This summer will be an especially busy one for the world’s top players with rescheduled European Championships and a Copa America on tap.

For fans, of course, that means a great summer of footy ahead and the perfect time to freshen up that soccer apparel ahead of a busy month of viewing. More than ever, brands are blurring the lines between football and fashion with all sorts of new approaches to kits and gear taking center stage.

The following is a guide to some of our favorite team kits, collaborations and gear across a range of teams and leagues with options for every supporter no matter who you’re cheering for.

Best 2021 National Team Soccer Jersey

Belgium Away by Adidas

How classy is this? One of the Euro favorites will feature their updated logo on a white/grey jersey with a paint stroke effect that adds a nice rustic note to the overall look. In prior years, Belgium’s look was a bit bland, following so many other countries, but this summer, The Red Devils are sure to make a statement both on and off the pitch.

Italy Pre-Match by PUMA x First Mile

PUMA’s overall look for the Italian National Team takes them back to the glory of years past, but their continued partnership with the First Mile program propels them into the future. The partnership helps transform recycled plastic bottles into fabric used for sleek, classic jerseys like this pre-match warm-up.

England Away by Nike

Rounding out our country lineup is this eye-catching approach for the Three Lions. The vibrant, varied blue background is meant to promote the community aspect of England’s football culture while the red and blue mash-up offers a decidedly more urban nod to the country’s biggest soccer hubs. Above all, It’s a wild and fresh blend of old and new.

Best 2021 Club Team Soccer Jersey

Racing Louisville FC Home by Nike

The North American Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) has quietly released some of the best kits of any league globally and that’s no more apparent than with Racing Louisville FC’s 2021-22 home jersey. The snazzy, fleur-de-lis covered design is distinctly Southern and feels right at home in the stadium or as the statement piece of a “casual night out with friends” look.

Forward Madison FC Home by Hummel

While this small, Madison, WI-based club plays in the third tier of American soccer, their jerseys have also punched well above their weight. The club’s flamingo logo (as homage to an old town college joke) is, of course, bright, but the beloved diagonal stripe is a classic touch, well executed in blue and white. This is the kit to pick up now and savor in the years ahead.

Paris Saint-Germain Fourth Kit by Nike

Any soccer style story would be incomplete without mentioning Nike and Jordan Brand’s ongoing collaboration with the Parisians. In recent years, the PSG jersey has been a platform for some unique colorways and this kit from this season falls right in line. “Hyper Pink” certainly fits the bill under our summer style trends to watch as well.

Best Men’s Soccer Pants

Manchester United Human Race Training Pants by Adidas

Designed in part by Pharrell Williams, these pants are part of the Three Stripes’ Human Race collection and are also fully made from recycled polyester doubleknit. The softer fit is best for those days that call for something a bit more relaxed.

Chelsea FC Woven Pants by Nike

These Chelsea pants are a throwback design to the colorblocks of the ‘90s and are a great pairing with the Swoosh’s special Air Max jersey of similar styling. The all grey club crest is a nice touch to wrap everything together.

Juventus Graphic Track Pants by Adidas

This loud, somewhat-camo print is part of Adidas’ expanded street style with the storied Italian club. It’s an ultra-slim cut using the same design as the team’s third kit and features more of the aforementioned recycled polyester textile.

Best 2021 Men’s Soccer Fashion

France Bomber Jacket by Nike

Another trend for this summer? Bomber jackets. While this French National Team jacket isn’t an “official” look for the team, it’s certainly a lightweight piece of outerwear worth adding to your summer wardrobe. Soccer apparel doesn’t always need to be a jersey or a pair of shorts and this jacket is an excellent way to add a bit of flare while showing your support.

Field Jacket by Rowing Blazers x Umbro 

Those opting for something closer to high fashion should definitely check out storied designer Umbro’s recent collaboration also-storied brand Rowing Blazers. This is a bright, exciting Field Jacket to build a whole outfit around with enough soccer “style” to show you’re into the sport without feeling too “into the sport.”

Goalie Shirt by Umbro x FAMOUS NOBODYS

Umbro’s early 2021 collaborations have been so good, they deserved two spots in our guide. This particular one brings together the no-nonsense vibe of streetwear brand FAMOUS NOBODYS. While there’s certainly a classic streetwear vibe throughout the seven-piece collection, the oranges, blues, and reds are a bit of a departure from the style’s expectation and feel closer to Umbro’s quintessential football roots.

Best Men’s Soccer Shoes

Manchester City FC Gaming Footwear by PUMA

Believe it or not, e-sports have become such a huge part of sporting culture, they even now have their own footwear. This option is adorned with City’s logo and features in their classic sky blue color in something that resembles more of a racing shoe with a flat, minimal grip sole.

Highway Werder Bremen Sneaker by Umbro x Werder Bremen

This super-limited shoe is a slick, sustainable collaboration with local Bremen sneaker store Glückstreter. The shoe is made from a combination of natural & recycled rubber and 97% E.V.A. recycled plastic in a process that means no two pairs are exactly alike. In the German club’s iconic green & white color combo, it’s a clean look well-equipped for a morning at the soccer pub or a walk post-match.

$125 at Umbro.co.uk

Copa Mundial 21 by Adidas

This new, limited release continues Adidas’ major tinkering with one of their most iconic soccer shoes. The bright pink and purple knit is an eye-pleaser, for sure, and with a flat, indoor shoe on the way, you’d be forgiven for making it a street staple as well.
