5 Ways To Style A Soccer Jersey Ahead Of The World Cup | Apparel9

Last summer, European soccer dominated sports bars and our Instagram feeds, plus women’s soccer particularly gained more global momentum. Since then, sporty fashion has taken over the runways and the fourth season announcement of Ted Lasso have brought soccer even more into the cultural spotlight. And this summer, the sport is going to be even more present as the FIFA World Cup touches down in North America between June 11 and July 19.

From celebrity-approved track shorts and cleats to sold-out collaborations like from Adidas and Asos, the soccer aesthetic has officially taken over. And TikTok has crowned the ultimate summer MVP of the sporty trend: the soccer jersey.

I first noticed the look last year while scrolling on Pinterest and TikTok — girls styling soccer jerseys for more than just game day. Then I started spotting them IRL across NYC, worn to brunch, drinks, and just about everything in between. As someone who grew up watching and playing soccer, the resurgence made me nostalgic and sartorially intrigued.

Ahead, see how I styled a few jerseys for everyday settings, from casual errands to the office and even nights out with capris, maxi skirts, sneakers, and ballet flats in the mix. While I own many country-specific jerseys, luckily, so many of our favorite retailers are selling cropped, collared, and oversized jerseys that you can effortlessly wear, even if you don’t rep a specific team. But, hey, we’re not being performative! We’re styling these jerseys, gathering our friends, and heading to sports bars or holding viewing parties all summer long (starting now)!
