Iwiicit · 28/07/2025 22:21

They all look absolutely fine to me.

Bad enough when the men comment on their fashion…

Well that didn't work but you can buy it from M and S
