If you’re thinking of fashion icons, England manager Gareth Southgate might not be the first name that springs to mind. The Three Lions boss is often self-deprecating when it comes to his looks, after all, but one style choice at Euro 2024 has earned admirers.
Southgate, of course, has been a trend-setter before: his waistcoast at Russia 2018 was described by Harper’s Bazaar as “England’s unexpected sartorial hit of the World Cup”, with Marks & Spencer admitting that sales of the clothing item were up by an impressive 35 per cent.
The Gareth Southgate effect, it was known as, and at Euro 2024 has been happening again: with England set to face Spain in the final of the continental competition on Sunday, this time it is the manager’s polo shirt which is turning heads.
