The England football team touched down in Germany on Monday evening, ahead of the highly-anticipated Euro 2024 tournament. The squad and manager Southgate looked cheerful as they posed for a team photo, donning their official M&S outfits worth £205. The ensemble included stylish suede loafers priced at £55, sleek £45 trousers, and a smart £60 bomber jacket in either black or cargo colour. Complementing the look was a half-zip knitted polo shirt, retailing at £45.

England’s partnership with M&S extends beyond the pitch, as the retailer is the official tailor for both the Men’s and Women’s teams. This marks a shift from the traditional suits worn by teams at previous tournaments, such as Euro 2020, to a more relaxed and contemporary style. The M&S range for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar featured a similar aesthetic, showcasing navy short trousers, casual jackets, and cream knitwear.

The England team’s choice of attire for Euro 2024 is reflective of a broader trend towards more casual off-field clothing. The public can emulate the team’s style, as the M&S range is available for purchase on their website, with prices ranging from £40 to £70 for individual items.

Southgate and his squad’s arrival in Germany was highly anticipated, with the team set to face Serbia in their tournament opener on Sunday. Earlier on Monday, the 26-man squad was spotted boarding their plane at Birmingham Airport, eventually touching down at the Erfurt-Weimar Airport at 6.18 pm local time.

The Three Lions then made their way to their base at the Weimarer Land Spa and Golf Resort, located in the tranquil town of Blankenhain. The resort, nestled in a forest and surrounded by nature, provided the perfect setting for the team to focus and prepare for the upcoming tournament. The England team’s presence in Germany had certainly created a buzz, with local residents and police eagerly awaiting their arrival.

The team photo, released on Monday evening, was a preview of the squad’s stylish outfits for the tournament. It followed the launch of England’s formalwear range for Euro 2024 last month, which included pieces such as overshirts, blouson jackets, a quarter-zip knit sweater, and straight-leg trousers. Despite not making the cut for the final squad, Marcus Rashford was featured in the range alongside Conor Gallagher and Aaron Ramsdale.

As the team disembarked the plane and made their way to their coach, they were greeted by a crowd of enthusiastic fans. Conor Gallagher graciously acknowledged the applause with a ‘thumbs up’, while John Stones waved shyly. The team’s base for the tournament, the Weimarer Land Spa and Golf Resort, offered a range of amenities, including three golf courses and a padel court.

The England squad will be hoping to make their nation proud and bring home their first tournament victory since 1966. With a talented squad and stylish outfits to match, all eyes will be on the Three Lions as they take on Serbia, Denmark, and Slovenia in their group stage matches.
