How-to Style Your Women’s World Cup Australia Jersey

Ahead of the Australia vs England game tonight, we thought a style guide for the Matilda’s home jersey was essential!

The FIFA Women’s World Cup has generated a lot more interest than we expected, and following the tension from the Australia vs France quarter final last week, Australia has been at a standstill in anticipation for tonight’s game.

“The quarterfinals battle between France and Australia this past weekend has already written itself into the football annals, ending with the longest penalty shootout in Women’s World Cup history.” – Vogue Magazine

There are a couple of names that have stuck with us – Sam Kerr, Hayley Raso, Mackenzie Arnold, Ellie Carpenter, and Mary Fowler, and not only are they making history on the field, but they are also inspiring and empowering the next generation of female soccer players and athletes.

And while there are so many ways you can show your support for the Matilda’s, we always think the best support system starts with fashion!

But this isn’t a new phenomenon, this relationship between sport and style has become a driving trend in recent years – meaning jerseys are no longer only appropriate attire on the field, but they have also become the most popular streetwear staple. After all, if Kim Kardashian is wearing a Roma A.S jersey casually, then it is definitely a trend we are backing.

So, whether you’ll be going out for dinner and drinks with your girlfriends, watching the game from the big screen at the pub or just streaming from your couch with a bowl of popcorn we’ve got you covered.

This is for the girls who are going out to the bars to look confused watching the game because the dating apps aren’t giving what we need them to!

We’re kidding of course, use this style guide how you will – but this is ultimately how we would style the Australia jersey to go out for a night on the town to watch the game.

So, message the girls group chat because we’re making your outfit syncing easy! Grab a pair of knee-high black boots, a black mini skirt, a cute trench coat, and some gold hoops, and regardless of your agenda for the night, you’ll definitely be turning heads!

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with being a homebody! Who ever said you can’t look cute from your living room? Not us!

We think you’ll can be stylish from anywhere, and if we’re thinking like Coco Chanel – fashion means comfort and practicality. So, embrace the cosy winter look and style your Australia jersey to suit your couch-viewing of the game!

Pairing the jersey with some leggings, Ugg boots and a puffer jacket would make the perfect stay-at-home fit for this occasion. And if you’re planning to watch the game from home with company, we recommend accessorising with some dainty gold jewellery to compliment Australia’s gold and green aesthetic, while also elevating your comfy look!

Let’s be honest – watching the game from your local pub is the only acceptable option in Australia, so why not look cute whilst doing it!

We recommend going for the classy-casual look by pairing the jersey with baggy blue jeans and an oversized black leather jacket. This is the perfect fit for the game, it’s comfortable, yet appropriate pub attire. But if you’re reading this – we know you aren’t a pub girly, that’s why we know finishing the outfit at jeans and a jacket would be too basic for you.

So, let’s add some flavour to this fit and style it with a black belt, with gold detailing of course, and some white sneakers. And if you’re as extra as us, you’ll choose sneakers with a little bit of matcha green to tie in with the Australian colours!
