Off to watch the football? Whether you’re watching IRL or tuning in from your sofa – take a look at our blog for some tips on what to wear.
Whether you’re going down the pub to watch the match, or you're heading to the game to watch it live, what to wear to a football game is always a big question. Of course, there's a few things to consider when deciding what to wear. If you’re heading to the stadium to watch the match live in the autumn, for example, then your choice of outfit is going to be very different compared to watching from a beer garden on a summer evening. While you want to look and feel great while you’re watching the match, comfort is just as important, especially if you’re going to be jumping out of your seat whenever your team scores a goal!
Polo Shirts
You can’t go wrong with a classic polo shirt when it comes to what to wear to watch the football, and there are plenty of great options to choose from. Whether you’re watching in the pub with your mates or going to the stadium to watch your team play live, if you don’t want to sport the team jersey to show your support then you can’t go wrong with this Fred Perry Night Green Tipped Polo for a smart yet casual look. The White Casual Tipped Polo from Lyle and Scott is another great choice, too.
Jeans
A pair of jeans works for just about any occasion, and the same goes for a football game. Whether you are heading to watch the match live, or even watching it on your TV at home, jeans are a comfortable, smart staple that look good with anything and on anybody. Check out these Blue Rinse J21 Regular Fit Jeans from Emporio Armani for a style that'll look good with pretty much anything.
Sweaters
If you’re watching a football game outdoors and you know that the temperature is going to drop, then a knitted jumper or a sweater is a perfect choice. Layer it over a t-shirt so that you can take it off or put it back on depending on what you need to keep yourself comfortable. This Malachite Green Tricot CW Sweatshirt from Lyle and Scott is an ideal option, in a stunning colour that looks fabulous with dark or light wash jeans and a fresh pair of kicks.
Lightweight Jackets
For watching a match in an open stadium, it’s important to be prepared for any weather while looking and feeling great at the same time. A lightweight jacket is a good idea as it’s not going to be too warm to wear if the weather is mild, but it’ll protect you against any unexpected showers that might occur mid-match. The C.P Company Undersixteen Boy’s Black Soft Shell Short Hooded Jacket is a fab option that looks great while offering protection from the rain.
Beanies
If you’re watching the football live from the stadium on a chilly winter night, then you’ll need to keep your noggin warm. Look great while you do with this Men's Oxblood Graphic Beanie from Fred Perry. Simple and easy to wear, it’ll keep your head and ears toasty as you enjoy the match. Available in a deep oxblood colour, it goes well with a dark-coloured coat or jacket, and most football related outfits. Even better, it’s ideal if you support Man United or Liverpool, as you can feel like you’re showing even more support.
Shirts
If you are heading to watch the football from the comfort and warmth of somewhere indoors like a pub, restaurant, or bar then you won’t need to worry so much about clothing that keeps you warm and dry and can instead focus more on looking fantastic. A casual shirt is a great option to choose from – they look great and are comfortable too, easily carrying you through if you’re watching the football and then planning to go out for food and drinks before or after the match. This Men’s White Oxford shirt from Fred Perry is a timeless option that you can’t go wrong with, or if you like checked shirts, you’ll love this Men's Shaded Stone Tartan Shirt, also from Fred Perry.
