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...

They looked dreadful.

Thankfully, how they look is the least interesting thing about them.

It’s the official clothing designed by Marks and Spencer so they select what they wanted to wear from the combinations. The clothes are tailored, whether they’re the OP’s choice is neither here or there. They have made history and am sick of people picking at things. My 8 year old who didn’t want to play football anymore because she got sick of boys telling her she can’t play or is rubbish, has asked for a Hannah Hampton shirt and is practicing goal kicks.

I think they look absolutely fine - tailored trousers and jackets? Bah! They don’t need to look like the blokes - they are more successful and female!

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.

Edited

I just googled but I agree with this. They look fairly co-ordinated and like they chose what they liked best from the collection.

Personally I don't think the beige wide trousers are particularly flattering but overall they look fine.

I agree OP it’s bland and looks drab…

Onleemoi · 29/07/2025 13:55

Yes, very much joking. Baffled why anyone is talking about what these amazing women are wearing after what they’ve achieved.

I hope you’re joking, but it’s difficult to tell on this thread.

In case you aren’t: a) they are sportswomen so sportswear is completely appropriate - and b) much more fashionable for women their age than “a nice blouse”

100 THIS....

I could never imagine a guy strapping up their own leg the way Lucy Bronze did !

Nope. M&S are the official outfitter of all England squads.

The men had awful bomber jackets last year.

Yeah I remember a video with the team trying on the suits and shoes and a lot of them were clearly in wrong sizes/fit for some of the players. There is so much sartorial heritage in the UK, shame the team cannot use their visibility to highlight it.

For the dissection or for the men to win a major tournament?

She looked so happy!

I know!
I meant Burna not Burns Boy obvs. Typo.

EmeraldShamrock000 · 29/07/2025 12:50

Comfortable, smart and masculine. IMO.

mochimoons · 29/07/2025 12:48

I love the outfits! I think they look smart without looking old fashioned or stuffy.

Westfacing · 29/07/2025 12:47

Sarina and Burna Boy! Smile

LavenderHaze19 · 29/07/2025 12:46

It’s not my personal style but I think they look great. Smart and comfortable and relaxed.

Also, fashions change. I think today’s fashion can be a bit difficult for those of us who are over a certain age and were raised on a diet of heels and bodycon dresses to understand.

As an aside, I'm watching the parade and getting extremely emotional. Massive turn-out, and all those women and girls in the crowd.
Really classy move to bring the backroom staff out for a round of applause and cheers too.

SheWaits · 29/07/2025 12:38

They are bloody horrible outfits to be fair.

They are wearing sportswear on the bus no sign of hems yet !

I shudder to think about the hems on the shorts.
