Millions have been tuning in to watch the Lionesses in the Euros this week, and while we're definitely enjoying the football, we've also drawn inspiration from the England women's squad's kit too.
The front row have been taking style tips directly from the pitch, pairing football shorts with everything from blouses, to blazers, crop tops, mules, flip flops and even ballet pumps.
You might think they look ridiculous on the street, but it's no surprise these sporty bermudas have caught on: they're breezy, unbelievably comfortable and are also sweat wicking, making them practical in a sticky heatwave.
Various iterations have popped up all over the high street, but Adidas' designs are highly sought after: so much so they have just launched a whole new drop of them on ASOS. These come in an array of lengths from short, to mid-thigh or knee skimming, fun clashing colourways, and the best bit? They're less than £40.
If you're tempted to try the trend, team jerseys and knee high white socks obviously won't cut it. When it comes to wearing yours outside of a match, don't style them with anything that looks remotely sporty: the trick is to make every other element of your outfit ultra feminine.
Try a white vest top with an oversized unbuttoned shirt. Or pick a frothy, flirty blouse instead. A sharp bodysuit will also work or a crop top if you're prepared to flash abs. These shorts will easily go with strappy sandals, jellies, Birkenstocks or trainers - but avoid white or black lace up pairs which could resemble footy boots. And simply finish your look with chunky gold or silver jewellery and your favourite sunnies.
