Kylian Mbappé and co. turned the entrance of France’s Clairefontaine training headquarters into a runway of sorts as they convened ahead of the EURO clad in a myriad of objectively stylish luxury and streetwear labels.
Historically, footballers have always been pretty bad dressers, either chasing trends or blindly trying – and failing – to set them. Yet when Champions League stars Ibrahima Konaté (Liverpool), Dayot Upamecano (Bayern), Randal Kolo Muani (Paris Saint-Germain) and Jules Koundé (Barcelona) – to name just four of the all-star catwalk cast – rocked up for duty, it was clear that the narrative had shifted. The idols on the pitch are now style muses off it too, with excellently put-together ensembles befitting Paris Fashion Week more than a tournament arrival.
France, of course, has a rich and storied history in the world of fashion, dating back as far as to the reign of King Louis XIV, whose appreciation for style and extravagance developed la mode as a bona fide industry across the country in the late 17th century. Fast-forward to the likes of Coco Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent and Jean Paul Gaultier – iconic French designers who remain a staple in the world of opulence to this day. So is it really any wonder that their national team dresses so well? While Les Bleus may not have turned on the style on the pitch in Germany, off it they reigned stylishly supreme.
The Barcelona defender has become one of the most renowned streetwear-savvy footballers in the game, making a splash last season with Sophie Hird’s starball-inspired outfits. Here he looked the business, pairing a sleek leather jacket with a standout orange tie and crisp white shirt.

For a defender renowned on the pitch for doing the simple things well, off it Konaté’s outfit is the antithesis. In fact, of all the eye-catching looks put on display by Les Bleus this summer, Konate’s colourful yet clearly thought-out luxe sport get-up is perhaps the most dazzling.
Upamecano’s silver two-piece with a white tee and stylish matching sneakers would look at home on the front row at any major fashion show. The Bayern defender certainly knows his way around a mean dinner suit, and that watch – phwoar!
This aesthetically pleasing sporty ensemble isn’t just a feast for the eyes, but also a perfect example of how to expertly style a tracksuit in 2024. Everything from the loose, boxy fit to the untied laces screams style and I love how the colours work so well together.
