You're going to the pub. England are kicking off in 90 minutes. You have one job: wear something that won't embarrass you in the photos.
Three rules.
1. Nothing that looks like you bought it for the occasion
The novelty face paint, the inflatable trumpet, the £8 St George's flag from a petrol station — leave them. The pub is full of people doing those things; you don't need to compete.
2. Yes to the shirt that has a story
A retro shirt has a story. A KALAFULL prediction shirt has a story. A replica from a tournament you actually went to has a story. Wear those. They tell people something about you without you having to say a word.
3. Comfort over costume
You're going to be on your feet for two hours, drinking. Wear what you'd wear to your favourite indie cafe. Trainers. Jeans. The shirt. A hoodie if it's cool. Don't try too hard.
What to avoid
- Anything with a sponsor logo bigger than your fist
- The kit you bought for Euro 2024 if England got knocked out badly — bad memories
- White trainers if you're sitting outside
- A scarf in a heatwave (this will be hot — most matches in June)
What to wear
A KALAFULL prediction shirt with your call on the front and your name on the back. Cargo pants or relaxed jeans. Whatever trainers actually fit. A casual jacket if you're outside. Done.
