Euro 2016 style moments: grey marl, warm-up kits and Fellaini

When you’re Buffon you can totally wear mismatched gloves

The Italian goalkeeper is not only a supersave expert, he also does a great line in celebratory screaming and looks like a matinee idol. With Euro 2016 his last international tournament, he has decided to go with mismatched neon gloves in goal. That sounds like something designed to brighten up his grey kit, but it’s probably some mind game designed to put off approaching strikers. Buffon, you will be missed.

Marouane Fellaini is the new Carlos Valderrama

The Colombian had great blond afro play in the 90s, and Fellaini – owner of the best afro in the Premier League – has clearly been catching up on his clips on YouTube. Fellaini’s blond afro was a bright spot in Belgium’s performance against Italy. We would definitely be into the addition of a moustache to complete the look.

England’s pre-match kit is way nice than the actual kit

Given the result, many people will be regretting that Jamie Vardy was an unused sub for England’s game against Russia on Saturday night. But those with more of an eye on the fashion felt differently. Shots of Vardy warming up allowed a good look at the stripy warm-up kit. It looked quite Raf Simons, especially when worn under the regulation Uefa bib.

Grey marl is now alpha-manager wear

OK, so he might not have the best personal hygiene, but the German manager’s look is always slick as. Loew-watchers will have observed that it changes – like his team’s strip – for each tournament. 2014’s World Cup-winning navy-blue shirt and grey trousers has been replaced with a grey marl T-shirt and black slacks. Zuckerberg’s power uniform has reached the dugout.

Joe Ledley is the new Andrea Pirlo

Not in football terms, obvs – we’re talking beards. The Italian playmaker is a notable miss at the Euros, if only for his excellent trimmed facial hair. Not to worry, Wales’s Joe Ledley is bringing the beard on in football. His beekeeper’s style is the kind beloved in Brooklyn, where it’s worn with a grandad shirt, braces and sleeves of tattoos. Very Father John Misty.
