The World Cup is kicking off this week, making the Pub garden the place to be for international football once again. Dressing for the game has always been part of the culture, with the local boys kitted out in Stoney and their best pair of adidas, making sure you had the right clobber on for the match is nothing new.
Fast forward to today and after the whole viral Blokecore trend, as well as each team’s interest in fashion, we’re a long way from where we were in the early 2000s. Rocking your favourite team’s kit has taken on a whole new approach in 2026, so we pieced together 3 outfits to show you how to go about styling your favourite jersey.

Seeing as it will inevitably be coming home this year, we decide to style one of the outfits around the Nike England Home kit. Playing off the familiar palette of white, navy and red, we’ve focused on keeping the rest of the outfit within those colours.
The navy trousers are from Service Works and we know it’ll get a bit chilly out come the evening so we threw in an ecru Boulder jacket from Mellow Clo. Of course, we had to throw in the PALACE x Nike cap on top, a rare occasion where double badging is okay and you don’t end up looking like an absolute full-kit sausage.
Just make sure you don't get caught out when the goals start rolling in, cause washing Guiness stains out of this mesh could be a nightmare.
For the footwear, we stuck to Nike’s best Y2K mesh runner offering in the Pegasus P-6000. Sticking to the theme on top, we summit white and navy accents are a close enough match to the England colours without going overboard.

We went with PUMA’s Portugal 2026 jersey for this next outfit, seeing as it’ll likely be Ronald’s last World Cup and all. This Home jersey arrives in a beautiful shade of dark red, so we framed the rest of the outfit around it and kept it centre stage. Although, if you’ve got Ronaldo across the back and planning on hitting a siuuu at your local, then this outfit ain’t saving you pal.
The Bound heavy canvas trousers in army green work well to balance out Portugal's cherry red, along with a lightweight Patagonia jacket that helps play the Blokecore element down. To really tap into the Gorpcore aesthetic, a Cafe Mountain hat in brown is a great way to both decorate your bean and complement the trousers.

On foot we’ve gone with a mature PUMA silhouette, opting for a black and white Palermo. Named after the beautiful in Sicilian city, the shoe has a deep connection within the casual scene, letting you add to that important history each time you lace them up.

Last but not least, we’ve gone with the last World Cup winners, Argentina. Once again, the Home kit lands in a white and blue combination, the adidas logo proudly sat parallel to the nation’s crest. Considering how well the jersey’s palette works, we decided to keep it close to those colours throughout.

You can’t really put a foot wrong in the Continental ‘80s, especially if you’re looking for a retro pair of Three-Stripes that doesn’t scream for attention.
Picking up an ‘80s adidas banger in the Continental, the silhouette is making a return this year, so you know we had to add them to the mix. You can’t really put a foot wrong in the Continental ‘80s, especially if you’re looking for a retro pair of Three-Stripes that doesn’t scream for attention.
