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

[BasilParsley]

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...

People in professional positions are expected to dress or behave in certain ways in certain situations. When the men's team undertake formal occasions, they wear suits.

Hardly. You/we have no idea what the team members thought - they may have loved these outfits and dressing as a team. But I imagine that, whilst celebrating a hard won prestigious trophy, they would think this a pretty trivial thing for someone to focus on.

The waistcoats were alright, and some people might look OK in the shorts though. like the trousers, they were not well cut and as you say you'd need to be very tall and willowy to wear this assortment. The trousers were absolutely shapeless, I can't imagine that anybody would feel or look their best in them. willowy, athletic or whatever shape you were. And, again as you said, beige is .... well, beige. Few would choose it.

@angela1952 An opportunity lost I feel.

I feel it's a shame they didn't have something that befitted their status to wear for such an occasion.

@angela1952 Yes. Agree. I suspect some of them are only comfortable in sports clothes but good sports clothes look better than the suits, in my view.

Yeah, they're pretty awful outfits.

I think they look insane, I actually love the looks and they all look streamlined and uniform and not trying too hard ❤

To be honest I think it's more a reflection on the crap quality from M&S than the Lionesses.

I asked a 21 year old woman and she loved the trousers

M&S has some pretty decent clothes now. These were not their best offering by a long way. My 30 year old laughed!

I love the fact they aren’t conforming to some old fashioned beauty standard of what a woman ‘dressed up’ should look like… ie dresses, heels, clutch purses etc like they’re aunts at a wedding! They’re young athletes and can dress how they like.

I like the style – clean, quite masculine, interestingly cut and shaped clothes – but the M&S iteration of it is in dull colours and badly made. Somewhere like Cos does this sort of look a lot better.

Maybe, but Cos wasn’t paying a fortune to sponsor the team! Now they’re undeniably successful perhaps they’ll have more choice re sponsors though I would imagine would always try to use U.K. companies for some stuff at least
